I’m taking a summer blog break for a couple of weeks. No regular blog posts from me until July 29th, when I’ll return with an especially long Twitterific. Then I’ll be back with posts on writing book endorsements, fixing a short manuscript, and using CafePress for book merchandise. Have a great couple of weeks!
