New Reviewers and GRL is Almost Here!
Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words continues to grow this week as we add two new reviewers to the blog. Welcome to Sam and Aurora! Aurora is our new YA reviewer and Sam will join myself, Barb the Zany Old Lady and PaulB in reviewing all LGBTQ fiction that comes our way! Check out their bios under Reviewers and give them a welcome! I am starting to compile a list of all the wonderful author interviews as well. Changes, and more changes. What a merry week its been!
It makes perfect sense for all these changes to happen in the season of Change. Autumn is upon us. The leaves are starting to change color and fall, beech nuts, walnuts, and seeds are finding their way into the house via dog and wind, mostly dog. I have never seen or pulled so many “hitchhikers” from Kirby’s coat than I have this past week. And the beechnuts? Wedge themselves into the paws and then into the house. Can the squirrels be far behind? Or the stinkbugs for that matter?
GRL (Gay Rom Lit) 2014 is getting closer. It will be held in Chicago this year and I can hardly wait to go. I promise to post pics when I get back. Last Saturday our local M/M Group had a luncheon at the BareBones Grill in Ellicott City, MD, where we had special guests. Seth Fornea and Jared Bradford. They are as nice as they are gorgeous! Was it a marvelous lunch? Why, yes it was! And the anticipation builds for GRL!
