The latest issue of Membra Disjecta is up. The theme is "Steampunk" or "Our Glorious Future", and we have interesting art, fiction, and poetry, including a poem by Victor Infante.
eta: next issue (March 2009) is "New Beginnings" or "Pirates vs. Ninjas". I'm hoping to get some buffista submissions for that one.
A new lesson is up at Gothic Charm School! Of Conflicts About Cosmetics, Requests For Fashion Advice, and Dealing With Copy-Cats.
A new addition to Deena's database info (see Deena "Sunnydale Press" Dec 3, 2008 8:02:52 pm PST above) is, "Top 10 under $10 pick-me-up list (In case you need a smile, what would make you happiest? Postcards; a new pen, refrigerator magnets, a keychain?...)." I’m just sayin’, Sekrit Santas who are slacking and Slacker Santas could really use info like that.
I give up on making the link clicky Wait, now it'd doing it? Yay!
New lesson time at Gothic Charm School! Amusements, Or What the Lady of the Manners Looks At When She Is In Need of Distractions.
OK. Next time, we won't try to do this over the holidays ... It's a little late, and we're a little battered from putting it together, but the new issue of The November 3rd Club is up!
Good mix of stuff this time around, including a good deal of reflection on the election and the incoming new presidency, including Pham Binh on The Legacy of George W. Bush: Democratic Dominance; Marc Solomon with, O.K. Now What?; Andrena Zawinski gives us a reflection on Obamalation and I offer my own Small Prayer for the future. And of course, Phil West goes a completely different direction with, Why the 2008 Presidential Election Was Not Entirely Unlike Rock of Love Charm School.
Add to this members of The November 3rd Club community offering us their thoughts on Keith Olbermann, Patricia Smith, Clint Eastwood and Kung-Fu Panda, and you've got yourself a mighty big piece of online literary excitement!

Hey guys, I'm doing my turn on the Chica Lit Blog Tour today, posting a chapter from a WIP.
If you wouldn't mind popping by or spreading the word, I'd really appreciate it!
It's at LJ provided it doesn't blow up.
One of my stories finally appeared [link] Maybe if Richard Price had been a crippled chick, his first efforts might read like this.
If anyone collects old Modern Library books, I am getting rid of mine for 2 or 3 bucks each. Email me at rlboston14 at earthlink dot net if you'd like a list of titles.
