Our email has been down (domain issues at fogelson.com, my DH IT Department tells me)the last few days, so if you've been trying to reach me or hoping to hear from me, sorry! Hope it's fixed shortly.

I should have posted sooner, but the MoFo gift exchange draw has been done and you should have received an email.

I think there is a late signer upper, I can still add people now, but email me so it's not obvious who the late people are. If we have some late comers, it means people who already got a draw could do a re-draw if there is some reason for it. Again, email me.

Is anyone interested in doing a slacker exchange? deadline for gifts arrival would be more like Valentine's Day. Email me or message me on FB.

I've been busy with other things, but the beta site of the new board is very much ready for testing. Things are at the point where it's just finding and squashing bugs as well as filling out the static content like FAQ and things.

Admins, you'll find that the Admin section allows the creation and editing of static content pages directly on the site.

As always you can find the beta site at beta.buffistas.me. It is open to everybody. If you use your login from this board, you'll be asked to reset your password (the security is greatly increased on the new site) but you can can reset it to the same password. This is necessary to generate a new and more secure password hash.

ack I hate promo.

If you are a middle grade teacher and you want a school visit or skype, please come to talk with me via the usual means.

If you are a librarian and you want more information about the book coming in April (MG) or the novella (adult) coming in June, same.

I have been gone oh, so long. Partly because it felt like my ongoing housing woes sort of wore out my welcome. That is coming to a close...I'll say more in Bitches.

For now though, this is my annual, blatant request for click support. For the fifth year in a row, I am participating in the Washington City Paper "Best of" poll. I won the first year and have come in second every year since.

I am officially the AVIS of DC's life coaches!

It's a fun contest, but more than that, it steers people who would never find me otherwise to google and yelp.

It costs nothing and no one is ever spammed.

If you are of a mind, please click here and go to the bottom of the page. Click on 'People and Places' and scroll down 11 slots to Best Life Coach and write in my name: Bonny King-Taylor.

I would be so grateful for the boost. Honestly, I'm really only shooting for second place this time. On the 'win-place-show' scale, placing benefits my clients and I'm okay with trying harder!

hey I may have a couple arcs to send around if people are up for it - dms good.

Hey utilikilt fans...

A friend of mine is re-homing his two custom-made 3x-4x utilikilts (some sassy custom made bowling-type shirts as well). They're all in beautiful shape.

If you're interested, profile addy is good.

It's been a long time coming, but I did it! I created a Patreon for Gothic Charm School. [link]

If folks could help spread the word, that would be amazing.
