The lovely and talented Maud Newton has won first prize in the creative writing contest at the City College of New York. Of course, being the humble person that she is, she mentions way at the bottom of this entry about her return to NYC.
During the last couple of days, Carrie A. A. Frye (CAAF) guest-blogged at Maud’s site and had lots of interesting material, from poetry and polar exploration to Borges and Poe. Look for CAAF’s blog very soon.
God of the Machine has a fantastic parody of one of Terry’s recent posts, and Terry loves it.
