Hi All,

Well, I'm packing my bags and heading out to San Jose on the 15th of February to attend the pagan convention Pantheacon! This is a fairly major trip for me, since I live in Upstate NY, but it should be a cool event. I am going for the presentation of the Pagan Fiction Award contest in which I am a finalist (keep your fingers crossed). I'll also be giving a workshop, doing some booksignings with my book Circle, Coven & Grove: A Year of Magickal Practice, and giving a few free tarot readings at the Llewellyn table. If you are attending, be sure to track me down and say hi!

The Llewellyn Witches' Companion annual is out now, including my article on saying goodbye to a group member. If you read it, let me know what you think. This is my first annual, and I've very excited.

I'm also excited that Llewellyn will be releasing a book containing all the short stories by the finalists of the Pagan Fiction Contest; it should out in October and will be called The Pagan Anthology of Short Fiction: 13 Prize Winning Tales.

And, of course, my second book from Llewellyn will be out in September, Everyday Witch A to Z: An Amusing, Inspiring & Informative Guide to the Wonderful World of Witchcraft.

I hope you all had a wonderful Imbolc. Hang in there, spring is coming!
