I know, I know ... I'm later than ever with this week's installment of The Underpublished's Weekly News Round-Up, but unlike my last episodes of lateness, I actually have a good excuse this time. I was out of town! Really, I was 5 hours from home in Parkersburg, West Virginia, for a little R&R with my partner-in-crime, main squeeze, and wife of 24 years. We had a great time--and one of the reasons I enjoyed myself is that I didn't bring a computer.
So, without any further adieu, here is this week's round-up of writing-, publishing-, and book-related news and opinion for all you wordnicks out there. Enjoy!
