Now for the update on Meril's writing.

We just recieved the contributor's copies. The magazine, Leading Edge, is published semi-annually, so any time before December you can ask for a copy of it at your favorite book store.

It's got the premiere location. It's the first story in the magazine.

Not excellent news, but news nevertheless: Gimli and I parted ways. We made a thread on TORC http://forums.theonering.com/viewtopic.php?t=101342 as a preventive démenti of any rumours and wild speculations, but I just realised b77 deserves one, too.

We are still friends. Everything is okay.

For those of you who may not have heard, our dear friend Sassafras passed away last year after a long battle with cancer. Athrabeth posted a moving tribute to her at the Hall of Fire. You can read it here:

I've been sitting here trying to find a gentle way to say this, but I'm drawing a blank, so I'll just blurt it out...

Some of you already know this, but vison has a tumour in her brain. She's going for brain surgery this Tuesday.

I spoke with her earlier today, and she seemed pretty positive. The doctor who's doing the surgery is also very confident that everything will go fine; if you have to have a brain tumour, this one is in the exact right place for easy removal (upper right quadrant).

The other concern is, there's something in her lung as well. So once the surgery is done, she'll either have radiation therapy for that, or just have the lung removed. Or both.

I'm told the news has been shared on HoF, but those of you that don't go there need to know as well.

Oh, I didn't know that about Sassafras, tinwe! So very sad.
I'd heard the news about vison. Heart-wrenching.
I may have the pleasure of meeting Alys & The Angel's baby this saturday in Oxford. He will meet my 8-month old daughter, Ada.
