Happy Halloween
I have Cold Magics back from Gabrielle, and am going through her edits now. Great work.Meanwhile, it's Halloween. Did the shell-out, took the little one trick-or-treating, had her Godmother over for dinner and cooked a damn fine meal if I say so myself. Now stuffed, happy, slightly buzzed on chocolate, and trying to get some work done before bed.Also, daylight savings change-over tomorrow. Got to change the clocks before I go to sleep.Happy HalloweenErik Buchanan is a Toronto-based author.

So far, we are running On-Time for our deadlines. Excellent!Erik Buchanan is a Toronto-based author.
