I believe that I may be the only literate (or semi-literate) in the world not planning to stay up to midnight tonight to achieve possession of the latest Potterism. I've read two of its ancestors and don't understand the craze -- fair to middlin' prose and plotline and characters, nothing special. But then, that's my excuse for my absence from the best-seller lists.

I hope the publishing industry still has some paper left when Ace goes to print DRAGON'S EYE....

Speaking of writing, I worked my way through Chapter 2 this morning, reworking to add setting and backstory to what _had_ been the penultimate chapter of WINTER OAK. In the process, I've decided that the menhir is probably a hexagonal basalt pillar, like the Giant's Causeway. Much mojo resides in such things.

And the LJ spellcheck has never heard of "menhir." What rock has _it_ been hiding under?

I hope I don't sound like a real wimp here, but midnight is way past my bedtime. Midnight in Waterville, with a drive back home . . . ugh! And I don't believe the local bookstores planned anything like you and Sharon describe.
