Queen of the May. Online Courses and Consulting. Bubbling enthusiasm for $arbitrary topic. Strange noises in the chimney. July 15, 2014. It turns out that we have a nest of chimney swifts.

Queen of the May. Online Courses and Consulting. Bubbling enthusiasm for $arbitrary topic. Amazon’s offers are pure propaganda. July 8, 2014. Amazon then suggested a slush fund for Hachette’s authors affected financially by Amazon’s sanctions against the publisher. Hachette declined that “offer”.
