Hi all,
I'm going to be putting together another annual holiday gift suggestion list to help everyone buy all books, all the time. Wouldn't it be nice if they could fill all their gift needs while supporting the Mischief?
To this end, please let me know (or remind me!) if you published a book in 2009. I want to include our whole community. If you're shy, you can email me at moonratty@gmail.com. Here's my ideal format:
Author Name/TITLE (Genre, Press Name, Month): One very brief sentence of description about the story (twenty words tops! no cheating or I'll cut them myself! I'm an editor; we're vicious with that delete button)
Thanks and kisses.

Looking forward to your list. Hope there's a good variety of age categories on there.
