September always brings new beginnings. For us, this includes a new look for our newsletter. We are making this change for two reasons: 1) As we have grown we need a more sophisticated signup system that was easier to manage and 2) we want to be able to share book covers and author photos with you as part of the newsletter. If you are running an older model of computer or browser that does not support these graphics, our technology should recognize this and deliver a text-only version to you. If somehow we missed delivering the right version to you, or if you would prefer to have a text only link, please go the bottom of this newsletter and change your preferences. You will receive our next mailing in the new version.
