Wow, you go on the road for a little bit, and all this stuff happens…
Still in Cinci, but got a little news in my e-mail box to share…

Rattle e-issue features Jeannine Hall Gailey’s Becoming The Villainess:
http://www.rattle.com/eissues/eIssue3.pdf
The 2007 Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror (with two poems from BTV, “Becoming the Villainess” and “Persephone and the Prince Meet Over Drinks,” included) is out! Kelly Link, one of the editors, is one of my all-time fave short-story writers, so I’m honored.
Earlier Poetry Readings by Jeannine…Like, 24 Years Earlier…
My parents showed me this newspaper clipping that they had saved from when I won the fifth grade poetry recitation contest at my grade school. I was competing against sixth graders! The key was choosing “Anyone Lives in a Pretty How Town.” E.E. Cummings beats Edgar Allen Poe every time.
Where I’ll be the next two weeks:
Midwest Book Tour Extravaganza!!
If you’re in Akron, Ohio or Fredonia, New York, don’t miss these events!
Read about one of them in this cool news story: http://www.wivb.com/Global/story.asp?S=7136728
(However, don’t be confused: my bio is a little outdated, as I’ve graduated, work for Crab Creek Review instead of Raven Chronicles, etc. )

Thanks Aimee Nez and Mary Biddinger for making these readings possible! And thanks in advance to all who come out!! I will spill gossip and possibly pics after the readings are done.
After the readings, I’ll be visiting family in Cincinnati for a week, so I won’t be blogging or e-mailing as much as usual til after I get back on Oct 14.
