Today I was going to work on an announcement on the changes I'm making to The Genre Traveler, but instead spent the day regaining control of the website. Someone hacked into it starting yesterday and locked me out by this morning. I discovered it this afternoon. Anyway, things are pretty much back to the way they were, but I'll be spending the rest of this month (or, I should say, the time I have available for this website for the rest of this month) make sure everything is O.K. Then I'll have a formal announcement of the changes I've got planned. But, as a sort of preview, I'll let you know that there won't be a PDF version of The Genre Traveler any more. I don't think it gives me a good return on my invested time and ends up giving you dated information. So, hold tight, I'll be pulling together my new plan for the site soon and will announce it my sometime in March.

It's that time again -- time to vote for The Genre Traveler's Charity of the Year 2008. Place your vote now at: dragonwyze.tgtcharityvote2008.sgizmo.com The Charity for 2007 was Clarion West. Because not enough funds were raise to make a difference (a bit over a buck -- completely my fault), you will have a chance to either keep them as the Charity for 2008 or choose a new charity altogether. Be a part of the voting every year -- subscribe to The Genre Traveler today!

Then check out my friend's new book, Confessions of a Feng Shui Ghost-Buster. I'll be honest, I edited the book and designed the cover. But trust me when I tell you, it didn't need that much editing. It was a good book when I got it. It's part memoir, part feng-shui guide, and even includes some true-life ghost stories. For more information, and an order button, visit fengshuiharmony.net and click on the last link in the left-hand navigation bar.

Once upon a time, I lived in Southern California, and it was good. Then I got married, moved to Northern California. Moved to Florida. Moved to Texas. Moved to Arizona. Moved to Maryland. And then moved back to Southern California. Well, I've been here a year and it is now time to pick up my Tarot cards and tambourine and move again -- this time to Phoenix, Az. (Again.) Why am I telling you this? Because it impacts the posts I make to this blog. Due to the nature of what I post here, I can't pre-schedule posts to keep going while I pack, move and then unpack. So, if you notice a few less posts -- possibly even a week or two without them -- never fear. I'm just in the throes of moving and will return to posting again once I've settled.
