YAcinema

Yet again I am sending you to another site instead of writing something interesting here. Sorry…I will repent, or something. But this is really cool. And you all need to check it out.

Before the actual post, we have some exciting news today: rock star/ninja/literary agent Nathan Bransford landed a book deal (for his own book, not a client’s).

When dreams are reached

I actually posted this on my personal family blog not long ago, but I figure since I have this blog partially so I don’t drive family members crazy with publishing stuff on the family blog, it bears a repeat here (also the news is just so amazing, I can’t help but to share it again). [...]
