Hype Night

It's once again time for a few announcements from some of our favorite people.
Bedazzled Ink News

The spring edition of Khimairal Ink is up! We're pleased to present some new writers and welcome back some of our favorite ones.

Sometimes pictures don't always take the place of a thousand words. Bernadette Quailey's "The Photos" gives us a poignant snapshot of a mother looking at treasured pictures. Living through tumultuous teenage years can seem to last forever and sometimes hastily shouted words do make a difference. Q. Kelly gives us a glimpse of a silver-lining with her quirky tale, "The Lesbian Curse." Tyree Campbell once again draws you into a captivating tale about an archeologist finding arguably her greatest discovery and its repercussions with his tender story, "Sentimental." Kirsten Elliott's "The Prayer" gives us the hope of those spring flowers. Regardless of who you ask, you'll never know what will happen until you actually try it.

Our editor, Carrie, put together a free, online writer's class last month. We were pleasantly surprised to see over 90 people sign up and decided that we would leave the lessons up so other folks could benefit. You can access the class on Bedazzled Ink's home page: www.bedazzledink.com/bink-class.html. In addition, she also has updated and enhanced her blog with information about successfully published works of our contributors.

Also just in time for spring, the Bedazzled Ink Publishing Company's webpage has a new fresh look. We've converted our pages to blog form for easier navigation and uniformity. We've tweaked a few logos and added a new chap book series to our Nuance imprint called Zerynthia's Tales.

Enjoy!

That's it for the news, enjoy your updates. I'm off to eat pot roast. E thought she'd better provide me with meat on my visit so she bought a 4 1/2 lb. roast. I told her when I cooked a roast for me and the family it usually was around a 2 pounder. What a hoot. I see roast beef sandwiches in our future.
