No Sunday photo: tech problems

No photos this week due to technical problems. This site was displaying all wrong on both my home and work laptops, with all the formatting completely broken and no images appearing at all.

Guest Post: Hank Quense

Sheila says: I first “met” Hank about 20 years ago at the critters workshop, and we joined a splinter group of 10 for faster turnaround of critiques. Over the years his satirical fantasy stories has given me more giggles and belly laughs than I can count. Lately he’s also been writing nonfiction for writers. I just want to confirm that he does actually know what he’s writing about (not like…
