News

The Tor web site talks about a lot of recent and upcoming releases in various genres.

As does Barnes and Noble.

There’s a book on how to use use all of the features of your Kindle.  It’s a paperback.

Victories

Tyree is making great progress on Breathless Stars, having turned out another 4,000 words in 3 days.
Dylan’s massive contribution to the humorous anthology has earned him the privilege of writing a large biographical entry.  I suppose it also needs to be humorous.

Education

Ronda suggests the resources available from Purdue Online Writing Lab.  It’s worth browsing around their site, or using the site search to find topics in older postings, for things like Common Pitfalls,   How to Use the Apostrophe, style guides for your non-fiction writing, and Active and Passive Voice.
