Too Smart
When cell phones went “smart,” we jumped at the idea of carrying one device instead of several. Our rolodexes, Palm Pilots, paper planners, phones, and even to some degree, laptops have fallen by the wayside as we relish in the idea of being able to make appointments, contact people, surf the web, and social media with a single device.

| Making Connections: 3559. AMASKAN'S BLOOD by Raven Oak | 8 | 61 | Mar 19, 2015 07:56AM |
“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others.

Writing is going well! Amaskan's Blood is coming out in January and I've got a sci-fi novel coming out in the summer of 2015. How about you?
Are you talking about the ECWC or Emerald City Comicon?
