The winner of the contest to win a signed copy of Homefront is Shannon Kinney – congratulations, Shannon! (If you missed the contest and the interview introducing it, you can still find it here.) Thanks to everyone who entered – it was a lot of fun to answer your questions.

More great interviews will follow at Backword Books, including this week’s interview with R.J. Keller, questions asked by the Johnny Denovo mysteries author Andrew Kent. Get thee to the interview not only to read the interview, but also to find out how you can win a copy of Keller’s Waiting for Spring.

I’ll now be taking my leave of all things internet (twitter, facebook, this blog…all things [well, except for email]) until December 1 to do some serious, focused, and long-procrastinated writing. I leave you with these pictures of fall. I hope you’re enjoying yours.

P.S.
