Books Fantasist Enterprises has posted samples of the inside artwork for the Sails and Sorcery: Tales of Nautical Fantasy anthology. Alas, the art for my story "The Islands of Hope" isn't up, but I was able to preview the illustration and Julie Dillon captured the essence of my story perfectly. I can't wait to see the words and art together. Sails and Sorcery will be released in August 2007, but is available for preorder now.

CONFERENCES BACK: Jason Jack Miller , Timons Esaias , and Heidi Ruby Miller FRONT: Ellen Spain , Victoria Thompson , and Mary Ann Aug The 2007 Pennwriters Conference The Write Attitude was a wonderful experience, both personally and professionally.

BACK: Mary Ann Aug and Heidi Ruby Miller FRONT: Lisa D. K. Coutant , Vice President of Pennwriters, Barbara Lockwood, President of Pennwriters, and Jason Jack Miller The above photo was taken after Victoria Thompson, mystery author and Seton Hill mentor, gave her keynote at the luncheon on Saturday.

PUBLICATION: Robot Knows by Heidi Ruby Miller in SCIFAIKUEST

PUBLICATIONS Geoffrey Girard reminded me that my journal hasn't had much about me in it for some time, so here's some good news of my own to promote. I sold my poem 'Robot knows' to SCIFAIKUEST. Those of you who attended the Poetry Panel at Confluence 2006 heard an alternate version to this joined haiku. It will be one of the poems I read at the Three Rivers Arts Festival in Pittsburgh on June 2, alongside Timons Esaias and Michael A. Arnzen. If you're in the area, please come and see us.
