    Hat tip to John Taylor Williams for linking to this one in twitter – “What Made for a Successful D&D Birthday Party” from the blog “The Mule Abides” as he explains how he successfully shared Dungeons and Dragons with 8 and 9 year olds at his sons’ birthday party. He’s now started a company hosting these parties in the NYC area. You can email tavis@adventuringparties.com for information on hiring his service.

We have audio from Paulette Jaxton on her newly released novel, Empress Sword. Available for purchase from Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com.
