Fall Fan Club Newsletter

Right now it looks like I will be sending out the newsletter without the goodies packages. It is taking a bit for some of the manufacturers to get them done. So I may hold those till December and ship them out then.
Also, our guest author for the Fall Newsletter will be MJ Rose. Mark Kearney?s book has been pushed back to December (it happens a lot in publishing).
