I'll be honestly curmudgeonly and confess that I detest April Fool's Day; no doubt my sense of humor is faulty. I just glad it's an optional quasi-holiday. But never mind that. There's another very... http://www.brighidsfirebooks.com/blog/archives/#000117 http://www.brighidsfirebooks.com/blog/archives/#000117 Tue, 03 Apr 2007 09:11:01 -0500 March is Small Press Month (you knew that, right?) and we have a double celebration going on here at Brighid's Fire Books.

I blush to confess it but that's because nothing much has been happening, outside of paperwork ... not the kind of thing that is interesting enough to post here.... http://www.brighidsfirebooks.com/blog/archives/#000115 http://www.brighidsfirebooks.com/blog/archives/#000115 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 08:33:33 -0500 Good-bye 2006, welcome 2007!
