mistymasseyToday in 1690, "Publick Occurrences Both Foreign and Domestick", the first newspaper to appear in the Americas, was published for the first and only time.
I'm so excited to be joining in the Books4Barack fundraiser. Author Ayelet Waldman began her fundraiser with the hope of raising a little money to donate to the historic campaign of Barack Obama, and has been stunned by the outpouring of support. She has way more donations than books to send out now, and needs our help. If any of my fellow writers are so politically inclined, please contact Ayelet and let her know you want to send books for the cause. Share the word with writers you know as well, please. One book or twenty, it doesn't matter. You'll be in some pretty impressive company, and you'll be helping a candidate who's brought hope of a brighter America to many of us.
