Thank you for including me. I made a mistake in my submission by including Mr. Al, who only does history guest posts for me. I had submitted to a history carnival before submitting to Scribes Blog Carnival, and had a glitch when I posted. My apologies.

Alice - No worries. I hope you’ll submit to the next edition.
