CG Walters presents Spirit Story…an Old Genre Reawakening posted at Into the Mist, saying, “A path of communication with the subconscious—as opposed to a communication with the conscious mind—is alive, more a communion between the personal subconscious and the Collective Consciousness, possibly awakening or speaking to the personal consciousness a little along the way.”

Kastner of the Rittenhouse area of Philadelphia, PA. Lisa Kastner writes fiction, and is currently shopping her psychological thriller novel “Jersey Diner”.”

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for…

Last Friday I invited you to participate in a meme for your chance to win Lirael by Garth Nix with the promise the winner would be announced today.

I am pleased to announce that I put all the entrants names in a hat and drew Sandra’s name! Congratulations, Sandra. You have won a book along with a couple other Aussie goodies.

Thank you to everyone who participated. It was a lot of fun and I hope to do it again soon.
