		<title>My heroes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the movie Gandhi, there is a scene where Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and his followers decide to break the salt monopoly. India being a tropical country, salt is critical for food preservation and for daily life (to replace the body salts lost through sweating), and the British government and their flunkies raked in huge profits [...]]]></description>

		<title>The greening time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that the low hanging, large, reddish moon that would be called a Harvest Moon in late September/Early October is called a Strawberry Moon when it happens near the solstice? 
The summer solstice was yesterday, June 20, at 7:59 PM EDT, so I thought I&#8217;d do a quick roundup of  ways some folks mark this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two wondrous things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, there is water on Mars. (Link to Wired article with nice image showing ice chunks subliming.)
Second, the Smithsonian now has their photograph collection up on Flickr Commons, with all photos hi-res and tagged as &#8220;No known copyright restrictions.&#8221; (Link)
Things like this give me hope.

		<title>Amphibian. Allegory.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend and one-time critique partner, R. Scott Shanks, Jr., has been having some frustrations getting his website up and running, so he decided to post to his blog, instead.  Click the link. Read. Enjoy. Remember that he wrote the following in a timespan of approximately 17 minutes, and know that he is a far [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sticky pixels and electronic cork</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been experimenting with doing more thorough pre-planning/outlining/storyboarding.  I&#8217;ve always written a pretty thorough synopsis and had a clear idea of the overall story, but there came a point in each of my past books that I would get lost.  Somewhere between chapters 8 and 12, give or take, the synopsis would say something like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paronomasia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan. Croesus said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll give you 100,000 dinars for it.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>They&#8217;re singing my song</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have a couple of Google Alerts set up to let me know when references to my books appear on-line. So far, most of the references to Immortal Warrior I receive have something to do with World of Warcraft or some other computer or online game. I hit delete and they&#8217;re gone
This morning, however, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>On love and latex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
On one of the reader-oriented email lists I&#8217;m on, the group moderator (who is brilliant at starting up good discussions) recently asked what everyone thought about condoms in romance novels. She wanted to know whether the failure to address some realistic approach to birth/disease control makes a book a wallbanger or whether the mere mention [...]]]></description>
