Could it be I’m jealous?
Brenna Maloney has a new book coming out this month, Sockology… Read more. (stay tuned this week for a giveaway). I was scheduled to work on it but, at the last minute, I had to shift things around and give my editorial duties to Gailen (lucky Gailen).

The peacocks are multiplying…
Walking around the office yesterday, I noticed something. The peacocks are starting to multiply. We used to just have one, our Public Peacock, out front in the reception area to welcome visitors.
To make your own muster of peacocks, check out the book, Little Birds. Watch out though, I bet you can’t make just one!
