Well folks, some news. Ownership is folding @pghcitypaper.com. I wish I could say this was more surprising. I'll be on the lookout for new roles while I continue to teach and hopefully find places to publish some stories I haven't finished. In the meantime, I'm all ears for opportunities.

This morning I was doing some research on historic book prices. I'm rewriting something I wrote in my (slapdash) newsletter comparing US to UK prices for British authors when there was no internat'l copyright law in the US. I used a stat I found in my reading for the newsletter.
