Well - I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccckkK!

I want to thank everyone for their well wishes while I was in the hospital. I'm home now, and loving that part, but still isolated to the bedroom because of immuno-suppression. Right now, physically I feel great, but as my sister's cells finish grafting and producing new blood cells, especially white ones, I have to keep isolated and constantly washing hands, being careful, etc. But on the good side, I have my laptop, and can fully rejoin our community here and give Radiant Renee Stevens a bit of a break, since she and Cia have been so fantastic in keeping the blog going in my absence. They'll still be hard at work on the blog (heh - Renee has some content ready for the next few MONTHS) but I can help out more by being the main public face of the blog again. If you were chatting with Renee about things, such as reviews or anything - continue to work with her. I'm just here to smile and look pretty!

Hehe - so with that out of the way, what a great week the blog has had. Monday, we wrapped up the March Can't Stop Reading Book Club with the story discussion on Libby Drew's State of Mind. If you haven't chimed in, you can still add to the comments on the Monday blog entry. Stay tuned to this upcoming Monday to see what story we're going to feature for April!

Wednesday was again a wonderful entry in our monthly "Pulse Behind the GA Crowd" - a feature created and ran by our great Yettie One. For March, Yettie One interviewed Andrew Todd, author of the Riding Lessons series. I love Yettie's interviews for giving us so much additional background on the authors that we love here at GA.

Our Friday Prompt Me! - oh MY (to quote my favorite Takei). Not only did Comicfan give us two GREAT new prompts, we also got a look at the beginning of a story by Layla that was started from last week's prompt. Between love for this new story and the interest generated by the new prompts, it is only Friday night and we ALREADY have 15 comments on this blog entry.

So - how was your week?
