Mark your calendars for WFOL 202 – February 15 – 23! And get out your pens, pencils, needles and threads, microphones – any medium that you can share. Your BatB family is anxious for new stories and poems, and art and your spoken word.

Be watching for the candles coming from your wintercandlemakers with pertinent information! Join the WFOL and/or the BatB 1987  Facebook groups if you participate there. Or sign up for CABB updates. Or check out the BatB Yahoo group. Or keep watch here – I’ll post them when they come out.

Join us for our next annual convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Mark your calendars for July 17 – 19, 2020. All the information you need – registration, add-on experiences, the hotel, and more – is HERE .

As most of you know, I’m the Librarian for the Crystal Rose Lending Library, our treasure trove of hardcopy fanzines, available for borrowing. I recently redesigned the CRLL’s website – but just recently I’ve changed hosting services. For now, the site is Under Construction again! Please bear with me as I reconfigure everything – a simple migration just didn’t quite work. :-/

The Stacks (where you browse the collection and make your orders) will make their return soon now. I wanted a more secure (and faster) host and believe I have that now. There will be cover photos!  

I’ve successfully changed my website hosting. I can recommend Siteground very, very highly. I’ve had to have technical support three times in the first three days, and they were patient, helpful, and quick to fix my errors.

I expect the site to load faster for everyone given the upgraded service Siteground offers. I hope to be getting Iron/Velvet back online soon – this move had to come first! Wish me productive luck!
