Hey, I had an article go up at WoG today too, Gloria: http://www.wogmagazine.com/2013/03/names-new-and-approved/. It’s my first for Trillia. She’s supposed to write a guest post for me sometime too.

Tim

Well done, Tim! And thank you, and sure! Shoot me an email with what you have in mind. I’d be honored!
