An interesting bunch of posts yet again, Jon.

However, I can't access the Rhonda Eudaly post, it must be friends-only.

Jon-- I thought the self-pub roundup (LJ Sellers) was excellent, and also the kidlit panel summary (Mary Kole).

Love, love, love the sexual tension post. Totally agree. I'm a fan of the anticipation being the best part, and then fading to black for the actual deed itself.
