Is the Sky Falling?

Fellow Red Room author Lauren Lise Baratz-Logstead is simply an awesome blogger. Yesterday she wrote about what many of you have probably heard: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is calling a temporary halt on new acquisitions. Needless to say, this has caused quite a stir.

Lauren covers it all in her blog from yesterday entitled Is the Sky Falling? It explains what happened, why, how it affects the industry -- and most of all, what published and pre-published authors alike can do to avoid being a casualty of tight economic times. It's a long blog, but well worth reading. In fact, I'm adding Lauren to my "daily blog read" list.

On Friday (tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the US), I'll post another snippet from The Trouble with Demons featuring Raine, Phaelan, Vegard -- and Phaelan's dad (and Raine's uncle) Commodore Ryn Benares.
