Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi, Folks!

Ann Crispin here, with warm good wishes to everyone. I wish everyone a terrific New Year. May your ideal agent say "yes," and may every publisher pay you promptly!

Writer Beware just learned some excellent news. Yet another scammer has bitten the dust, and this is reason for much holiday cheer. Many kudos to Bonnie Kaye and her fellow authors for bringing about the official investigation into Airleaf that has caused this rip-off company to SHUT DOWN as of December 19, 2007. Way to go, Bonnie!

The world is now a little safer for authors thanks to Airleaf's demise.

What a nice Christmas present for the writing world!

Have a safe and happy holiday season, everyone.
