I wanted to give a heads up that next week’s Craft Challenge(Monday) features guest blogger Sapphire Phelan with a great chance to exercise your story telling chops.  I’m not going to give this cool writing challenge away, but there will be a prize awarded to a random participant — that means you have to post a response to the challenge.  Tune in Monday for all the details!

Want to know more about Sapphire Phelan?  She’s got lots of links:

FantasticDreams.50megs.com
www.myspace.com/SapphirePhelan
SapphirePhelansPassionCorner.blogspot.com
groups.yahoo.com/group/SapphirePhelansParanormalNewsletter

If you aren’t familiar with Ms. Phelan’s work, she writes hot paranormal romances so don’t be taken by surprise when you visit her sites. 

The writing challenge, just in case you were wondering, will be kept to a PG-13 level.

Have a great weekend!

Laurin
