In a follow-up to an item last week, Diann Adele Turner <dadele@home.com>
says tells me that she's listing two pieces of B&B artwork a week on eBay.
She says that if you put "Beauty and the Beast" in the search box on the
Ebay home page, you should be able to find the current offerings.
Alternatively, you can go to the Listing Search feature and put in Adele's
user ID: 1Regal1. That should get you there, one way or the other.

Well-known fan writer Rhonda Collins, with the pseudonymous Sandra McLaren,
has produced a fact-based but fictionalized biography of a lady who, as a
teenager (and afterward) had a passionate affair with an Arab prince. It's
to be issued in three volumes. The first book, "Kahramaan," is now
available in a professionally produced volume, issued by Rhonda's new
imprint, Castle Publishing. On the website http://www.castlepublishing.com,
you can read a substantial excerpt from the book and find out if this
romantic (and explicit) tale of a forbidden love, with lovers from
different and seemingly irreconcilable worlds, who cannot be either "truly
together" or apart, is as enthralling to read about as it must have been to
LIVE. If you want to buy it, you can, if you wish, use the website's "buy
it" button and use a credit card, Rhonda tells me; or you can send a
check/MO directly to Rhonda Collins, 4511 Allegheny, San Antonio TX, 78229.
This project has been in the making for a long time, and I congratulate
Rhonda on this newest venture.

I again invite those with convention pictures on the internet to tell me
so, so that I can put links to the sites on my gallery.
