You can help NF research in 60 seconds

Dear
Friends,

American
Express is currently sponsoring a non-profit contest called The Members
Project. We have submitted our Drug Discovery Initiative, which helps
to identify drugs for NF treatment, for consideration. Almost 1200 projects
entered and the DDI proposal is currently in #42 with 1087 votes.

Voting
closes at midnight on Monday, September 1. The top 25 projects will move to the
next round, with the chance to share $2,500,000.00 in funding. This is an
important opportunity for our community to raise awareness and drive much needed
resources toward researching therapeutics for NF.

You
do not need to be a card holder to vote and it takes less than a minute to
register as a guest and then login to vote. American Express cardholders can
login with their user name.

Please
visit our homepage at www.ctf.org.
Clicking on the top item in the “What’s New” section on the right side will take
you right to the American Express Members project page. Your vote, an investment
of less than 60 seconds, could bring us closer to treatments for NF.

We
need your vote before midnight on Monday, and please distribute
to friends and family and ask them to vote for it as well. Feel free to post
this message on Myspace, Facebook, any bulletin boards and other social
networking sites.

Many
thanks and the best to you on this holiday weekend,

IWOFA: Your Spec Fiction News Source

Do you enjoy speculative fiction? Of course!

Well, there’s a new
announcement group where you can learn about each month’s current releases. It’s
called Infinite Worlds of Fantasy Authors, a great group, and my scribe is a member there.

This isn’t a chat-type group. Authors will post
new release announcements and review news only–each item just once, you won’t
be barraged by the same excerpt over and over–and you’ll learn about some great
books.

Emerald City Writers’ Conference

The Emerald City Writers’ Conference (Oct. 10-12, Bellevue, WA) promises to be excellent, as usual! Here’s the blurb the conference chair sent:

“We have three outstanding luncheon/keynote speakers (NYT bestselling authors Susan Mallery, Julia Quinn, and Allison Brennan,) excellent workshops, a comfortable and welcoming venue, and we have the lovely, the talented, the indomitable and indefatigable, the one-woman motivational machine, Cherry Adair! She wants you to finish the “Write the Damn Book” challenge, and so do we! When all that isn’t going on, we have seven agents and editors in attendance and looking forward to meeting with you!”

Of course, Eilis Flynn and I will be presenting Faeries Along the Silk Road on Saturday. Also on Saturday, Oct. 11 at 4pm is an event we all love–massive romance booksigning! Yes, it’s the Emerald City Bookfair, and often 50 or more romance authors are signing–many are NYT Best-selling authors. Eilis and I will be there, too. You don’t have to register for ECWC to attend the bookfair.

See you there!
