Draft Done

I've finished the first draft of my part for the first half in the third WILD CARDS book, SUICIDE KINGS. Undoubtedly there will be rewrites (there always are with these mosaic novels, by necessity), but I've been having fun putting it together and weaving my character's tale (Jerusha Carter, aka "Gardener") into the main storyline.

Unfortunately, while I've been writing this, A MAGIC OF DAWN has been sitting. I might work on it again over the next week or so, but not too long, since the second half of Gardener's tale is due in a little more than a month, and while I suspect it will be a tad shorter in length, the wordcount will still be five figures...

Liberal Bias

A study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University looked at the network news (ABC, NBC, and CBS) and their coverage of the two candidates, beginning after Hillary's concession and continuing to last Monday.

Is there a liberal bias to the media? Not according to this study. Their findings were that the network news said negative things about Obama 72% of the time. In contrast, negative comments were made about McCain only 57% of the time.

It would appear there's a bias against liberals. Not a liberal bias.
