IRS may start going after sex workers
A senator from Iowa is trying to pass a bill that will give the IRS a $2 million budget to go after unlawful sex workers, in this case, unlawful being girls who don’t pay taxes. Fair enough; although why the IRS needs a special office for this is beyond me.

This is a follow-up to my previous post about the two, quasi-local, small-publisher groups whose meetings I occasionally attend.
outsourcing in the small pub business
I attended a Baynet meeting this weekend. Among other things, I discovered yet another slimy truth in this whole small pub business. One woman introduced herself as a copyeditor/proofreader/content editor. Great! Service people are always welcome. Then she revealed that she’d worked on a number of books from various people in the room, unbeknownst to them. Apparently, she’s a behind-the-scenes editor, an outsource editor. She gets trickle-down work from other editors.

Book #2 is on its way. Slowly. But getting there.

I've discovered the pleasure of working with Brian Gardner's WP themes. His free stuff is nearly flawless and his more expensive stuff is mind-blowing. Although his work is easy to use right out of the box, there's infinite fun to be had by customizing (i.e., destroying) it. As you can see here.
