Hi everyone!

Enjoying the last quiet days before school starts up again!  (I work full-time at a university.)

Although you haven't seen me around much in creating-mode here at TSR, I've been incredibly productive this past year.  I finished my first novel last year ("Dial 999: A Jon Hunter Mystery," which you can find on Amazon.com), and I've been working on some old manuscripts that I never finished.  I also re-started my publishing company, which I had on hiatus for a few years as I was dealing with some health issues.  It is almost 20 years old now, so it's like a child to me!  Those things have made me quite happy as well as quite busy.

Even though I haven't been creating much for TSR, I definitely still run the monthly building contests for Sims 2 here on the TSR forums!  Right now the forums are being moved/upgraded, so there might be a delay in your ability to post to the contest, but there is an August one up.  I tried out doing a Sims 3 version of the contest back in January, but it had poor reception, so I'm sticking with my original 'gut' feeling and keeping the building contest as a "Sims 2 Only" contest.  It makes for a much more challenging contest and showcases the incredible creativity of TSR members!  So, I hope that you will all join us there!  I've been running the contest for YEARS now, and I have no intentions of stopping any time soon. :)

Thank you again for your support!
