I am hearing the characters argue with each other in my head, which is a good sign since it means I am creating the dramatic scenes of conflict to move the story forward. :-)<br />Linda C.

Going to K'zoo is a term used by medievalists to describe attending this huge annual gathering.<br /><br />There was at least one session on Harry Potter this year. I think they've had sessions in prior years as well. The title of the session was" "The Medievalism of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Volumes" and was organized by Carol R. Dover of Georgetown. The three papers were: "The Heremitic Harry Potter: J.K. Rowling and the Ancient Occult Sciences" by Jon Porter, Butler University<br />"Monsters and Monstrous Races in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter" by Gloria Allaire, University of Kentucky<br />Teaching the Middle Ages through Harry Potter" by Teresa Rupp, Mount St. Mary's University<br /><br />I met and chatted with Gloria Allaire at the Congress. If you are interested in getting in touch with her, let me know.<br /><br />I can also get you in touch with the organizer for the exhibit hall if Zossima Press is interested in having a table there.

It was buried in a large amount of anonymous spam messages with links to all kinds of get-rich quick schemes.<br /><br />I do wish that I could visit Sicily, but have not had the chance to do so just yet. I am returning to Italy this summer, but the logistics of the trip did not make going south to Sicily a possibility. Instead, I will be going to Ferrara and Ravenna.<br /><br />Ferrara was the home to both Ariosto and Boiardo and Ravenna has a beautiful basilica which inspired Charlemagne to build his cathedral in Aachen.<br /><br />Perhaps in 2016, I will be able to visit Sicily to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the publication of <i>Orlando furioso</i> with seeing some of their famous puppet theater.Linda C.
