Team Tem Gets Their Blog On

The Tems (Melanie and Steve, but did I really need to say that?) have also entered the Age of Blogs, thanks to their webmaster/computer consultant, Stace Johnson. Not sure what else to say about the Tems. If you write speculative fiction in Colorado, then chances are you've crossed their path and been enriched by the experience. If you haven't met them, then stop by a Stories for All Seasons reading (2nd Saturday of each and every month), because barring unforeseen circumstances, they'll be there.
