		<description><![CDATA[Buck About two years ago I was walking out in Round Valley and saw a rider on a horse coming down a hill through the brush.  I got to him just as he moved onto the road. Right away, I noticed that there was something a bit off with the horse&#8217;s gear—the rider was not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sherlock Holmes &#38; Mission Impossible I have been looking forward to two movies this holiday season. One of them was as good as I&#8217;d hoped it would be. The other disappointed me because the story tellers forgot to make things clear. The two movies were Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pure Delight One of the most delightful literary characters to appear in the last decade is the cheeky Bartimaeus&#8211;a five-thousand-year-old djinni (&#8220;genie&#8221;) who plays the lead role in Jonathan Stroud&#8217;s trilogy The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem&#8217;s Eye, and Ptolemy&#8217;s Gate. In Stroud&#8217;s world, magicians have no magic in themselves, but they do have the [...]]]></description>

It was his workshop back in the 90&#8242;s that actually made me think I could write professionally and led directly to my first publication as a Writers of the Future winner.
