How long has it been since I've been hanging around my own blog? Long enough that it did not recognize me and I had to re-sign in. Sigh. Much work around these parts, all good; very grateful.
The news today is, the weird formatting glitches in The Bad Mother, my first novel, have been fixed (as have a few sentences, for instance, what sort of fight was I having with the word "and" at the last edit? I don't remember, but things have been well patched up and he's since been invited back into the maniscript) and is available on Amazon, paperback and Kindle. Official publication date is March but, why not buy it now?
Yes, people build their own wikipages. Of course it's deprecated, but of course vanity makes people try it on anyway. Here's an example more or less at random:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_P._Allen&action=historysubmit&diff=270706686&oldid=260038419
I patrol 144 pages daily so I see these things :-)

Here's a better example. This page is strongly suspected of being pure vanity:
