alexcatI update once every 2 weeks (or so) with fiction, challenges etc. Please feel free to contact me if I you have news or anything you think needs to be featured here. Just send me a PM at alexcat or post it to the update and I’ll include it the next time.
It’s a warm, rainy Sunday here in North Carolina. I’ve finished writing all the rewatches for Season 4 (though not posted them all yet). We will begin Season 5 sometime in the fall – stay tuned. Also, if anyone would like to review or has reviewed JMS’ new novel or writing book, send me a link to your review. Thanks. Until next time!

Bio of the week:
Our bio is that of Marjorie Monaghan. Marjorie Monaghan was Number one, Tessa Holleran, the leader of the Mars Resistance. Monaghan is 57 and from California and also has done roles in the Star Trek franchise and I do think I’ve seen her at least once on Murder She Wrote. There is older article about her from Babylon 5 magazine Here.
