I'm back (from the very nearly dead)

Hi folks!
I've been offline for a while, after spending more than a week sick in bed. I'm starting to feel better now, and am trying desperately to catch up on emails, which is probably going to take a while. If you contacted me since April 1 and you haven't heard back about something, please try again!

I managed to get my taxes done over the weekend and now am moving on to writing-related tasks. I'm still a bit disoriented and finding it hard to concentrate, but hopefully I can get back on track with the pieces I've been working on.

What did I miss in the meantime? Tell me some good news, please, if anyone has some. I have seen a lot of emails about the Amazon rankings thing, but I still can't tell if it is a permanent policy or just some mistake that they are going to fix.
