hi Diana, i removed your "cuckold carpenter" blog post as it was a teaser post and is therefore against TA's guidelines. i appreciate that you posted the link to the blog because it would have been too much trouble to change the formatting but that's not justification for failing to conform to the guidelines. your welcome to post a new piece that includes the full article or, at least, a summary, while including a link to the full piece offsite.

// In response to: Tebet: Expulsion of the Sadduccees //

Thanks! I was trying to look for Jewish Holidays, but I guess they point out only the highly popular ones on websites. Tebet might have been a rare tradition.

Please don't hold back from sharing further reviews of your book! It's exciting to watch a book about the contentious origins of many Christian rituals be lauded rather than condemned. And as an aspiring author myself, I can only imagine how exciting those reviews must be! Keep us posted. :)

Hi, Diana. Your blogs have really been spurring some wonderful conversations; it's great having an author as a member who provides intelligent, articulate content. Although I just approved the post on your latest book review, the other moderators and I would ask that you post any further reviews as a comment on that post in lieu of a new post. It's easier for people to follow a discussion concerning your book if it is in one or two threads.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the other moderators. We really do appreciate all of your contributions. And please do keep us updated on further reviews; it's wonderful to hear that you are getting such a great reception! :)

I might have to ask my local library to get a copy. It sounds interesting. Nice to meet you too. I like how you worked the Gates of Babylon into your avatar.
