[-empyre-] year of the monkey soft skin-space just slipping in like this post

[Laini Burton]

Hi All,

A question. Is there a general database or site where empyre members locate
their bios and projects? If so, please do let me know. There are so many
wonderful references people are sharing and if project-specific needs
arise, a database or site with information like this would make it much
easier to contact potential collaborators.

Thanks in advance,

Laini Burton
