Jules Sherred is excited to announce that her newest book, Five Little Zombies And Fred, is now published! Within the next six to eight weeks, it will become available through all bookstores, throughout the world. Currently, it is available through limited distribution. Jules also released Five Little Zombies And Fred gear, and the Five Little Zombies And Fred music album.

It's another busy weekend for the Sullivan Family. Dakster will be surprising her son with tickets to the Mythbusters Tour on Friday night with the chance they could meet Adam and Jamie! On Saturday they have three troops and a Rebel Legion dinner planned. Here's hoping she can keep her sanity long enough to enjoy a laid back Sunday.

Brigid is working on a new painting and sharing her ideas about digital versus traditional art on her blog.

Amy is looking forward to New York Comic Con. She'll be there on Friday as well as Sunday, where she'll be on the GeekMoms: Raising Young Padawans panel. Look for her daughter in the Zita the Spacegirl costume.

Rebecca is also going to New York Comic Con! Although this sounds fun, getting ready for it is not. Making sure her kids have transportation everywhere they need to be while she is gone is a headache. But Comic Con! Yay!

Nicole Wakelin is heading down to New York Comic Con as well, where she plans to do all the things and get very little sleep. It will be amazing!

Judy Berna was thrilled to be awakened by a text on Sunday morning from her dad. He wanted to be the first to tell her that her hometown paper, The Columbia Daily Tribune, had done a cover story about her newly released book about her elective amputation. Judy's goal is to get the message out to anyone who needs it: Do whatever it takes to get the life you really want! For Judy it meant getting rid of a foot that no longer worked. And she's loving the new life she's found with bionics. Now, back to reality, and keeping up with a house full of four children who keep expecting her to come up with food for dinner every night.

Chaos Mandy will be celebrating her daughter's fourth birthday this weekend. The birthday activities will include a Halloween-themed party and then a trip to the zoo!

Kris Bordessa is packing her bags for Oahu, where she'll have the chance to check out the newly renovated Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach, say hello to a young friend who's attending UH Manoa, and pick up some coveted See's Candies for her sweet tooth husband. She's not much of a shopper, but she'll likely pop her head into the Apple Store while she's got access to one, too.

Cathe will be celebrating her birthday by playing board games with some family and friends all day Saturday.
