Did you hear the good news yet?

I've been mourning like crazy the departure of the beloved authorblog from our online community. David McMahon has been such a prince, every day connecting us to each other with his Post of the Day feature, entertaining us with his verses, showing us beautiful photography and the stories behind it.

I never could imagine how he did it all. So I'm genuinely pleased that he's using his time now to pursue his literary career. But it sure felt like massive tear in the fabric of the blogsphere had occurred, and don't you just it hate it when that happens.

But here's the good news:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The famous Sunday Roast,

in which David interviewed bloggers, 

lives on!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edwin saves the day

David has passed the microphone to Eddie Bluelights, the charming author of Clouds and Silver Linings . He's got an entire post listing all the bloggers who've been roasted since David began the weekly interviews Feb 3, 2008. It's a gold mine, I tell you!

So if your heart is still aching from not seeing authorblog at the top of your blog roll, head on over to Eddie's (a 7-time POTD winner!) and start following. That's where I'm going this minute. I hear he's got a rendition of the Wizard of Oz in the making, and I've got see what that's all about!

Thanks, Eddie, for keeping the Sunday Roast tradition alive and sharing with us a your own brand of good cheer.

So ring the bells, beat the drums, and spread the news!

(Doesn't it feel like that giant hole in the universe just got a bit smaller!)
