Advent tells us Christ is near, and the Tollbooth just aged another year, BUT FORGOT TO TELL ANYONE!
December 2011-January 2012
If you write a press release, but don't send it to anyone will the get the word? Probably not. Here is a quick re-cap of our writers' awesome articles & reviews since you last heard from us.
Happy New Year! Yes, it is Advent once more, the beginning of the Christian liturgical year, and the birthday of The Phantom Tollbooth, that shadowy structure on the cyber highway since 1996. The writers, editors and publishers are very grateful for the support of our many readers, industry members and indie artists and, Lord willing, will keep on keeping on the journey until we reach our final destination.
