"Hey everyone! My new novel, The Queen's Fencer, releases today from Five Star, a division of Thomson-Gale! To say I'm thrilled is an understatement...
(It's the same basic story as Swordplay: An Elizabethan Romance, which I published myself in 2000, but now it's professionally edited, completely updated and vastly improved. Think of it as version 4.0!)
Please check out my website (thanks, Steve!) at www.queensfencer.com.
The marketing department at Five Star hasn't caught up, so the complete info is not yet appearing on Amazon.com or bn.com (Barnes and Noble), but you can place orders there now, or go to your local bookstore or library and ask for a copy.

After several years at Lotus Karen Doherty took a package and went to work for Monster.com
where she lead a $150M sales channel. In November of 2002, I left Monster and realized with all my
sales and marketing training I wanted to provide clients with a service they needed and wanted, that
focused on primary functionality of a business process. So, the concept for zenhire, Inc. was born.
As founder and president I engaged a few former colleagues from Monster and Wang and started a company
that focuses on the Recruiting and Staffing sector of the business. The foundation of our service
is built around work-flow management and integration of key applications and services with a
patent-pending Applicant Triage(TM) technology that has a high rate of precision in matching
qualifications listed within a resume to a job requisition. We've soft launched with beta customers
who are amazed at the simplicity of our service and robust results in delivering only qualified
candidates. What is so different about zenhire? Its technology, regardless of the source or
format of resumes, our technology reads content and sources, selects and matches only those
applicants that will qualify for interviewing. The hiring workflow is completely automated
and operates as an ASP. It can be used as a stand-a-lone services or augment existing HRIS
systems. It meets HR-XML standards and enables the client to meet government compliance
regulations by recording all activity associated with a resume.
We at zenhire are very excited about our new service and will be launch this November in New York
at the Javits Center at the Kennedy Information Expo. If you are in the neighbor, stop by the
Kennedy Show and see us. For more information about zenhire, Inc.visit www.zenhire.com.

A note from BJ Scott - Turner (aka Caitlin Scott - Turner)
Hi everyone,
Hope this finds you all happy and in good health.
Some of you may remember that one of my hobbies is writing fiction (no
wonder I didn't mind doing all those project plans schedules...)
I also have a passion for the Elizabeth world - my degree is in English history (with
emphasis on the Tudor era) and I've been reading and studying it all my life.
(That's why I always remember dates...)
Well, after all this time my first novel, Swordplay: An Elizabethan Romance,
has been published! Can you believe it?
I didn't use the name "BJ" when I submitted my manuscript for publication. Instead, I came
up with a pen name, Caitlin Scott - Turner is my name now, after all, I've always liked
the name Caitlin. What the heck!
This is the positioning statement: Swordplay is an old-fashioned historical
novel, filled with sword fights, sea battles, court intrigue and romantic adventure.
Swordplay
An Elizabethan Romance
Author: Caitlin Scott-Turner
ISBN: 0-595-09635-2
296 pages, $14.95
Avaible now from www.iUniverse.com
this site shows the cover, the details and even lets you browse through the pages.
You can also call (toll free) 1/877-823-9235.
It's also available from Barnes and Nobles stores (they will probably have to order
it for you from their website or from Ingram, the big US book distributor) or from
www.bn.com (note: it's $11.96 here!)
Or from wwwborders.com or at
Borders stores, or your favorite bookstore. Amazon.com hasn't picked it up
yet, but I'm assured that they will very soon. I may also do a few signings,
just around suburbs of Boston. Stop in and say hi!
Here's my photo as it appears on the back cover. Don't I look all soulful and scholarly?
(No laughing, please) I wanted you all to know this is finally happening for me. Please
feel free to forward this email to your friends - and accept my apologies if you get
more than one messages from me. I'm thrilled to bits!
Thanks,
BJ Scott-Turner (aka, Caitlin Scott-Turner)

Ex-Loti goes Hollywood! Did you know that former Loti
Dan Murphy has gone to Hollywood? He was recently spotted
in the Jim carey movie, "Me, Myself & Irene". Dan plays an FBI agent who is introduced
to Jim Carey's character. Said one AXLE member, "The face looked familiar
but I wasn't sure it was him until the credits rolled. Pretty cool to see
him and more proof that you can't go anywhere without running into Loti."
