Author of COMEUPPANCE SERVED COLD, reader, lover of crows.
My column this week contains a review of the horror film WEAPONS. And by "contained," I mean that's all it is--the review.

I love the Mendocino Coast Writers Conference every year, but this year the synergy of the Speculative Fiction workshop was off the charts! A great workshop leader, great writers, and generous, committed readers.

I just finished reading The Drowned Man's Daughter and it is brilliant. Sharp prose, immediate immersion (pun intended) in a strange future, fully realized complex community dynamics. Pre-order to support a longrunning Canadian independent press, and C.J., and as a favour to me personally, thanks.
