New Reviews / Not So Continuous

The SFSite has published their first February update, and with it, two of my reviews. First up, my review of the UFO ‘documentary’, The Billy Meier Story: UFO’s and Prophecies from Outer Space:
“watching this film is like diving headlong into a disorienting, paranoid world of outer space visitors, grainy super-8 footage of floating trash-bins, and [...]

Dead Markets and Other Notes

It happens in the life of any writer, so it had to happen to me eventually: A market to which I sold a poem has died before I got published or paid by them. Aberrant Dreams, who previously published my poem “a 24th-century reflection on emptiness” in 2008, and later that year accepted my poem [...]

Review finished / Houston Art Nerds

I’ve already enjoyed his RPG writing, and his work with Storytellers Unplugged so this novel was a treat. I hope Dansky [...]

We had Jennifer over tonight for a writing [...]
