Nanowrimo 2011
Well, they aren’t great words, they aren’t deep words, they aren’t insightful words necessarily; they aren’t exciting words, they aren’t action words, they aren’t magic words; but there are 50,000 of them. Is the book done? No. It will probably … Continue reading

Day at the Museum
The Schulz Museum is one of Sonoma County’s hidden gems. It’s tucked away in a quiet, rather low-income neighborhood near a dying shopping mall on the west side of Santa Rosa. After our write-in on Veterans Day, Lillian and I … Continue reading

The Burning Soul
My review of John Connolly’s The Burning Soul is up at Fanlit. Some pretty prose (mine, not his) and some awesome prose (his, not mine).
Endurance
My review of Jay Lake’s fantasy novel Endurance is up at fanlit. I think I was rather harsh, but I do not think that Lake accomplished his goals here.
