I’m getting ready to write one of my columns. I have a list of things I want to discuss, but I started wondering: What do other people consider to be the hottest topics in science fiction right now? I’ve opened this little post to comments, so if you have any ideas, please post them. Tweet This Post … Read entire article »

Four Movies
The only good thing about a cold is that you can spend all day on the couch, with the lights off, wrapped in a blanket, drinking hot soup and watching movies. Last week, I bundled up, brought my Kleenex to the end table, and watched a small mountain of movies. Here are the ones that I liked the most from my little binge: Flawless: A movie about a 1960 jewel heist in London. The film is non-traditional, in that it is character oriented instead of plot oriented. Michael Caine does a tremendous job opposite Demi Moore, who seems (at first) terribly miscast, but grows on you. The script has a lovely surprise toward the end, and the sets are just plain lovely. Australia: It got … Read entire article »

February 2009 Recommended Reading List
Not only was February a short month, it was also a busy month for me. I read a number of books that I liked but wouldn’t recommend simply because they’re not memorable. And then there were all the research materials, none of which would interest anyone but me. So the list is a bit short, but within it, you’ll find some great works. February, 2009 Allyn, Doug, “An Early Christmas,” Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, January, 2009. I thought I was ahead of Doug in this story. I had figured out whodunnit and why, and as I read, wondered what made this a Doug Allyn story, as opposed to anyone’s story. There was a small twist, one that I couldn’t believe no one else saw, but I figured, that’s enough. Then I got to the … Read entire article »
