Let me start by saying that if you know an editor, I’d like you to take a moment right now and go give them a hug. I mean it. Chances are, they could use it. A glass containing hard alcohol might also be appreciated. Before this summer, I had edited one anthology: Cobalt City Christmas.

This Friday was a big day for sci-fi, far as I was concerned. Today meant the release of the sci-fi action movie I’ve been waiting ages for. How excited am I about this movie? It’s almost 2 am as I’m finishing this review for what I feel is the best sci-fi movie of the summer.

Those of you following the Fringe Candy posts might think I have something against chocolate by now. That’s not true. For instance, I’ve been in love with the Knusperflake (Cornflake)Ritter Sport bar for years. And this is a very special kind of fringe candy–the elusive beast known as the Import candy.

Submissions closed a little over two weeks ago. I have over half the edits out to authors and I’m hoping I can get the last of them off my desk tonight. Rewrites are already starting to flow back in. I’m also learning what a fascinating challenge it is to weave all these separate stories together

What do the movies Requiem For a Dream, Unforgiven, and Saving Private Ryan all have in common? Give up? They are all movies that were brilliantly made which I recognize as exceptional movies, but that I never want to watch again. And the reason is simple. Each movie portrays a bleakness, a world where hope

I have my old friend Pat Watson to thank for this. See, I’ve known Pat since way back in the day. We were pretty tight back in sixth grade. Then he went off and moved to California for a while to live with his dad. By the time he returned to our shitty little mountain
