Things are getting pretty close to a turning point around here, at least as far as the end of the week posts go. There are two more episodes left in the Woman Called Fujiko Mine series (plus an essay, but that’ll go in a Monday slot), the thing that I […]
The intro is here. Token attempts will be made to discuss the other scraps of plot development going on this episode, but let us not pretend your humble analyst hasn’t been counting down the weeks until this episode. This week’s all about one character – the interpretive cornucopia […]
The heat outside is dreadful, summer vacation has started, and the cavalcade of summer weddings is well underway. I’m pleased all over to announce the release of my short story, “12,000 Day,” as part of Torquere Press’ They Do anthology! After weeks of putting things off, Devon and Sarah have […]
