August 9, 2015 Fiction Description Opinion time, readers. What is your preference, or perhaps tolerance, for the amount of description of places, things, physical appearance, etc. in fiction? Do you like to have an exacting rundown of what the characters look like, what the furniture in a room looks like and how it is arranged,… Continue reading Fiction Description. Resurrected Post.

August Derleth, Cthulhu Wrangler. Resurrected Post.
August 2, 2015 August Derleth, Cthulu Wrangler Today I continue considering the authors of Appendix N. August Derleth managed to escape my voracious reading attention for a very long time. That is surprising, considering the volume of material he produced. Derleth wasn’t an Asimov-class churner of words, but with over 100 published books to his… Continue reading August Derleth, Cthulhu Wrangler. Resurrected Post.
Oregon Brewers Festival 2015. Resurrected Post.
July 26, 2015 Oregon Brewers Festival 2015 I am preempting this web log, once again, with beer commentary. Friday I pedalled to the 2015 Oregon Brewers Festival, the 28th installment of the venerable zymurgical institution. I purchased my tasting glass and tokens and got to it. Here, then, are my notes.

Books, Head-to-Head. Resurrected Post.
July 19, 2015 Books, Head-to-Head I have a couple of books on my mind. I just finished Live Free or Die by John Ringo. I’m about two-thirds of the way through Redshirts by John Scalzi. Two science fiction novels with a humorous bent. A side-by-side comparison isn’t entirely unwarranted, right? As noted, I haven’t quite… Continue reading Books, Head-to-Head. Resurrected Post.

But what has been in my… Continue reading Seattle. Resurrected Post.

July 5, 2015 If You Can’t Stand the Heat… Can someone please turn up the AC? It is too hot for me to be this busy. My lovely and supportive wife, Isa, seems to have picked up whatever bug has been plaguing our daughter, V.V., for the last several weeks.

Philip Jose Farmer, Appendix N. Resurrected Post.
June 28, 2015 Philip Jose Farmer, Appendix N Philip Jose Farmer (or P.J., as Appendix N has him) was a prolific author of pulp adventure. (By the way, I don’t need to keep spelling out what Appendix N is, do I? If you’re reading this web log you’re probably hip to the reference.) I’d call… Continue reading Philip Jose Farmer, Appendix N. Resurrected Post.

Under Strange Suns Update. Resurrected Post.
June 21, 2015 Under Strange Suns Update And at last it can be revealed. Behold the Brad Fraunfelter awesomeness in full color. I’d buy that. Of course, first I have to finish writing it. Or, more precisely, I need to finish editing it. The book is written. But I’m giving it another polish. Tweaking, emphasizing,… Continue reading Under Strange Suns Update. Resurrected Post.
