January 4, 2015 Published on January 04, 2015 11:37 Tolkien’s Birthday Commemoration Yesterday marked the birth date of Jonathan Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Had flights of Maia not called him home in 1973 he’d be pushing the Old Took for longevity records, but still shy of Bilbo’s Ring-assisted accomplishment. An admirable man, a man I’d like… Continue reading Tolkien’s Birthday Commemoration. Resurrected Post.

Elmore Leonard, An Appreciation. Resurrected Post.
December 21, 2014 Elmore Leonard, An Appreciation So you’re asking, “Ken, what the hell? Elmore Leonard didn’t write science fiction or fantasy. What’s a post about him doing on your web log?” To which I say, “Huh?” and proceed to otherwise ignore the question. It is true that – to the best of my knowledge… Continue reading Elmore Leonard, An Appreciation. Resurrected Post.
VFW Book Signing. Resurrected Post.
December 14, 2014 VFW Book Signing Yesterday I held a signing at a Veterans of Foreign Wars event. I truly hope those who purchased “Reunion” enjoy it; these aren’t folks I’d care to disappoint. They risked quite a bit for the country, the least I can do is provide some competent entertainment. I like… Continue reading VFW Book Signing. Resurrected Post.
Increments. Resurrected Post.
December 7, 2014 Increments My wife endured a car accident yesterday. She’s fine, for the most part. I took her to a clinic for evaluation: She probably suffered some minor whiplash, and I’m watching her for signs of concussion. Puts me on nurse duty and full time baby care for the weekend. Dole out the… Continue reading Increments. Resurrected Post.
A Singular Birthday. Resurrected Post.
November 23, 2014 A Singular Birthday I hoped to reflect upon today’s event of personal note, my daughter’s first birthday. But the first impression I can summon up is a feeling of deep weariness. This, I suppose, is the common experience of parents. Raising an infant is exhausting. This does serve to illustrate the concept… Continue reading A Singular Birthday. Resurrected Post.

The Pirate of World’s End: The Returns Diminish
And so we come to The Pirate of World’s End, the fifth book in Lin Carter’s self-described Gondwane Epic. I stand by my previous comments on the books. There was a playful vibrancy about the everything-and-the-kitchen sink gonzo fantasy at first. Yet as I read this fifth volume, I was reminded of a couple of… Continue reading The Pirate of World’s End: The Returns Diminish
Lin Carter, Appendix N Supplemental. Resurrected Post.
October 24, 2021 Lin Carter, Appendix N Supplemental Rereading DMG’s Appendix N, I noted that the Lin Carter entry specified a single series. Now, I’ve read quite a bit of his stuff. I had plenty of fodder for my post on Mr. Carter. But I’d neglected the very work that got him enshrined in Appendix N.… Continue reading Lin Carter, Appendix N Supplemental. Resurrected Post.
The Enchantress of World’s End. There is Such a Thing as Restraint, Mr. Carter. Resurrected Post.
October 31, 2021 The Enchantress of World’s End. There is Such a Thing as Restraint, Mr. Carter. Lin Carter apparently enjoyed letting his imagination roam free in the first World’s End book (The Warrior of World’s End) so much that he figured even greater license would be even more fun. There may be something to the idea… Continue reading The Enchantress of World’s End. There is Such a Thing as Restraint, Mr. Carter. Resurrected Post.
