I opened up my new issue of Decibel today and discovered that my letter to the editor was printed (it’s in the July 2006 issue).
In my letter, I praised them for being the best of the metal magazines I’ve encountered, and implored them to do a feature on instrumental metal. And lo and behold, there’s just such a feature in this issue.
Now that’s what I call customer service.
SCI FI Wire just published a piece I wrote about Dabel Brothers Productions’ new comic book series: two based on the work of Orson Scott Card, and one based on Laurel K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake novels.

Here are some pics I took at KGB this month.
John Langan and Holly Black read before an impressive crowd. The pic seen here is at the restaurant we gather at post-KGB. Plenty more in my photoset over on Flickr.
Science Fiction Weekly just published my review of the short film Missing Pages, which is now playing at regional film festivals.
[Excerpt:] Missing Pages is quite likely quite unlike any film you’ve ever seen. It was shot entirely with a digital still camera, and the photos were then manipulated with a technique called “fotomation,” which results in the illusion of motion on film, similar to the way a flipbook simulates animation.
Is there some kind of SF/Fantasy music anthology being put together? I’ve seen a whole lot of music-themed stories in the slush pile lately, and I’m thinking there must be a reason for this.
