Review: The Life and Times of Dinah Marton by R. F. Bruce, the story of a multiple murderer

R.F. Bruce’s The Life and Times of Dinah Marton is the story of a multiple murderer.  So let me start by telling you that I’ve never seen a single episode of Dexter, what I’m told is a series about a “good” serial killer.  On the other hand, I have seen Downfall, the 2004 movie about…

Review: With Our Eyes Open: Book A Break Anthology 2017 edited by Curtis Bausse

I enjoy short stories.  Why?  Well, many are the times I just want to read something at the end of the day, something that I can enjoy in its small completeness.  Sometimes I just want to take a break from writing, and I know if I get involved in a novel I’ll keep finding excuses…

Review: One Green Bottle by Curtis Bausse

That’s it. Of course, I’ve also…

Review: Spark by Atthys Gage

Let me start with a disclaimer – I’m not all that familiar with recent Young Adult genre fiction.  Prior to reading Paolo Bacigalupi’s Ship Breaker, and The Drowned Cities, the most recently published YA book I’ve read was Spacemen, Go Home by Milton Lesser, the last in the Winston Science Fiction YA series, published in…

Post 15. Feedback on Your Work – Part 1. Giving

Everyone wants feedback on their work – or do they? That might sound like an odd question, but let me tell you a story. When I was in college I once did something really stupid (only once?) and was on the receiving end of some negative feedback from people in the group I hung out…

Post 10. Thoughts about Writing – Great Books/Originality Part 2.

I’m following up on two previous posts – Great Books and Originality – because the two often flow together, and I thought I’d point out a few examples from the world of Scifi. I recently read through the two volume set from the Library of America, “American Science Fiction.”  The editors picked out nine “classic”…
