I know this blog's been quiet of late. Reason? I've been away for 24 days in China - in Changsha, SuZhou, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Back now, jet lagged and ill. But will blog the trip, with photos, once my brain & body returns.
In the meantime, here are some news items worth pointing out / catching up on:
The Blade Itself
author Joe Abercrombie has partaken of a mammoth Q&A on
Stargate: Atlantis executive producer
Joseph Mallozi's Blog.
Over on
Omnivoracious, Jeff Vandermeer called Kay Kenyon's Entire and the Rose series (of which
Bright of the Sky
and
A World Too Near
have so far been published) a "modern classic." Whereas Greg L. Johnson of
SFSite, calls the series "one of the most imaginative creations in recent science fiction history."
Joe Crowe of
RevolutionSF has reviewed Chris Roberson's
Paragaea: A Planetary Romance.
"
Parageaa is a step ahead of most modern fantasies. It's not a blatant setup for a 17-part trilogy. Roberson isn't so in love with Paragaea that he spends pages of real estate describing the flora or the history. It's a backdrop for his characters to move through, and that's plenty. Best of all, it's fun. It plays in the backyard of Philip Jose Farmer, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Michael Moorcock."
There's probably more, but I can't think straight right now.

24 days! That's a long time! I look forward to your trip blog.
Meanwhile, rest & get well!

Thank you Christine. Still bed ridden on the second day back, but the light at the end of the tunnel is at least visible...
