No, no review (alas), but I show up in two photos in the coverage of the World Fantasy Convention in the current issue of Locus (“The Magazine of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Field“): one with fellow Canadian authors Simon Rose and Leslie Carmichael at the mass autograph session, and one with DAW editors Sheila …

A new review of Lost in Translation…
…has popped up at the blog Bibliophagic. Brazilian blogger Adiel Mittman gives it four stars out of five (and says it reminded him of Asimov’s Foundation series!) but he does have some thoughtful caveats. A few highlights: This book is a good read. The author’s idea of translators is an interesting one…If translating between human …

What I’ve Just Read: Off Armageddon Reef
I’m a big David Weber fan (and had a chance to meet him and be on a panel with him at ConVersion in Calgary a couple of years ago)…or perhaps it would be more accurate to say I’m a big Honor Harrington fan, since nothing else he’s written has captured my interest as much as …

Seizing appetite by the NAPE
’Tis the season to begin newspaper columns with the phrase “’Tis the season,” and who am I to resist? Failing to resist that particular temptation is of little moment, of course. Failing to resist another temptation endemic to this time of year is not: the temptation to eat…and eat…and eat. Why do we eat more …

On the occasion of Madeleine L’Engle’s 90th birthday…
…her granddaughter has posted some lovely and moving thoughts. Madeleine L’Engle, from the moment I read A Wrinkle in Time as a child, has been one of my all-time favorite writers. I can’t say how she’s influenced me–there’s not much relationship between one of her elegant stories and my novels, at least on the surface–but …

My review of Globe Theatre’s Anne of Green Gables…
…is now online at the Regina LeaderPost. An excerpt: One of the challenges for many members of the cast is the classic problem of being adults portraying children, and the one facing the greatest challenge is Toni MacRae, who plays Anne. The show would fail if the audience couldn’t suspend its disbelief enough to accept …
