A to Z: Villains
A good adventure tale needs a lot of things: a hero or two or three or four, a problem for them to solve, long odds, improbably escapes from certain doom, high stakes if they fail…and a Villain. It’s often said … Continue reading
A to Z: Trains
There’s some part of me that thinks that no matter how far in the future we get, no matter how awesome the spaceships or starships we build, there’s a degree to which human transportation will never exceed railroads for romance, … Continue reading

A to Z: Florin
Stories have to take place somewhere, don’t they? In the best of tales, the someplace is almost as important as what goes on there. Heck, there are times like The Lord of the Rings when the setting is, or seems, … Continue reading
A to Z: Clint Howard
OK, we’re going with an actor here rather than a character or thing, but let’s be real here: Ron Howard’s younger brother Clint is, in addition to being one of the hardest working character actors anywhere, an absolute fixture in … Continue reading
Page One: A Princess of Mars
Here’s Page One of one of my copies of A Princess of Mars. This copy is part of something called the “Library of Wonder”. I bought it off the Bargain Books table at Barnes&Noble. Even though I already owned a … Continue reading
