- Angel of Death. “Nobody looks for the Beretta, when all they see is a slinky chick in a cocktail dress. Noir comic book legend Ed Brubaker cuts deep with the story of Eve, a hot woman with a heart of ice.” And I ask you, WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS?!?
- Leo Weekly (Louisville’s alternative weekly magazine) pretty much digs TWWRTS. Just this once I’ll respond just a smidge to a bit of criticism — not because the criticism isn’t valid, but because there’s an explanation: The most sympathetic characters in Those Who Went Remain There Still are the men who left Kentucky … because I got the original family legend from the branch of the Coys who … well … left Kentucky. It wasn’t personal, I swear; nay, I rather like Kentucky and have often thought that Louisville might be a great new home town, should I ever make it back to my native quadrant of the continental 48. [Edited to add - their site seems to be having trouble. Check again later for review if you can't see it.]
- Ain’t too proud to beg. Yeah, I’m still trawling for Amazon reviews — and I most heartily thank those of you who’ve already responded to the call. In particular, it makes me sad that Fathom and Those Who Went are yet so sparsely discussed. Reviews really do make a difference to sales and word of mouth, so if you’ve read either of these books (or any of my others) and feel moved to comment thereupon, I’d be immensely grateful.
- Not just radioactive. Not just a sex offender. Sounds like the makings of a supervillain to me! “Judge John Price said: ‘Please warn officers that when he is arrested he might be radioactive.’ He added: ‘This is not a joke.’”
- Triple rainbow, baby. I took this picture this morning, while driving down the 520 and rejoicing because my dentist visit could’ve gone SO MUCH WORSE. I have but one wee cavity, though I’ll need several sessions of hygienist work to get the calcified gunk out of my mouth — so I’ll be making a total of four trips back to the doc over the next month or two. But seriously. After ten years with no dentist? I expected half a dozen root canals and a 3-day seminar on the subject of my great and odious FAIL.
