Mike Shultz‘s story “Old as Books” (F&SF, July 2005, on newsstands now) was just reviewed in Tangent Online (along with the rest of the issue, of course), in which reviewer Aimee Poynter called it her “favorite story of the issue” of an issue filled with so much good stuff she was inspired to subscribe. It also received a a glowing review from bluejack in The Internet Review of Science Fiction.
In addition to being the inspiration for the films AI and Halloween, and being the home of writer Ef Deal, Haddonfield, NJ was also home to the Hadrosaurus foulkii dinosaur 65 million years ago (give or take a few million). It was discovered in 1838, excavated in 1858, then assembled in 1868.
Here is where I made my discovery. But also be sure to check out the rest of ZUG’s pranks, which are quite amusing. See? Humor can be educational!
I’d like to again welcome those of you who are reading this courtesy of the Analog and/or Asimov’s “A Blog’s Eye View” portal. You may have caught the “sneak preview” of my blog last week, when it was placed into the feature slot a bit prematurely. For those who did, welcome back. For those who didn’t, welcome. Come on in, stay a while.
My blog will be featured on the “A Blog’s Eye View” pages for the month of June. Otherwise, you can find it at http://www.tuginternet.com/jja/journal/.
And don’t forget — June is Slush Writer Appreciation Month. Be sure to check out my interviews with the authors of stories I’ve rescued from the slush pile. Currently featured is my interview with Ef Deal, author of “Czesko.” Also be sure to check out my interview with Mike Shultz, author of “Old as Books.”
And finally, one last note to my regular blog readers. If you’re a regular, do SF bloggers (and me) a favor, and click over to Analog’s (http://www.analogsf.com/blog.shtml) and Asimovs’ (http://www.asimovs.com/Blog.shtml) “A Blog’s Eye View” pages, so they’ll know people like the feature, and that the magazine readers are interested in discovering new SFnal blogs.
