About Me…
I sometimes go by the handle of D.K. Latta and I'm a Canadian sometimes fiction writer and self-appointed pop commentator who has opined about Canadian film & TV (at "The Great Canadian Guide to the Movies & TV"...and elsewhere), comic books/graphic novels (at "The Masked Bookwyrm's Graphic Novel Reviews"...and elsewhere) and storytelling in general (with some essays at the archived Pulp & Dagger Fiction) and am now turning my astute and canny observations (read: incessant blathering) toward a Blog that will, variously, touch on these topics...and more. Oooh...and I also love radio drama!Categories
Quote du Jour…ish
"I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose." ~ Spock, "Star Trek: The Squire of Gothos"-
