About Me…
NEW: A Collection of my Canadian Film & TV Essays...I’ve been writing provocatively on-line since around 1998: about Canadian film/TV, Canadian culture & identity, as well as about comic books and graphic novels. But I also occasionally write fiction, with stories published in Strange Horizons, Daily SF, On Spec, the acclaimed Tesseracts anthology (the 19th volume), and other places over the years. I mention this because I’ve put out a few pulp story collections. And if you enjoy this blog, essays, reviews, and/or any of my websites, one way to show support would be to check out MY FICTION COLLECTIONS and, if they look interesting…buy one! It ain’t PATREON or anything, but it’s a way of showing you think what I’ve been doing is worth doing, and would help keep this blog and the websites up.
End of shameless plug.
