A wonderful little interview dropped yesterday from the British Columbia Review. If you loved Rebecca Campbell's ARBOREALITY and THE OTHER SHORE, you'll love this insight into her writing and its connection to the Cowichan Valley, BC. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/72xiymP8M4c

"As for real life, there is no deserving or not deserving, just as there are no values, no morals, no rights, none of that rhetorical debris that makes our lives a misery far beyond that ordained by the facts of our physical existence."

Submitted a draft of my contribution to an an upcoming Gemma Files tribute anthology centered on her book "Experimental Film".

"Vintage Reality" is a 6k-word story on what happens to a VR developer when he starts to pull the Victorian-era stereoscope (and all that stereograph content) into the Metaverse.

The story came together pretty quickly, and I'm pretty proud of it. Waiting for feedback from the editors.

Henry Kuttner's Crypt-City of the Deathless One, a sci-fi novella published in Planet Stories in 1943.

A lost world story, with killer plants and zombies, a deadly plague and a man haunted by his past.

Clever and exciting. Hugely enjoyable.
