Converting Monks with Slides in San Antonio
I was hoping to have time to write up the NT Live Frankensteins I saw for Tuesday’s Overlooked A/V but I’m still working on my presentation for PCA, so it’s unlikely to happen. I did upload a version of my speech with the Powerpoint slides embedded (very hastily, so it’s a bit clunky) so they…
Euro Punks Exhibit
Wednesday already?! Eek! Madness — this entire week has been, will be, is. Yesterday after the Glass Ceiling talk organized by the Women’s Initiative, I jumped in the car and headed down to Kingston for a reading of a new play at the Arts Society of Kingston. The play was on the life of Margaret…
April Fools Broad Pod
Okay, well not so much April fools as April fun! The April Broad Pod is up — that’s the podcast from Broad Universe, the organization that supports women in speculative fiction and has a wealth of fabulous people including me! Go on, give it a listen. Today I’m participating in a talk on “The Glass…
Reading: Lumottu
I am very pleased to announce that my play Lumottu will receive a fully cast reading at the Arts Society of Kingston on May 31st. Casting will commence soon.

Review: Magus

Kafka, Shakespeare and Cervantes all meet in a vision conjured by the madness of Kafka’s sister Ottla, overseen by the multi-skilled consultant to Queen Elizabeth, John Dee, who invites the audience…
Friday’s Forgotten Books: Lord Malquist & Mr Moon
Although a bit late in the day (just got home this afternoon and had to spend some time soothing Kipper’s complaints about being abandoned for a whole day and a half), I wanted to try to get back in the habit of writing up a “forgotten” book for Patti’s round-up of titles. “Let it be…
Publication: Sex and How to Get It
Drop by Polite Company magazine to see my humor piece, “Sex and How to Get It.” Worth a chuckle or two, I hope. Feel free to leave a comment or repost it to Twitter or Facebook. That’s how word of mouth spreads these days. Which reminds me: Kit Marlowe‘s The Big Splash can now be…
Shakespeare-a-Go-Go
I set off Sunday for a Shakespeare double-header with my theatre buddy, Ron, and got all the way to Massachusetts to fill up on cheap gas before I discovered that I had left my check card in the cash machine: D’oh! We got to Shakespeare & Co for the first order of the day: A…
Zombie Land
I came out of The White Guard today, hopped on my bike and thought I had landed in 28 Days Later. I had misgivings about the Waterloo roundabout, always an insane mess of cars, bikes and other vehicles and there was — no one. I have never seen the streets of London so empty (at…
