Elemental Review

I posted my review for Elemental: The Tsunami Relief Anthology edited by Steven Savile and Alethea Kontis. Call it coincidence, but a Web site for the book was launched yesterday by co-editor Alethea Kontis. There are some very strong stories in the book and I would recommend it to most readers of Fantasy and Science Fiction. The proceeds from the book go to the Save the Children Tsunami Fund.

Point being, go out and buy a book with good stories for a good cause.

I am VERY happy with Godsmack’s new album, IV.

A Meme from Andrew Wheeler:
