Twenty-five years ago, 7,000 strangers landed in a town of 10,000 #Canadians in #Newfoundland, who received them with open arms. Many still visit & friendships still remain. That is #Canada at its best.As we mourn the dead & salute the heroes, living & dead, of that day, remember—& act like you do!

Cathy and I have been watching season 4 of "Dark Winds" on Netflix, and I was thrilled to see the fine German actress Franke Potenta playing the villain. She was Lola in "Run Lola Run," one of the coolest films of the 90s. Nice to see she's still doing great work. www.imdb.com/title/tt0130...

Fwiw, I wrote a blog post about a really good film-crit book I just read. Check it out if you're interested. tinyurl.com/y8x56j7n #film #lit-crit

What I’m Reading: “Scream with Me”

The idea that horror films might in any way be construed as “pro-feminist” seems counterintuitive to most people. It certainly did to me. After all, women are the preferred victims of horror films,…

In Oslo, Norway a secret "Future Library" is being quietly collected, not to be revealed for 100 years. Every year a writer contributes a story. They are stored in these glass drawers. In 2114, they will published in an anthology. A library built for readers the creators will never meet.

A reminder that reviews are SUPER helpful for authors. If you’ve enjoyed my books, then please consider reviewing (or even just rating) the books on Goodreads, Amazon, etc. 🙂
