CELEBRANT preamble

Should anyone be so foolhardy as to listen, let me know if it doesn't come through properly.

I recently had the honor of participating in a collection of new stories paying homage to the great Bruno Schulz, whose painting, "Spotkanie" (ie, "The Encounter") appears above.  Your reporter's story from that collection, "The Vile Game of Gunter and Landau," can also be found on the web here, at the Weird Fiction Review.

Ben Godby has posted a review of The Great Lover at Strange Horizons, and you can read it here.
This review, like D.F. Lewis' real-time review of Celebrant, which can be found here, however flattering to my vanity, is, more importantly, proof to me that the work I do does get across, and that I'm not spinning my wheels in unintelligible solipsistic monologues. This is a very difficult thing to know from my "side" of the writing.
I'm currently at work on a new novel. If I am able to muster up, I will begin posting recordings of myself reading extracts from the material here on this blog soon.
