Update! Sept. 17, 2025

Hi Folks!
I enjoyed being a panelist and costume contest judge at this summer's Bubonicon in Albuquerque.
Great, fan-friendly convention with amazing panels. Broke a toe so been hobbling around (it is much better now). Will lead a big sing-along at the Albuquerque Folk Festival on Sept. 28th then back to writing the "Futurus Rex" sequel!

I must admit that I rarely read 400 plus page fantasy epics and it took me a while to get into this one BUT, Gene Turnbow’s richly-imagined world sucks you in with vivid images until a huge tome becomes a page-turner. Colorful and often unique charac ...more

As usual I enjoy Anne's great Southwestern native American adventures. This one was no exception but it seemed to have a few too many storylines and some dovetailed better than others. I really wanted to read more about native American children taken ...more

This 1987 post-nuclear apocalypse novel is one of the most visual, gut-wrenching, emotion-tweaking books I've ever read. I couldn't put it down. Granted, I read it because make-up wizard/director/producer (Walking Dead) Greg Nicotero with whom I used ...more

Lynn Barker Wow! Classic "Star Trek's" Chekov Walter Koenig reviewed "Futurus Rex"
"Past worlds and future worlds clash and revealed is a world of enchantment. King Arthur, the once and future king returns as does Modred, Arthur's great nemesis. Aliena, the song sayer stands beside Arthur to do battle against Grand Magician Karayahn's mad empress. Relationships are formed, people triumph and people die as the story rushes to a satisfying conclusion. I read it in a day and a half."
Walter Koenig March 18, 2023
