L. S. Popovich is the author of THE ARDEN, which was a finalist for the Next Generation Indie Book Award 2022.

They are a cat person (a person who like cats, not a cat human hybrid).

Every house needs at least one room overflowing with books, they believe. (Other rooms should contain scattered piles.)

Their short works have appeared in Chrome Baby, Havok, Aphelion, Bull & Cross, Red Fez, Bewildering Stories, The Ansible, 365Tomorrows, Commuter Lit, Farther Stars than These and other secluded places.

Aside from writing, they enjoy long walks on short beaches, black coffee on the rocks, and level grinding. The IBM Model M and a HHKB Pro 2 are their weapons of choice.

As a registered bibliophile, talking books is always a singular pleasure.

Hello D. Seifert.
My apologies for the late answer, but GR gave me no notification of your question. It would be difficult for me to find a book matching your description exactly, but I find that much literary fiction deals with adultery and married life. I've recently been reading Updikes Early Stories, which deal with upper class ennui, love, and marriage, and possess the nostalgic quality I so admire of a vanished time. The closest thing I can recommend to your request is probably Philip K. Dick's realist novels. He wrote 9 of them and they are excellent counterpoints to his weird S-F. They are mature tales of ruinous relationships, and poignant evocations of mid-Century America. (less)

Review of Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf

Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf is one of those bat-guano insane movies such as Small Soldiers or The Toxic Avenger. Whoever made it seems unhinged. It seems cobbled together out of spare parts, like the outrageous jalopies it features. Not only do the film’s voodoo antics overstay their welcome, the continual fixation on racing drags. Nonetheless, […]

This is pure wish fulfillment. The blurb tells you what you need to know. What you imagine might happen does happen. In that sense, all but the last bit is predictable. Though it follows the formula of a cinematic foray through a typical conceit, it ...more

Thanks Ted. I do occasionally sleep. And I send invitations whenever the notion strikes me. Not that everyone accepts. I think we can all learn something from one another.
