Feels Like Christmas  

Posted by Benjie in ,


So, if it was Christmas Eve a couple of days ago for Sci-Fi Wonder Boy Henry Melton, then it felt like Christmas for me today when I opened up the mail and found this . . . (see picture)


Melton is one of those authors who, when one of his novels finds its way into my grubby little mitts, I set aside all my other leisure reading to devour his latest. I suspect that there will be a review up at Book 'Em Benj-O within a couple of weeks. Until then, check out the interview I did with Henry when he won another award. If you haven't read one of Melton's books, pick any one, they're all winners in my book.

Update: 10/08/09 -- Review now available (click the link above).

Goodbye, Mr. Crichton  

Posted by Benjie in ,


I just heard that Michael Crichton lost a battle with cancer yesterday. Crichton gave us works like Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, Next, and Prey.

I cannot say that I always enjoyed everything of Crichton's that I read, but he was an excellent writer nonetheless. Just last night the Blushing Bride and I enjoyed the adaptation of Timeline while waiting on election results to come in.

Another one gone. May he rest in peace.
