NOTES FROM THE WEBMASTER
Sorry to have been off the grid for so long. Family obligations (Dadcare: he’s 101) plus promoting the new book, and as anyone who isn’t a brand name can tell you, plugging a new book takes as much time and attention as writing it.
However—reviewing has resumed. And if you’d care to check out the new book, which, happily, has received rave reviews from the pros and five stars from readers, it’s
THE NOVELIZERS:
An Affectionate History of Media Adaptations and Originals,
Their Astonishing Authors—and the Art of the Craft
And it’s at Amazon at these links, in
casebound color hardcover,
grayscale trade paperback
and budget-priced color ebook
