NOTES FROM THE WEBMASTER
I’m staying current by uploading one or a few reviews at a time,
rather than the bulk uploads of yore, since the architecture of
AISLE SAY’s new design supports it. So please return periodically;
there should be new reviews appearing somewhat regularly.
You’ll know there’s new stuff when the featured picture to the right changes.
Meanwhile—also again—if you’d care to check out my 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
Its feature-packed website is thenovelizers.net
And it’s for sale at Amazon at these links, in
casebound color hardcover,
grayscale trade paperback
and budget-priced color ebook
