NOTES FROM THE WEBMASTER
OCTOBER 2025
Apologies for the long delay. Much going on, hints below
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—news to come soon about my book

Their Astonishing Authors—and the Art of the Craft
Its feature-packed website is thenovelizers.net
