NOTES FROM THE WEBMASTER
FEBRUARY 2026
Apologies for the long delay. Much going on.
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—the second edition of my book is
about to be released (as you read this, it may already be out).
Four new chapters, over 150 additional pages:
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
These are buy-links to the first edition, but if the
second edition is out, you’ll find update links at the site.
And these will be replaced by new direct links
as soon as I have them.
casebound color hardcover,
