WHERE THE GIRLS ARE: REVIEWS ARE STARTING TO COME IN

Check out this one by Ily Goyanes in The Examiner, for example, which praises the book as a whole and my contribution to the anthology, "The City Pony," twice. Awesome! I've sometimes been struck by how one can get a story or two in a major erotic anthology and very few reviews are done on the book at all. Maybe this is changing. Stand by for more.

Hee-hee. And if you like equine erotica (no, I don't mean beastiality) I've got another work on those lines coming out shortly.

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIE QUOTATIONS...

is from Babette's Feast, where General Lowenhielm makes a dinner speech:

"Mercy and truth have met together. Righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another. Man, in his weakness and shortsightedness, believes he must make choices in this life. He trembles at the risks he takes. We do know fear. But no. Our choice is of no importance. There comes a time when your eyes are opened. And we come to realize that mercy is infinite.We need only await it with confidence, and receive it with gratitude. Mercy imposes no conditions. And, lo! Everything we have chosen has been granted to us, and everything we have rejected has also been granted. Yes, we even get back what we rejected. For mercy and truth are met together; and righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another."

Is this cool or what? So overwhelmingly optimistic. And maybe it is true . . .

LET ME JUST QUOTE WITH APPROVAL...

Alex Good about book reviews in a recent edition of the Toronto Globe and Mail:

"Critics in this country are often accused of enviously cutting down our tallest poppies. For the record, I don't see a lot of this happening, but even if I did, I would be inclined to think it good horticulture rather than conduct motivated by one of the seven deadly sins. The tallest poppies are precisely the ones that need the attention of a critical weed whacker. They suck up all the oxygen and take the most nutrients from the soil, crowding out all of the up-and-coming green. Better to pull such plants out of the ground, shake the dirt from their roots and toss them on the weed pile."

CANWEST: MEDIA BULLY AND CORPORATE COWARD

Yes, apparently you can't satirize the big newspapers or media outlets anymore. I guess that might hurt their profits, and as every good citizen (sorry, I guess I should say "consumer") knows, God Almighty stands behind the right of the rich to get richer and views freedom of speech as mere ephemera. I mean, why shouldn't the rich be able to buy more speech than the rest of us? Haven't they earned it? And why shouldn't the rich be able to silence whatever they don't want said? Doesn't all that cash establish their right to do so?

My God, I hate these corporate, God-hating, soul-murdering shits. (Am I allowed to say that? Will I get sued?)

Apparently, this stunning young woman is in the new flick, G.I. Joe. What are the odds the film itself is any good? If anyone has seen it, please let us know.

PUTTING THINGS BACK TOGETHER

after a very busy period. The problem with going through a time of very heavy work
is that you have to put aside all those things which are so fruitful and inspire creativity, such as being on the net.

So. Thought I'd let you know.

I have been doing virtually no erotic writing for a while, but some publications of mine are coming out for work I did earlier. Stay tuned.
