...some of you may be interested in this new book -- her name is Robin Sneed and you can find some of her writings on the Open Salon forum.

From what I read of her posts, it might be something to look into. I plan on it. (I don't know her!)

Here's the link to the book, but I would suggest reading her writings on OS first--she's good and gets some of us I think.

Flowergirls: A Mirroir

Right now I'm reading:

* Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood by Jennifer Traig

* 18 Rules of Community Engagement: A Guide for Building Relationships by Angela Connor

* The Last Ship - Willam Brinkley

Heretics of Dune---very good

Just got done with Stephen King's new one, Under the Dome. Entertaining, I suppose, but he did the whole apocalyptic thing much better in The Stand, without the need for the eponymous hackneyed plot device.

Now: Imperial, by William T. Vollman. About Imperial County, CA and it's history of migrant workers/agriculture. Immigration. Water rights. How the American dream plays out in Mexico. Valid criticism: long on passion/personal details, short on facts/research. Fascinating nonetheless.

Up Next: American Fantastic Tales: Terror and the Uncanny from the 1940s to Now (Peter Straub, ed.)
