THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE MINIONS OF FEVRE RIVER

It’s been months since Parris and I last went to the movies, but we finally got out of the house last week, and bopped down to the Violet Crown to catch SUPERMAN.   I’m glad we did.   Supes and I are old friends, and this is one of the best Superman movies in a long time… maybe ever.   This new Superman reminds me of the version I used to read about when I was a kid, the strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.   (And yes, an...

Romulus and Remus are growing up.  And their kid sister Khaleesi is only a few months behind.

Here’s the latest update from the good folks at Colossos.

Here’s the latest about the ELDER RING movie that was announced a few days ago.

A24 is a kickass studio, and Alex Garland is a first rate director.

For all you Howard Waldrop fans out there… if you enjoyed our short films, the adaptations of MARY-MARGARET ROAD-GRADER, NIGHT OF THE COOTERS, and THE UGLY CHICKENS that we’ve been showing at film festivals over the past couple of years, we have big news a-coming.   A Waldrop feature is on the way.  All animated, from Lion Forge.

It’s an adaptation of Howard’s novella A DOZEN TOUGH JOBS, his  take on the Twelve Labors of Hercules.   Joe Lansdale, the Sage of Nacogdoches, father of Hap and Leonar...

Joe Abercrombie has a new novel out: THE DEVILS, volume one in his latest fantasy trilogy.

Joe has crossed the pond to the US on a promotional tour, and one of his first stops was the historic Kimo Theatre in downtown Albuquerque, where I had the privilege of sitting down with him for an hour to talk writing, reading, fantasy, fandom, and all manner of other stuff.   We answered a few questions from the audience as well.

Joe is a terrific writer and an even better guest.

We had a lot of fun, an...

The Miami Science Fiction Film Festival was held January 18-19, down in Florida (natch).    Mike Cassutt and I were there…  we had a series of meetings that week, and we’d enetered MARY-MARGARET ROAD-GRADER in the festival.

The film was well received, as I reported downstream in my post about the festival.   We came away with four awards.   Steven Paul Judd took two of them; he took Best Director, and also won the prestigious Russell Bates Award.   MARY-MARGARET also won honors for its costuming...

Rudyard Kipling said it way back when, in THE JUNGLE BOOK, in a poem called “The Law of the Jungle.”

Ned Stark echoed those words in A GAME OF THRONES. “When the snows fall and the w...

Gray Alys has come to the internet.

IN THE LOST LANDS, the film adaptation of my short story by the same name, had its premiere at my Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe on February 8, but if you missed it in the theatres,  you can now catch it on streaming, where it opened April 8.    Paul W.S. Anderson, of RESIDENT EVIL and MONSTER HUNTER fame, directed the movie, from a screenplay by Constantin Werner.  Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista starred.

The story was one of my earliest fantasies, original...

I promised an exciting announcement in that last blog post of mine, the one I wrote last night that went up this morning on my Not A Blog.  Big news coming on April 8, I said, and no, it was not going to be the delivery of THE WINDS OF WINTER, don’t go there, had nothing to do with that.  But it was going to be something very cool, something astonishing.

That part was right.  Only the date was wrong.  Colossal Biosciences, out of Dallas, had it all lined up so the story would break on April 8, ...
