Michael's Monthly Missive
I don’t have a blog. My life is too busy and, honestly, I really don’t know what the point of such a thing would be. “You can’t win the Campbell Award without one!” I’ve been told. Well, so be it. I don’t have a Milkbone’s chance in Cerberus’ house at that award anyway.
So instead I have (more or less) monthly missives. Though based on the messages that the inimitable Dan Simmons posts on his website, I’m afraid mine aren’t likely to be as organized (and at times controversial) as his. They are, rather, the periodic rumblings of my chaotic life.
