Why I Want to Be George R. R. Martin's Neighbor

I'm inviting friends and readers old and new to join my Auralia's Colors Birthday Party. It's simple: Write a toast. Not to me, but to the title character... Auralia. (She's the one who deserves it.) Prizes await two of those who "raise their glasses"...

Despite my best efforts to remain unnoticed, it seems another reader has somehow found his way to a copy of Auralia's Colors. My thanks to my friend Mary McCleary, who alerted me to a new review... ... by Lars Walker, a novelist himself has just written up a piece

One of my favorite kinds of "wishful thinking" is to cast movies of my favorite novels. I've been "dream-casting" since I was a kid. I remember deciding that I wanted to see Ian Holm play Bilbo Baggins when I was in high school, and
