Literary gems

I have a couple of shout-outs to make to two very good friends who both had books published in the same week. Truly an alignment of stars of some kind. Mad props to people I love who don't dream it, they be it.

Stuart Clark, a classmate at the Jedi Academy, father of the cutest baby on the East Coast, and a diamond geezer of the very highest carat, is now a not-quite-so-struggling-as-he-was sci-fi author. Go get a copy of Project U.L.F. If you dig alien shit, you'll be sweet.







Theresa MacPhail, real-life Bond girl and Chinese-speaking medical anthropologist, has craftily tapped into the bird flu terror and written a timely international thriller titled Eye Of The Virus. I've ordered it but not read it, but if there's a character in any way based on yours truly she'll have more than some chicken with a cough to worry about. (Kisses, Tez!)
