The Bodhisattva

I believe this is the last performance before the Boomtron Bard moves on, unless we dare track down lurkers and interview them as well. That said our lurkers are the best in the industry and often their commentary is superior and more enlightening than 90% of posts I see on the net.
The closer (an assumption [...]

This is your chance to brush shoulders with author Paul S. Kemp on November 8, 2007 at 8:30 P.M. EST to ask him questions about his work, the craft, or your traffic ticket. Patrick put this together so props on all that.
I have been wanting to reread the Kemp/Erevis catalog but I can’t find them [...]

Now we are getting to the people that do the real work at the site Patrick and Brian. Part IV is the Boomtron Bard’s Q&A with Patrick Bergeron II.
How official does that sound? That’s how we do stuff - we are total class, our moderators are mad dignified.
Patrick is the guy that kind of makes [...]

Somebody put this under the Tomio tree for the holidays!
Just got an email and Dave Lapham is selling the cover to the Hardcover version of Stray Bullets#1. For the hopelessly uncool, Lapham is the multiple Eisner Award winning writer/penciler of works most people know about like Detective, and more recently was one of the [...]

The Boomtron Bard sings the saddest of songs today.
That’s Rhaegar Targaryen (stage name DJ Rag-Tar) on the melody.
Find out what this loser wants to do, it involves chimps and funny books. Call Dan Didio and tell him he wants to talk to me.

So I published my last blog post on recently/reading and went back to my ‘current’ pile and noticed that I failed to mention some for reasons that are not clear to me but I think will serve a greater roll.
Or I simply forgot.
Let me finish, as although I’m sure neither author cares this incomplete post [...]

Yes, another one of these…
I recently finished reading Shadow Bridge by Gregory Frost and I’m done with the whole second to last paragraph (as of right now) of the review. I said this book was the sweetness a few days ago, and I’m really thinking barring me reading six to seven really nice books [...]

As noted yesterday the Boomtron Bard (formerly known as Lawrence) has decided to interview the FBS admins and capos. Today part II is brought to light as the reclusive Dave, the power behind the FBS throne. You rarely see him at FBS, he’s a vigilante, a madman, a hero - remember that guy you read [...]

I just posted the table of contents for the next issue of Heliotrope.
I had this whole write-up on it I was going to post, but then I realized I was retyping my editorial and I’m just not creative enough to write about something twice and have something original to say. This would be a surprise [...]

I know I’m supposed to be too cool to be excited about something as juvenile as blurbage, and Fantasybookpot.com has been lucky enough to be thrown on more than a few sweet books before now but damn it when you bust use your spare time to bust ass to build something it really is [...]
