Nice review from Northwestern University's TriQuarterly:

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Looks like Sam Weller is going to be pretty active with his Bradbury-related blog. He just announced "The 12 Blogs of Christmas." Should be some pretty cool Bradburyiana from Sam's personal files. Check it out if you get a moment!

In case anyone has missed it, Sam recently did an "ask Ray Bradbury" thing on his blog, with Ray answering questions posed by readers. Only a few answers, but interesting. Here's a direct link:

Along with the Stoker nomination that Richard was kind enough to post about, expect a MAJOR announcement this week on Sam Weller's next Bradbury related book. People are going to be really excited by this one!

Cheers,

John

As per instructions, I expected. But no MAJOR announcement has appeared. Are you sure we're going to be excited? Empty hype is entirely UNexciting.

According to Weller's Twitter feed, book will be announced next Monday in Publishers Weekly magazine. Gonna be cool, trust me.

Give it one more try, Phil - I believe!

Oh well, if it's on his Twitter feed, then it MUST be true

Mr. Weller will be blogging December 14th through Christmas Day! http://listentotheechoes.com/

Good for him! I shall make a point of visiting daily.

(I've also gone back to blogging after a while away from it - look!

Happy Holidays everyone!

As mentioned above, I'll be blogging everyday right up through Christmas. I hope you will join me by leaving comments, asking questions, and sharing memories.

Best to everyone for a joyous Holiday season!

Sam Weller has posted cover art for the forthcoming SHADOW PLAY - All New Stories in Celebration of Ray Bradbury over at listentotheechoes.com. Neat!

Thank you for always being so wonderfully supportive and encouraging!

Details on the limited edition of SHADOW SHOW can be found here (along with the complete table of contents):

Each contributor has also written a ruminative essay on the origins of their story and Bradbury's influence on it. Some of these are very short, others (Harlan Ellison, Jacqueline Mitchard) are pretty long. These essays will also be in the mass market edition.

Thank YOU Sam Weller for chronicling, interviewing,and celebrating our favorite author!

Congadulations and continued success in all your endeavors!
