I’m beginning to put Charles de Lint right up there with Orson Scott Card and Neil Gaiman as one of my favorite authors after reading The Blue Girl.

Occasionally a book pops into your hands and you wonder how it managed to stay under the radar for so long. At the Firefly Gate by Linda Newbery is one of these books. Perhaps it is the simplicity of the story that has left this one unknown to so many readers, but it deserves to [...]

We have a tradition here in New Orleans that I’m told is a bit odd. The Sunday before Saint Patrick’s Day, we throw cabbages at each other…in an organized way of course, or as organized as anything can be in New Orleans. It’s the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade and it’s just as big here [...]
