A World too Near

Shaun over at Adventures in SciFi Publishing asked if he could use some of my book reviews on the new site. I love the podcast and I love what he’s doing with the expanded site. I’m quite excited. You can checkout my bio or read my review of Broken Angels. There should be more of my reviews going live shortly.
Also, don’t forget that the giveaway I’m running for 2 sets of the first two Marla Mason books ends on the 25th. See the original post for details.

My name is Steven Klotz. I’m a web developer for NOVICA, a very special international company dedicated to preserving local cultures by providing a profitable venue for traditional handmade goods from jewelry to furniture. My personal passion is for the stories told by and associated with speculative fiction, particularly science fiction.
I’ve kept numerous blogs over the years, but I wanted to dedicate more of my blogging time to reviewing speculative fiction. I’ve used the name MentatJack online for quite a while, and I’m quite excited to using it as a label for this space.
You can find many of my reviews republished on the wonderful Adventures in SciFi Publishing.
Be sure to check out my links and to read list. I update both of those regularly, and lower down on this right hand margin, you’ll find links to reviews of books (and other story delivery units) on other blogs. I keep that list updated over at del.icio.us with the tag book-review.
Lastly (but still rather exciting IMHO) I’ve started work on a project I’ve codenamed TagShadow. It will be a quantitative, visual speculative fiction literature recommendation … thingy.
