A break from things I must read

[ellen_datlow]

I have a little time before I have to begin reading for The Best Horror of the Year, volume four, so have been picking through books I missed or that I bought (yes, Virginia, even I occasionally buy books--usually art/photography books)and haven't had the presence of mind to look through and/or read.

I just picked up Rare:Portraits of America's

I moved from writing horror fiction to articles about the plight of endangered species. Tomato, tomahto.

[ellen_datlow]

You did? I hadn't realized. Yeah...but are you not writing fiction any longer?

[plattcave]

Yeah, I write 2-3 stories about endangered species every week for Scientific American:

I keep meaning to get back to fiction, but this is actually much more satisfying right now.

I didn't know that. I understand and I've put your column on my goggle reader aggregate page. Thanks.

Thanks for reading! It's a tough gig, but someone has to do it.
