		<title>New review of Software by the Kilo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A nice well written &#8220;four spider&#8221; review of my latest novel, Software by the Kilo, over at Webb Weaver. A bit of it below:
I heartily enjoyed Software By The Kilo, with it&#8217;s well thought out and original storyline. The interaction between the techies and the goons was hysterical and a little creepy. Larry Ketchersid also [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review on SFSignal.com of Chadbourn&#8217;s World&#8217;s End</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My notes on Mark Chadbourn&#8217;s excellent first novel in his Age of Misrule trilogy, World&#8217;s End, has been published on SFSignal.com.
An excerpt:
There are almost as many end of world novels as there are authors (yes, guilty!) in both science fiction and fantasy. My last article on SFSignal talked about different types of technology changes that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lightning Thief - Movie vs. Book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The movie The Lightning Thief, has excellent special effects (Hades in the fire and looking like an old rock musician is well done) and tells the story of Percy Jackson, half human, half Olympian God. Several easily recognized actors play Olympian roles (Uma Thurman is enjoyable as Medusa, Pierce Brosnan with a half-horse body at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pirate of the Pacific (Doc Savage #19)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the fifth story originally published by Street and Smith. If I remember correctly, this is one of the first ones I purchased back in the late 60s or early 70s. My copy has my name scrawled in it, and the stamp of a Houston book shop on Long Point that is no longer [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Golden City by John Twelve Hawks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Golden City is the final book in an ambitious trilogy by John Twelve Hawks, mixing a Orwellian 1984 big brother &#8220;Vast Machine&#8221;, the many worlds theory, quantum computing and martial arts. Sounds right up my alley, right? The first novel in the series, The Traveler, was enjoyable, well-paced, an excellent setup; the second, The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Texas Driver&#8217;s License - where not to wait</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s just call this a public service announcement.
Like many, I am not a fan of waiting, nor the English perfected fine art of &#8220;queueing&#8221;. When I had to get my Driver&#8217;s License renewed in person, I could find no information on-line for which Harris County Driver&#8217;s License office had the shortest lines. I hope this [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Polar Treasure (Doc Savage #4)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the fourth story originally published by Street and Smith.
Lester Dent portrays a perplexed Doc Savage, unlike the other novels. Doc is several times surprised by events, which happens rarely.
In this novel, Victor Vail, a blind violin maestro, is saved from kidnapping by Doc (who incidentally wrote the piece Vail had just been performing). [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mandela + Rugby = Invictus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though lighter on the Rugby (disappointing for this former and now occasional rugby player) than on the subject of Mandela, Invictus is an entertaining movie covering Nelson Mandela&#8217;s backing and support of the 1995 South Africa Springboks rugby team, and their efforts in that years Rugby World Cup (the third most watched event in world [...]]]></description>

		<title>eBooks for Troops - Operation eBook Drop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Smashwords is a very well done eBook site, but (no offense to its creator  Mark Coker), the only reason I joined was to support Ed Patterson&#8217;s excellent program, Operation eBook Drop. I highly recommend it for all of my fellow authors and hope that my friends and family that are deployed (Vince, Ian, Chris, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Italy&#8217;s Sorrow: A Year of War 1944-1945 by James Holland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most histories of World War II focus on North Africa, then the Sicily 
and Italy invasions by the Allies. But after the fall of Rome a few days before D-Day, they focus on the Normandy invasions and the push through France to Germany. There was a lot of Italy left, and the Allies forces there [...]]]></description>
