NOTES FROM THE WEBMASTER
APRIL-MAY 2026
Apologies for the long delay. Much going on.
I’m staying current by uploading one or a few reviews at a time,
rather than the bulk uploads of yore, since the architecture of
AISLE SAY’s new design supports it. So please return periodically;
there should be new reviews appearing somewhat regularly.
You’ll know there’s new stuff when the featured picture to the right changes.
Meanwhile—the second edition of my book now out
Four new chapters, over 150 additional pages:
THE NOVELIZERS:
An Affectionate History of Media Adaptations and Originals,
Their Astonishing Authors—and the Art of the Craft
