I sat for twenty minutes at a red light on the way home from work, which is an anomaly. No crash or emergency -- just one of those instances when events congeal and time slows for no readily apparent reason.

A heavily edited version of an article I wrote about the Face on Mars appears in the new edition of Mysteries Magazine. A lot of newsstands actually carry this, so check your "special interest" section. The article doesn't have anything in it readers of my website don't already know, and I'm not exactly happy with the editor's hurried treatment -- I guess I'm used to having a book-sized canvas to work with -- but it's better than nothing.

I also have a couple book reviews included. To my annoyance, a self-published book was included among the books reviewed. Its "review" was written by none other than a spokesperson for the vanity-press in question, so I think it's a safe bet it's not too helpful or objective. Plus the author is a complete nutcase; I had to block his email addresses more than once before he stopped bothering me with ludicrous proposals to buy his stuff.
