The Wise Man's Fear

Out now is issue #5 of Bull Spec, the Triangle's own magazine of speculative fiction. It features my review of Patrick Rothfuss' mostly excellent fantasy novel The Wise Man's Fear, the second in a popular trilogy that began with The Name of the Wind. You can order the issue online here, or pick it up on local newsstands. (For the record, I wrote this article about the magazine well before anyone ever considered that I might contribute to it.)

Mount Moriah Interview in the Indy

Not only is Mount Moriah is one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands in the Triangle, but as many locals know, Heather McEntire and Jenks Miller are just great people. I've admired their various projects for years, so it was a real pleasure to get the scoop on their long-awaited debut record for the Indy. They give a great and very honest interview. Check it out.
