One month on the dot, but here it is, the Pettengill review finished. Oof. Never meant that hiatus to grow so monstrously out of proportion, but hopefully it won't recur. I'm on to a film, which will hopefully go fast, and in the meantime, if any of you stuck around, I'm back and thanks for reading! :)

Ack, it's been two weeks with no word. Due to other things happening (apparently I have this "life" or something that keeps getting in the way of my reading time), the Pettengill review will be some time yet, still. I know that all two of you that pay any attention to my updates are very upset, but you must be strong.
In other news, the fabulous Sharon Cathcart dropped by to say hello and pimp her book! Everybody wave!

While the Pettengill review isn't ready to go yet, thanks to the kindness of composer Dave Reiser, there's an addendum added to the review of The Pinchpenny Phantom of the Opera. Check it out!

And the Wood review, tiny little thing that it is, is up! It's time to valiantly venture forth into the realm of self-published work again. Wish me luck! I'm excited to see what I might discover!

I apologize for the long delay; the Forsyth review is up.
Excellently, I can read a cute childrens' book now to cleanse my palate.

It's a fabulous week. The Forsyth review should, ideally, be done tomorrow night sometimes (it's a long one; this is my only defense). But I'm overflowing with new materials. I received the last of the Taylor trio yesterday, and the fabulous Oldphan over at the Philmography helped me find several elusive musical versions, much to my delight! And my crowning moment of the week was an email from Dave Reiser, composer of The Pinchpenny Phantom of the Opera, who had read my review and kindly offered to send me a copy of the score so I could hear the music as well as read the script.
I never cease to be amazed by the fabulous, kind people who help me out with this project. A huge thanks to all of you, and I'll be adding to the Reiser/Sharkey review as soon as I finish up my current flailing.
