in his review of “Zero
Gravity”:
Will
Morton’s “Glacier Castle” takes us to a world of eternal ice and
snow--and one woman’s obsessive plan to save a doomed colony. In a story
reminiscent of Moby Dick, Morton explores the fine line between genius and
madness and the human drive to survive despite impossible odds.
A good read.

Quantum Visions Fantasy Story: “Honey from Rube Engill’s Apiary” The
Writers’ Orbit, as we affectionately call our group, is a fluctuating
membership of talented writers. Shauna Roberts attended Clarion in 2009
and then published her first novel (a second novel is coming in 2013.)
Will Morton has published many short stories and is a stand-up comedian.
Camden Parish, a soft-spoken man, finished writing his cozy mystery
while in our group. Chrome Oxide regales us with tales of the surf and
punk music scene. Robin Walton shares his home for the meetings; thank
you, Robin! David R. Moore is a brilliant scientist as well as good
critique-giver, a rare talent. Timothy Cassidy-Curtis, a retired
military man, rocks the military science fiction genre. We lost our Jim
Young in June 2012 just as he was finalizing the sale of a trilogy, a
far-future multidimensional trek through folded space. |
