Although I have retired from most reviewing after 15 years of doing it, I am keeping up with my regular independent relationships, such as with whole Vastariens, and with new single stories in anthologies and collections by writers whom I have reviewed before. Please keep me informed of the latter.

Who knows, I may one day come out of such retirement and start obsessively gestalt reviewing whole books again!
