I’d thought about writing something on this topic, but hadn’t really figured out what I wanted to say, when I found this article on Numbers on Teen Pregnancy as a Freakonomics NY Times Opinion piece (here’s the Freakonomincs NY Times blog). I found the statistics on teen pregnancies interesting: High teen pregnancy rates remain a […]
Not much to say. The zines went live yesterday. So if you go to SFRevu or Gumshoe Review, you’ll find the new September issues are now up and live. This month SFRevu has an interview with Joe Abercrombie, the author of The Last Argument of Kings. In Gumshoe, we’ve got an interview with Sheila Lowe, […]
