That’s right. We managed to get an interview with Terry Pratchett for SFRevu this month. Emily Whitten, the Vice-Chair of the North American Discworld Convention 2009, actually interviewed him late last year and was kind enough to share it with us. We also have Drew Bittner’s interview with Mike Carey about his work on The […]
Tonight we watched Tuck Everlasting. Released in 2003 and starring Alexis Bledel, Jonathan Jackson, Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Scott Bairstow and directed by Jay Russell.

Members of the convention get to nominate and vote for the […]

We open with Octavia entertaining a friend in Calcutta, Lady Brierley has stopped in to see if the rumors of Octavia being left with little to no money is true. […]
Right up front, I’ll admit that I’m a Jane Austen fan and I love searching for those books that continue the saga of the people from Austen’s novels.
