Reviewers: Bob Blackman

I am a retired pastor, school administrator, writer, and computer tech. I currently utilize my time in four areas:

• Tutoring high school home school students (mostly science, math and writing.)
• Computer repair (primarily cleaning up viruses and parasites.)
• Writing (mostly short stories, although I have one POD published SF novel, The Commission)
• Teaching a regular Bible study and preaching whenever I get invited.

My nonfiction reading is fairly eclectic. My preference is science fiction, especially time travel, but I enjoy historical fiction, fantasy, and detective novels. My favorite authors are:

• Science Fiction: Lois McMaster Bujold, Isaac Asimov
• Science Fiction Time Travel: Connie Willis
• Fantasy: C.S. Lewis, G.R.R. Martin
• Historical Fiction: Stephen R. Lawhead
• Detective: J.A. Jance, Sue Grafton
• Mainstream: John Grishom, Nevil Shute
• Short Stories, Zenna Henderson, William Sydney Porter (O. Henry), Edgar Allen Poe

(Categories are somewhat arbitrary since most great writers span multiple genres.) You can learn more on my web site. I have reviews or comments about the following titles:

Asaro, Catherine

Irresistable Forces (New American Library, 2004)

Henderson, Zenna

Ingathering: The Complete People Stories (NESFA, 1995)
