Another one of those stupid internet quizzes. I do enjoy Edward Gorey, though. What will be your Edward Gorey death?

Novel by Philip K. Dick Gets an Ending
Friday, February 20, 2009
In this NY Times article, it is revealed that Tessa, P.K. Dick’s last wife, has finished the novel The Owl in Daylight that Dick was working on when he moved to the next level due to a massive stroke induced by alien mind control rays mixed with amphetamines. Interesting that she could not find a […]
The Long Tail
Friday, February 20, 2009
Here is a Bruce Sterling interview (in English and Italian) about The Long Tail. “In the future a million writers with one reader each will be more important than a publication with 10 writers and a million readers.“ I think that is obvious. Today the value of one share of stock in the New York […]
Dreams With Sharp Teeth
Thursday, February 19, 2009
Harlan Ellison is a total asshole. He’s also a good writer. I’ve got the first part down pat, although I don’t think I’ll ever be a good writer. See a talk by Ellison and the trailers to this movie about him: Dreams With Sharp Teeth
Free Public Domain Movies
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
The link is to an interesting blog that finds public domain movies. There are hundreds of movies that did not have their copyright renewed and went into public domain before the current Mickey Mouse copyright act went into effect. Most of these are “B” movies or were filmed at studios that went out of business […]

Last year F&SF had a giveaway to bloggers of a free magazine. I finally got to it and the review is at: Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine, July 2008
Jimmy Rogers
Thursday, February 12, 2009
I like this guy. I read his book (about his motorcycle trip around the world). I think he is very smart, but I don’t always like his opinions (or else I don’t understand them). This is great rant about the banking system from 2/11/2009. The key here is that Jim is shorting American Stocks, which […]
Buy the Book!
I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
Playing "Help-Me" In the Style of Sonny Boy Williamson II: A step by step, note for note analysis of some of Sonny Boy's Signature Riffs
I also write Science Fiction, so you can sample some of my best stories. Also available in Kindle format.

Keith Graham's CThreePO.com Links
I started reading Science Fiction in the 1950s. I started Writing SF in the 1960s. Then, I had a life.
Now I am retired, raising chickens and keeping bees. I am still an avid reader and I have sold about 70 stories in the last
20 years.
I have been collecting information about writing Science Fiction for many years now. Social media has replaced the Blog and
large dedicated websites, so the pages here are mostly static. I update them from time to time.
Enjoy!
