The dial on the hype machine goes up to eleven!

Here's a neat interview with me about Haikasoru's launch and some future plans, plus the differences between Japanese and English-language SF! Check it out.

The British magazine SFX is running reviews this month of All You Need Is Kill and The Lord of the Sands of Time in their print edition. Andrew Osmond writes in part:

Kill "is tremendously enjoyable, evoking not only Groundhog Day but also Ken Grimwood's classic book, Replay, and the classic anime The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

Lord has a "fabulous, borderline batty concept, with some wonderful wrinkles along the way" including references to the poet Robert Burns. "Now that's something we never expected to see in a Japanese SF novel."
