- Interviews & Profiles:
- @Tor.com: SF Signal Irregular John Ottinger III interviews Kevin J. Anderson, author of The Edge of the World, the first book in the new Terra Incognita series.
- @SciFi: Duncan Jones, director of the upcoming film Moon. Is it me, or is the “famous son” tag completely unnecessary and even short changing the Director? And while we’re on the topic, are we done calling Joe Hill the son of Stephen King? Hasn’t he earned his identity own already?
- @Omnivoracious: James O’Neal.
