![]() ![]() I interviewed Kevin Sampsell and Kevin interviewed me in a piece for NW Book Lovers about how he was in an anthology that I edited ( City of Weird) and I was in an anthology he edited ( Portland Noir). Kevin Harden interviewed me about the book for The Portland Tribune. Here’s then-CEO MIriam Sontz recommending it on KGW TV.Ī review in The Columbia River Reader (which does not have an online archive) was reproduced in the author’s own blog here. In 2016 when it was first published, City of Weird was the top-selling book of the holidays at Powell’s Books. On the Kiggins’ big screen, graphic novelist Jonathan Hill’s mini comic “How Do You Say Gentrification in Martian?” was also given a radio show treatment, with lots of fitting sound effects. The stories: “Transformation” by Dan DeWeese, “The Fixer: a Serial–1–The Duchess” by Sean Davis, “A Code for Everything” by Andrew Stark, and "Letters to The Oregonian in the Year 30,000 BC" by Mark Russell. The Willamette Radio Workshop adapted four stories from City of Weird into radio plays, which were performed live, first at the beautiful Kiggins Theater in Vancouver, Washington, and then at the UFO Festival in McMinnville, Oregon. Portland Monthly included City of Weird in its October 2016 Pop Culture Hot List, saying, ".contributions range from tales of alien invasion to volcanic eruption, through murderous river creatures and otherworldly teenage rites of passage, all set right here in the Rose City. ![]() Kirkus Reviews included it in its " Savory Selection of Science Fiction and Fantasy Books to Read in October" (collections of short fiction come at the bottom under the sweet notation, "Here are some additional short fiction ‘snacks’ worth checking out between your longer novel reading"). All of the stories are very good, making this a fun and recommended collection.”įorest Avenue Press has the whole review here. Rosen, is a Christmas Krampus story of madness and indigence “Waiting for the Question,” by Art Edwards, is a gritty urban fantasia featuring Alex Trebek. “Transformation,” by Dan DeWeese, uses an alien invasion as critique of mindless conformity “Yay,” by Bradley K. Some are wonderfully pulpy, and some are more modern. Rosen, Nicole Rosevear, Mark Russell, Kevin Sampsell, Jason Squamata, Andrew Stark, Adam Strong, Suzy Vitello, Leslie What, Brigitte Winter, and Leni Zumas.īooklist said, "These stories range from highly speculative to more mainstream, from upbeat to cynical, silly to serious stories of love and loss, humor and pathos, from the bizarre to the poetic. Frayn Masters, Kevin Meyer, Karen Munro, Linda Rand, Brian Reid, Bradley K. The authors: Stevan Allred, Jonah Barrett, Doug Chase, Sean Davis, Susan DeFreitas, Rene Denfeld, Dan DeWeese, Art Edwards, Stefanie Freele, Jonathan Hill, Justin Hocking, Jeff Johnson, Leigh Anne Kranz, Kirsten Larson, B. Here then, are 25 of the most beautiful daughters produced by professional athletes.In 2016, I edited City of Weird, an anthology of stories about monsters, ghosts, robots, blood drinkers, man-eating octopuses, evil books, ravening slime molds from outer space, vodianoi ( look it up), and more, all centered around Portland, Oregon. So what we're saying is this list is far from comprehensive. ![]() It was a chore narrowing the list down to just 25 when there are some absolute stunners to choose from. Thanks to those who've sought out the spotlight, and social media stalkers for those who haven't, we've been exposed to some of the hottest daughters the world of sports has to offer. But thanks to the prevalence of social media, the spotlight has sought out some of the stunning daughters of current and former professional athletes. Though some of these women have sought out the spotlight, appearing in movies, television programs, modeling, and in one case – ahem – adult entertainment, many others don't. And can give you a whole different reason to root for somebody. But when athletes combine with say – actresses, supermodels, or even other athletes – the results can be downright amazing. ![]() You can look through the world of sports, football, baseball, hockey, basketball, auto racing, and soccer, and see athletes who've had children who have grown up to be stunners. And when they get together, get married, and have children, not very surprisingly, they have offspring who grow up to be pretty damn easy on the eyes. Models, actresses, singers – some of the most insanely gorgeous women seem to gravitate toward professional athletes. They, like rock stars and Hollywood A-Listers, seem to have their pick of some of the most beautiful women in the world. Look at some of the celebrity couples in and around Hollywood who have kids who grew up to be absolutely stunning in their own right. The basic math seems simple enough – pretty people breeding with prettier people usually produce some – well – pretty offspring. ![]()
