in which a funky new Cinderella rises from her ashes (sorry, haters: it's woke)
everything that happened at Flick Filosopher from Monday, August 30th, to Sunday, September 5th
I’m delighted to announce that Cultural Artifacts, my collection of science fiction, fantasy, and horror flash fiction, is now included with Kindle Unlimited, Amazon’s all-you-can-read buffet.
If you like the ethos of my film criticism, I think you may just like how I spin that into fiction.
If you’re not already a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, you can try it free:
If you read Cultural Artifacts (or any of my other books, which are also on KU), please do review it at Amazon, even if you didn’t like it. Reviews make a huge difference in how much notice a book gets on Amazon: it really does help with sales and Kindle Unlimited reads. (Yes, authors get paid when someone reads their work on KU.)
Thank you, and enjoy!

question of the weekend: what movie do you most associate with autumn?
Maybe it’s a film set in the autumn, or maybe there’s some other association for you. [reply at Flick Filosopher | reply at Substack | reply at Patreon]
Cinderella (2021) movie review: from the ashes… (#AmazonPrime)
Fairy tale goes jukebox musical with a feminist, gender-fluid spin. Throws irony and sarcasm at heterosexuality, patriarchy, even monarchy. Pretty darn fun, with a sweetly spunky Ella in Cabello. [read the review | streaming on Amazon Prime globally]
