Oddly, my parents crept into those reviews, too. How 'bout that. <br /><br />HELL'S CARTOGRAPHERS and anthologies from IF, TRIQUARTERLY and Missionary Work to challenge the reader...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-33775365025973434702013-10-04T14:27:10.445-04:002013-10-04T14:27:10.445-04:00He writes darker books under the name of Stark.

The others start out there, but they're really comic adventures as much as crime novels.<br /><br />There really are some great exchanges in Lemons.
