What Sherry is saying on ...
- OCNJ map--maybe
- Okay, I'm a total sucker for "Alien". Or well, for the first two films in the series anyway. (In my world, Alien films three through # whatever don't exist.) Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" is presumably a prequel to the Alien saga, so naturally, I'm in! Uh... Except to the extent that I'm out, i.e. where the NYT article about the film wanders off into the whole "Chariots of Fire" (God/the gods are just aliens) farce. If that "theory" is prominent in the "Prometheus" plot, I may want to rip out someone's liver for wrecking a promising film. Due out June 8.
‘Prometheus’ Returns Ridley Scott to Outer Space
Ridley Scott, the director of “Alien,” takes a legend into the future in his new film “Prometheus.” - Need a laugh? Take a detour to "Plain Language: How to Write Good" where you will find rival advice from Frank L. Visco & William Safire.

Any fears that Seabird and its sequels would end up mimicking The Chronicles of Narnia are dispelled with this first volume of Earthbow, by Sherry Thompson. ... I admit, when I first dug into this book, I was expecting Seabird II, and it threw me a bit when I didn't get that. But once past that realization, I found a greatly expanded and darker view of Narenta and the lands in this world. The characters are well drawn, complete with their own histories, flaws, and struggles. The silent enemy working behind the scenes, and those he controls, provide definite and constant tension as the story progresses. Earthbow, while in the Narenta world, is its own book. The feel is more like Lord of the Rings. Not so much in the plot, but in the scope of the story arc. The book takes on a more epic ambiance than Seabird contained. ... I highly recommend this book. And though I rarely do this, I'll give it five out of five stars.”

About Sherry
I was born on an October 1 at about 2:30 in the afternoon in Baltimore MD. I've lived in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and finally Delaware, where I still make my home.
Everyone in my family read voraciously. For my father, it was mysteries and suspense....
