There’s a new review of The Amadeus Net available, and it’s another nice one. It was reviewed by Janet Paszkowski at Flash Me Magazine, which published one of my flash fictions a few years ago. Here’s a snip:

“Strange? Yes. Implausible? No, because Rayner successfully crafts an inherent logic into his surreal story with a collage of plausible first-person narratives, which includes the first-person ‘thinking machine’ narrative of the actual setting of the story—the post-apocalyptic, utopian city-state of Ipolis, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

“Furthermore, Rayner’s flair for sustained humor, and compelling story telling enhances the preposterous premises, characterizations, and worthy themes of art, love, and the search for self-identity and sex in the day-to-day existence of an eclectic cast of characters making their way through the end of the world.”

You can find the whole thing at Flash Me, but you’ll have to sign up for a subscription to get it — at $3/issue or $8/year (four issues), a great value.

Discerning primates will appreciate some of the things they will be able to find at this website. Less discriminating monkeys may want to print off a few pages, and line their cages with it.

Most of this site is about my fiction, some of which you will be able to read in that section; of course, you can read an excerpt from my first novel, The Amadeus Net, published by ENC Press. (You can buy it online at Alibris (anywhere), ENC PRESS (US only), or from the Ontario Library Association store. (Canada only). You can learn more about the futuristic satire here.

You’ll also find blog (pronounced blaaahhhg) here. It is called The Skwib, and it has eaten at least one novel’s worth of words, and has such categories as “Monkeys!” and “Satire & Parody”.

I will also post news right here when it is available, and it will be archived in that section.

If you are really interested, I have some info about myself on the site. This is the section to head for if you’re interested in pirates (and monkeys).

Eventually, there will be cake. Arrghh! (And eeek.)
