Some of you will find your way here with the Web map I left at Spaceraven.blogspot.com. Others will find your way here through chance. Some random search will lock onto some phrase in this blog and then you’ll be here. Welcome.

You’ll find a little bit of everthing here.  Mostly, the purpose of the blog is to provide news about my writing and disucuss elements of genre theory. You’ll also find  some of the inner workings of life, the universe and everything at least as it pertains to my world.

The title, “From A Barbarous Land,” is Edgar Allan Poe’s way of describing the lands from which the crippled dwarf “Hop-Frog” came. As many know, I find “Hop-Frog” to be one of Poe’s masterpieces. The title also means something different to me but that will have to wait until I have more time.

So… look around. Not much here at the moment.
