Book Covers of Note, September 2025
Hey. I hope you're keeping safe and well. I'm posting this late on the last day of the month, but hopefully it was worth waiting for. I will let you get to the covers posthaste, but before I go, today (September 30th) is also Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, so I would like take a moment to acknowledge and remember the survivors of residential schools, their families and the kids who didn't come home.

Jamie Lee Curtis turned up again in The Bear. For two minutes. Did that thing with her face that perfectly communicates 30 years of bitterness and self loathing and was gone. It's amazing and I will never tire of it.

Book Covers of Note, June 2025
It's been another busy month here, so apologies for the slightly scattered post. It includes a few covers that I missed earlier in early in the year, and a few other bits and pieces. I hope everyone is doing OK. Here are the covers... Audition by Pip Adam; cover art by Leopold Adi Surya (Coffee House Press / June 2025)

Not sure why exactly, but one of the most pleasing sounds ever recorded is Gene Hackman saying “Miss Teschmacher!” youtu.be/dNnwoSFlB-4

There will be countless tributes, and rightly so. But Hackman was about the work. So today, simply put on The French Connection, or The Conversation, or Unforgiven, or Superman, or The Royal Tenenbaums et al. Remind yourself what screen presence truly means.
