Mahalo!

As they say in the land of Kona coffee--thanks to everyone who made "Mantids" happen, especially the fruitalicious Julia, Jerry and Jean Gold of Black Heron Press, major patron jimgermanbar, the Elliott Bay Book Co., Portland's Wordstock festival, and the online bloggers who kept my Google stats happening.

Bookfetish Reviews Mantids Twice

Bookfetish.org gives Mantids 2-1/2 stars--and reviews it twice:

"I am making a second attempt to review this title; I apparently had not imbibed enough coffee the first time around . . . . I still don’t know what to think of Mantids and it still is sort of funny and annoying . . . . I think it's because any kind of strange a guy can get is good strange, even if it’s literally strange."
