We've got to give triple-mad props to Samuel Montgomery-Blinn and his local SF/fantasy magazine Bull Spec for not only putting out a quality product, but for helping create and promote plenty of genre-related events in the Triangle. You're doing the lord's work, Sam! Help celebrate their second annual mini-literary festival with two Southern genre writers, South Carolina's T.C. McCarthy and Virginia epic fantasy author Michael J. Sullivan. The authors will appear at Flyleaf Books from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. —Zack Smith
