Seems like it's going to be a snappy and entertaining "magic is real, and real dangerous" kind of story.

When Premee Mohamed released "The Annual Migration Of Clouds," she thought this cli-fi sci-fi novella was a stand-alone story.

Which is why, in this Q&A, she and I talk about the first of two "Cloud" sequels, "We Speak Through The Mountain."

Despite what the name implies, "Monster Jam Showdown" isn't a game in which sentient and evil jellies face off. No matter, this monster truck racing / trick doing game still looks like it might be fun. Here's the link to my preview.
