Rave review for Troll's Eye View

Yay! At the SF Site--a couple of excerpts and the entire Featured Review
...Not one of these stories is anything less than excellent.
...There's a subtle complexity, a questioning of traditional fairy tale morals, a subversion of the familiar, and taken as a whole, it gets the point across without overdoing it. So in that regard, Troll's-Eye View is a splendid anthology."

Prehistoric tools from France and California

When I was in Los Angeles for the Stokers, one of the people I visited and stayed with was Bruce McAllister and his lovely wife Amalie.

I had no idea until the visit that Bruce is interested in geology and archaeology so when he brought boxes of rocks and showed me how many of them were tools --tested by various means I was astounded and fascinated.

I was delighted when he offered me four of the tools. The three above are all from France.
He says of them: they are Upper Paleolithic Aurignacian flakes from a tool workshop in France, 20-30,000 BCE
