Jason M. Waltz is the founder and sole operator of RBE. A passion for heroic adventure fantasy drove him from comfortably reading it to sometimes writing it to occasionally reviewing it to carefully editing it to enthusiastically publishing it. Jason believes two things about the state of genre fiction: there will soon be a resurgence in the popularity of short fiction and in the popularity of heroic fantasy adventure, to include Sword & Sorcery. Jason plans for RBE to be a driving force in both.

    Oohhhhhhh……nice. ^_^
    Love him. (the actor–name escapes me at the moment)

    Great! I just happen to be going through a big fat Solomon Kane book right now.

    Kate, the actor is James Purefoy. I met him along with Director Michael J. Bassett and Producer Paul Berrow after its premiere showing at the Toronto International Film Festival. Even managed to have my picture taken with them (if you have a Facebook account…). Really good people.

    I posted a review on the Conan.com forums that has garnered some expected responses. I hope to post it to my website after I finish updating it, and may put it on Facebook, too.

    What was the movie like? In a nutshell, it’s the best S&S based movie I have seen. But it’s not true to Howard’s vision of Kane, something Bassett freely admits. However, that’s all being disussed at the Conan forums :) .

    Thanks Bruce.

    And for all you readers who aren’t on the REH forums at conan.com, here’s a link to the thread Bruce’s review is on (his review is dated 9/22/09 and appears on page 5) http://www.conan.com/invboard/index.php?showtopic=7401&st=80. Oh, and Bruce’s handle is ‘Crom’s Justiciar’
