WRITING MOVING ALONG

BUG-EYED MONSTER

My two-part story, Bug-Eyed Monster is now out with Planetary Stories and getting some darn good reviews, and some rather odd comments about my name! Check this out:

Review of Bug Eyed Monsers:


"I just finished reading, Bug-Eyed Monsters, by Rob Shelsky. It really was like Edmond Hamilton's stories only, I think, it was better. The Bum saved the world, the girl was saved and the BEM's defeated. Very cool. Just finished one of Ed Hamilton's books, Crashing Suns, a collection of five novellas written in 1928, '29, and '30. That was a while back and so many things were not exactly correct with the knowledge we now have but still very entertaining. Hope to read more stories by Rob soon. Thanks for the stories. One question: Is Shelsky, Rob's real name? It sort of sounds like a fictitious, 'Skywalker'.

-- Johann T. Kuester"

Response from Editor to Reviewer:

"Rob Shelsky does indeed write under his real name. He's proven to be very popular around here, too, so we're hoping he'll continue to do so for a long time." -- Editor

So, that was fun!
