Europe's carmakers hitting the breaks

Just back from a quick jaunt down to the Czech Republic to report a story on the state of Europe's carmakers during the economic downturn. It appears today in the Christian Science Monitor.

What's next? Upcoming pieces about the adoption of the euro and the prospects of a Czech EU presidency.

And I hit the road tomorrow for a month of travel in the US. It will be nice to be back after a fairly long absence this go around. I'll check in soon.

Sick in Kosovo, and considering the short fiction of Ian Fleming

Overall it's been a pretty slow month for publication news, owing largely to the fact that several pieces will be coming out in a few magazines either at the end of this month or during next. Much of the writing in November has been legal in nature -- I'm coming to the end of a string of assignments, which will be finished when I return some edits back to The American Lawyer this weekend.

But I do have some news to report.

Gadling recently asked some of its regular contributors to take on the subject of "catching the travel bug." My essay about getting sick in Kosovo appears this week. 

Also, just in time for the newest James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, my review of the complete James Bond short stories of Ian Fleming, recently re-issued by Penguin, appears in Pop Matters.
