Attention CommuterLit Contributors

It’s time to clean up the files on the site. To make way for further postings, our first three years of posts (2010-2012) have been deleted. That means some of the links on contributor pages are defunct. Please be patient as we delete those links over the next few months.

Latest Book Review Podcast: “Leviathan” by Scott Westerfeld

On air with Nancy and Nate

CommuterLit editor and publisher Nancy Kay Clark (left) has a book review podcast with her young adult son Nathan Bennet (right), called with radical clarity, Mom and Son Book Reviews. As they are both great fans of sci fi and speculative fiction, they concentrate on reviewing novels, short-story collections and graphic novels, both new and not-so-new, in those genres.

Check out the latest podcast.
