on Homeless Man Shot to Death by Portland Police
Every time I hear about another poor soul in pain gunned down because they were carrying a craft knife or "looked as if they were going for a weapon," it makes me wonder. Other cities don't seem to have an abundance of cases similar to these. What makes this happen so often in Portland? Is it something in the training of the officers, or a larger population of disturbed individuals? I have a friend who shrugs and says "Oh, those trigger happy Portland cops just killed another one." That's a sad commentary, whether the situations match the perception or not.

on Northwest Passages: Cherie Priest
I thought Boneshaker was a fun read, and I too am hoping you will see fit to return to this version of Seattle for more adventures. It doesn't have to be a continuation of the story line for me..it's more about the setting and the different communities that live there.
One thing that I got out of Boneshaker was it has a kind of linear quest-like feel that would make a really good screenplay. Is there hope that we might see a Boneshaker film?
