Who is this guy?

You can call me Ray...no wait, that was someone else. Uncle Pete will suffice. I live on the Wet Coast of Canada (that isn't a spelling mistake there) and like most other reviewer types (I suspect), I began writing reviews because I have an opinion about most things. If you want to know more about me personally from reading the few scant reviews I have written thus far, well, that's just kind of creepy.

If for some perverse reason you like my style, you are more than welcome to visit the Swamp, where I hang out most of the time. There you will find many more reviews, along with fiction, poetry, and many other good things in the "little website that quickly became an out-of-hand literary magazine."

I also have a vested interest in making Creative Guy Publishing a huge, multi-national big brother-type publishing house, which will control everything you read or otherwise cerebrally ingest in the next few years. Er, I mean it would be nice to put out some quality books (such as the Amityville House of Pancakes or Funnybones -- see that snazzy picture up there?), and show people what can be accomplished in electronic media.

To that end, if there are any epinioners who enjoy eBooks, feel free to mail me and we can talk about review copies -- to be blunt, I'd love to hear what people think of the product, and a little word of mouth advertising can't hurt.

What does he review?

Books, mainly. The occasional movie review may pop up too. As for the type of books and movies you'll see me reviewing, most of them will be ones that I feel have been unjustly ignored, little gems that have been missed. (Read bargain bin.) But if I feel sufficiently strongly about a piece, good or bad, I may add my voice to the other opinions.

I am a literary guy, so I hope you'll understand that that's where my opinions are -- where I care enough to say something, positive or otherwise. I am also a culinary guy though, so in future, I may have a word or two to say about restaurants, and my opinions there will be from the point of view of someone who knows the dirty little secrets from the inside.

Thanks to cdm72 for showing me what epinions does, and for suggesting that I make an appearance -- if you have any complaints about my reviews, he's the guy to blame.
