Biff Mitchell in Projected Letters

Funky cool and super-sized talent Biff Mitchell has two stories up in the new issue of Projected Letters. This seems to be a good new literary 'zine, and Biff's stories up there are "The Nickel" and "Fishing the Moody River" from his wonderful short story collection Surfing in Catal Hyuk.

Bif is a remarkably talented writer with a diverse range. He's had three novels published, The War Bug, Team Player, and Heavy Load. All three mix humor with action -- and plenty of assorted weirdness. One thing's for sure, you've never read anything even remotely close to one of Biff's novels before. The mix of wit and literary skill -- and weirdness -- can summon correlations with Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore. But his plots are fresh and he goes to completely different places than either of those writers. Team Player is a hilarious and satirical look inside the IT industry. He also has a couple of novellas available as dollar downloads: Smoke Break and The Baton.

So here's a good chance to check out his style at Projected Letters and see if you aren't down for him. You won't be disappointed.
