About MacEwan

I am
Valerie MacEwan, Publisher and Editor of The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature and blogger supreme-oh extravaganza grand ruler of the universe.

The term “River of Strange” is original, coined by writer-friend Phoebe Kate Foster and me years ago. Centuries ago in Internet years. The River of Strange is the title of our short story collaboration. Some of the posts on this blog are paid for by advertising programs such as PayPerPost and SponsoredReviews.com. You will know many of these posts by their category: Sponsored Posts and the ads will only be located in the middle column of the blog. But cravat empire - SponsoredReviews advertisers do not like to be placed in sponsored “categories” so sometimes their ads will be in the middle column under the category “Extras”.

This is not a monetized blog, in the true sense of the term. I just write the ads for some spare change for trips, like the forthcoming one to Costa Rica. My writing an advertisement does not mean I personally endorse the product. It simply means I wrote an advertisement.
