About

I used to run a couple of book sites (I Read Odd Books and I Read Everything) and a site devoted to conspiracy theory (Houdini’s Revenge). It became tiresome maintaining multiple sites, and it became even more tiresome to be limited to books and whacked theory when there are so many movies and songs to discuss, book stores to photograph and strange travels to be recorded. So I combined all my sites and interests into Odd Things Considered. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet.

I’m Anita, I live in a suburb of Austin, Texas, I maintain a large home library and I have way too many cats. I’m married, which will become apparent if you read here because Mr OTC comes up often in my entries. And I am female. Even though I make my sex/gender/orientation obvious in my writing, I am often addressed as if I am a man. That’s cool. I don’t mind that much anymore. Just sharing.

This site is again open to receiving review requests. I accept digital copies and PDFs at anita@oddthingsconsidered. You can also send me paper copies:

If you want to send me a recent release in the hopes I can discuss it promptly, please contact me at the above e-mail address first, especially if you are sending a paper copy in the mail. I hate the idea that a new author or fledgling press might send me books that take me a while to discuss because postage is expensive these days.

Be well, readers of the odd. Thanks for visiting my site!
