About Me

pirate_highresKeith West currently lives in west Texas, where by day he teaches impressionable young people his bad habits (of which there are many) and by night tells lies for fun and profit (mostly fun, very little profit).

He shares his home with his wife, his son (adopted from Kazakhstan), two dogs (adopted from the animal shelter), and more books than the shelves will hold. He will read almost anything left lying around.

This blog is part of his nefarious plan for world domination. You may refer to him as Future Potentate of the Solar System.

    Hi Keith, I am trying to verify that a water color I found at a thrift store is by C.L. Moore. If you have any copies of her illustrations in 1930’s Weird Tales or Fantasy, please send a copy. There is an illustration in Fantasy Magazine, April 1935-“Nmph of Darkness” hat is very similar. I am attempting to include an attachment of my watercolor. You may reach me at my email. Thanks,Kathy

    Hi, Keith,
    As a regular reader of Black Gate — until recently, that is — I’ve been enjoying your posts there. The ‘until recently’ refers to the recent blocking of Black Gate by all my browsers, including mobile iOS, due to the apparent misconfiguration of their site, now yielding the messages of ‘can’t find the server’ or ‘database not compatible.’ I don’t have a way to reach John, so I’ll ask you to mention this to him, to confirm that they’re not using Adobe’s Flash (which virtually all browsers will no longer load) or some other kind of code that is open to malware.

    Thanks for the help!

      Hi, Bill.

      I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my posts at Black Gate.

      I’ve been getting the same response when trying to access the site as you have. I emailed John, and the email immediately bounced. I’ve sent an email to someone else who might know what is going on. If I get a response, I’ll post anything I’ve at liberty to share.

      Thanks,

      Keith
