Well, The Meep Sheep has been out for a couple months now, and This Beautiful Darkness has been out for a year so it’s time for an update me thinks. Basically, so far so good. The Summer has been good so far. The first shows I did – Flint Comix Con, and Motorcity Nighteres were… Continue reading Summer Update…

Of Avatars and Saving the World
As both a writer and a movie nerd the idea of writing an epic story has always been attractive. It’s the scale of the thing, the scope of it that is so appealing. That you can create not a place but a world, and you can populate that world in whatever manner you like… Continue reading Of Avatars and Saving the World
The Book Bizarre That Was…
I have been putting together and helping to put together events for a few years now and you never, ever get over the sheer shock and joy of seeing an event come together successfully. And sure, part of that is the pure ego of HA, WE DID IT but just as big is the fact… Continue reading The Book Bizarre That Was…
Requiescat In Pace
There are two things in life I don't think are ever possible - You can never repay the debts owed to the people who you love and who are there for you in life. No matter how long you have, no matter how many words you use, you can never tell the people that you… Continue reading Requiescat In Pace

It is here where I put together my second and third book, where I got published in Bare Bone and in Cthulhu Sex, and it is… Continue reading Guerilla Art Show/The Art of 625
Buddha Boy – review
So I am onto the second of writer Kathe Koja’s Young Adult novels and man, she has totally opened my eyes to the category as far as its potential. I realize that people like S.E. Hinton were writing books that were slotted to this age range but to see what Koja is doing with her… Continue reading Buddha Boy – review
straydog – a review
If there is something good you can say about a book written with young adults in mind it is to say that they got their audience right and played to them directly, treating them as the young adults that they are. Too often the YA market is filled with pandering morality tales or books that… Continue reading straydog – a review
"What If…"
Years and years and years ago Marvel Comics asked that very question and from that question were born dozens of universes that filled what they consider the 'multi-verse', or basically a series of worlds with alternate histories to the one which Marvel has laid forth in their comics. What If allowed Marvel and its writers… Continue reading "What If…"
