Fairy Tales and Growing Up

    We adults are a funny lot, ya know? As kids all we want is to grow up to be able to do whatever the heck it is that we want to do, dreaming of that distant day when we can be our own bosses yet, as soon as we are grown up, we act… Continue reading Fairy Tales and Growing Up

Winding Up a Busy Season…

Phew, it's been a bit of a whirlwind since the publication of The Meep Sheep a few months ago and I am still going strong. The thing that wears you out with the book process is the promotion, as I have said before, but it's also some of the most fun you have. Getting the… Continue reading Winding Up a Busy Season…

Summer Update…

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…

The Players and the Play…

In my newest book The Meep Sheep the story focuses on four people who are brought together in the hopes of pulling their Kingdom from the brink of forever darkness. The theme of darkness is as old as Mankind itself and is familiar card for those who have ever done any reading. The idea of… Continue reading The Players and the Play…

Look around here and you'll find my movie reviews, some stories, some art, and other fun stuff. To the right there are the links to my art and books, and where… Continue reading Well, How Do Ya Do?

Together We’re Strong

    A funny thing happens when you write a story, or a book – the work has just begun. If you are lucky enough to have a publisher then they will help with the work of publicizing the book, shipping it, getting it reviewed, getting you signings, and generally just making sure the thing has… Continue reading Together We’re Strong

MEEP SHEEP – First Proof In Hand

    So here is me holding the first proof of The Meep Sheep in hand and it’s a dream come true. I have been dreaming of Meep Sheep and this world for the better part of a decade and to have the book in hand, even the first proof of it, is pretty amazing. This… Continue reading MEEP SHEEP – First Proof In Hand

The REAL THE MEEP SHEEP Cover And Other News…

    Oh April Fool’s Day, I can love you so sometimes. I took this day to play a little trick on you, dear friend, and for that I am…heck, I am not sorry in the least. My fear though is that mine was a joke that either no one got, or didn’t care about. What… Continue reading The REAL THE MEEP SHEEP Cover And Other News…

It Has Begun, This Book Layout…

    So as of Sunday The Meep Sheep is being laid out, thanks to my girlfriend. She is a wiz with In Design so she is handling the layout of this book as she did the last one and so far so good. I drive her nutty about stuff (really, I drive everyone nuts so… Continue reading It Has Begun, This Book Layout…

But What Is the Meep Sheep About?

I have been teasing this for a while and it's time to let you know what the book is about (if you didn't already). The Meep Sheep has been bubbling in my head for a while now and when that happens you lose sight of the overall picture. Especially when you have several stories involved.… Continue reading But What Is the Meep Sheep About?

But What WERE You Gonna Call It?

I dunno if it is ever super-easy to title something you are releasing to the public but with a bigger work, like a book in my case, the whole AHH, WHAT DO I CALL IT thing gets a little bigger. With The Meep Sheep, the new book, I needed a title, as I said before,… Continue reading But What WERE You Gonna Call It?

And the Title of the New Book Is…

We have come to it, the announcement of the title of the new book. Not necessarily a big deal but, for me, it's another big step forward. Another piece of the puzzle to reveal. It's funny because usually I know when I start working on something what it will be called but with the two… Continue reading And the Title of the New Book Is…

Fare Well – a story

As a Christmas gift, I wrote this story for my girlfriend Amanda. This is part of the same story cycle/mythos as the Meep Sheep. Fare Well Amanda wiped away the tears as her carriage left the city of the pandas and headed her into the snow and to a home she hadn’t been to in… Continue reading Fare Well – a story
