CURRENTLY.... WRITING OUR FACES OFF
So, here's what's happening. Right now, we're working on the first draft of Quarantine: Book 2. I know, I know. How bold are we? Book 1 hasn't even come out yet! But believe it or not, these suckers take time. So, February has become Book 2 Month in the world of Lex Thomas. It's also become beard month (and pale month and six cups a day month and body odor month). But those are more of byproducts of the former.
Anyway, needless to say, we've got little time for much else at the moment. But come back to us in late March for a new look to the website and more news on Book 1. In the meantime, follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook (in the sidebar) for tangents and panic attacks as we procrastinate in our writing process.
Until then,
Lex Thomas

IF YOU'RE GOING TO PAINT ROBOCOP, YOU'VE GOT TO GO FOR IT
I mean, this artist gets his point across.
Robocop looks like he's 200 feet tall. His gun is coughing fire over your head. But he's cold. Unemotional. The bottom third of the painting is in flames, and the top half is red apocalypse sky.
The whole painting screams do not break Robocop's rules.
I don't know about you, but I'm convinced.

music for writing
Loving the work of Clint Mansell right now. He's scored most of Darren Aronofsky's movies and done some work with Kronos Quartet. Dark stuff, great for getting you in the zone.
