FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF THE SUPERVILLAINY SAGA

Jane Doe is a weredeer, the least-threatening shapechanger species in the world. Blessed with the ability to turn furry at will and psychically read objects, Jane has done her best to live a normal life working as a waitress at the Deerlightful Diner. She has big dreams of escaping life in the supernatural-filled town of Bright Falls, Michigan,...

Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson vol. 1 review

    Frank Miller's Daredevil is one of the main contributing factors to the creation of the Dark Age of Comics which, hyperbole aside, was an attempt to bottle the lightning created by Miller and Alan Moore across multiple series. Frank Miller, however, took a character who was always just shy of a second-rate Spiderman and turned him into a character who has had a movie as well as television series with multiple spin offs. As a comic book historian as well, it also generated a...

West End Droids and East End Dames review

    The Easytown series by Brian Parker is one of my favorite cyberpunk series. Brian Parker has created a real winner in a story which chronicles the adventures of Zach Forest, homicide detective as he patrols the seedy beat of Easytown. The beat has made him hard and ruthless but he was always that way to begin with.

    Easytown is, essentially the resurrected Storyville of New Orleans and serves as the city's red light district. Except, instead of flesh-and-bl...

Iron Fist Season One review

    I'm a big fan of Iron Fist and I'm going to make the very hipster-esque quote of the fact I was a fan of Iron Fist before he was cool. I may have only read him in The Essential Iron Fist but it's not like there's actually much of a character between his Heroes for Hire days to when Ed Brubaker re-imagined him for an extremely good tournament arc. Who is Iron Fist? Iron Fist is basically Batman Begins Batman or Arrowverse Green Arrow with the benefit of actually possessing s...

Jessica Jones Season One review

    Jessica Jones is a character I have a familiarity with before the television series back when it was called Alias and just picked a kind of atrocious bit of timing. Really, because Jennifer Garner would have been a much better Jessica Jones than Elektra. Be that as it may, Krysten Ritter does an excellent job bringing her interpretation of the character to life even if she's not quite the same character as the one in the comics. I have some issues with the series, overall,...

Daredevil Season 2 review

    Yeah, I know, this is like a year too late but the benefit of Netflix is you can catch up any time you want. I also have an aversion to doing reviews of really good popular programming because, honestly, what's the point? I mean, basically everyone knows Daredevil was some of the best programming Netflix did and it's not like I was going to bring in a whole new audience.

    This is sad, too, because I love Daredevil. I also love Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and...

Life is Strange review

    I love Life is Strange. It is a game which I will rank as one of my all-time favorite video games while simultaneously saying it's ending is about as bad as Mass Effect 3's. This is one of those beautiful Top Gun-esque jets which took to the air, did some amazing stunts, and then crashed at the very end. Nevertheless, it is a video game which has the potential to change interactive storytelling as a whole and elevate the medium. You know, if they can understand how to end t...

Cover for AN AMERICAN WEREDEER IN MICHIGAN!

I have the cover for AN AMERICAN WEREDEER IN MICHIGAN available now. It's the second novel cover for the BRIGHT FALLS MYSTERIES which will start with my upcoming book, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREDEER.

The books start when Jane is about eighteen-years old and follow her as she goes on a variety of adventures in a horror-filled world where the supernatural is public. I went for a Sookie Stackhouse feel but ended up being Buffy meets Patricia Briggs instead. Either that or just the urban fantasy versio...

STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON out on audiobook

Hey folks,

I have great news and that's the audiobook for STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON, my humorous vampire novel, is out as of today. I hope people will pick it up and give it a try. It's the first book of my two series (the other being the BRIGHT FALLS MYSTERIES) set in my UNMASQUED WORLD setting. That's a world where vampires, shapechangers, and other creatures have come out in public just in time to deal with an economically depressed and hostile public.



Peter Stone is a poor, black vampire who i...
