Why Word Definitions Matter
A good friend of mine and I recently got into a spirited debate over why modders now charge for their work. My friend thinks it’s bad practice to charge, in part, because charging for the mods causes intellectual property (IP) problems. I disagree. The IP problems already exist with free mods, but at least now […]

Star Wars a’ la YouTube
The Star Wars story format is broad. Besides the movies, cartoons and television productions also continue to be syndicated. Comic books and novels publish and distribute all over the world. A radio drama, produced in 1981, aired–oh, you didn’t know? The original Star Wars trilogy radio adaptation was produced in 1981, 1983, and 1996. National […]

Closer to Completion…
A second manuscript–soon to be Shadow Book Two–is coming closer to completion. Should I squeeze in one more story? The stories within this book are different when you compare them to Bedtime for Seneca, an unofficial Shadow Book (1).

Bedtime for Seneca Review
Bedtime for Seneca: Five Tragic Tales by M. Duda Michael\Duda reviewed by John E. Roper “Chrissy rocked in her seat and whimpered. Some people whispered. Andrew stared at himself, two rows of seats back, holding a comic book, and hunkered down, as if hiding in the chair.” Most people love a happy ending. Although tales […]
Bedtime for Seneca’s Philosophy
Now that Bedtime for Seneca is in print, I’ll point out the book’s artistic styling–Realism. Avoiding the more traditional styling conventions of plot and character arc, I strove to write stories that appear more real. By real, I mean to show a Reader an uglier side of life, a modern sort of universal realism. Things […]
The Branches of Time by Luca Rossi
The Branches of Time is a fantasy rippling in a storming sexual undertow. Magical mayhem and physical conflict crash down on the main characters from the very start of the book.
