Not a Review: Peacemaker
The other day I finally got around to watching The Suicide Squad and really enjoyed it. I figured as good as it was I might as well check out Peacemaker. Here we are, three episodes in and it is getting a strong thumbs up. I love how it straddles that line by being somehow irreverent … More Not a Review: Peacemaker

“Who Pays For the Kids”
Once upon a time, what feels like a lifetime ago, I was working towards my masters degree. To make sense of what I was researching I read a lot. A lot a lot. Including lots on power and gender. It’s funny what sticks with you. I had to look up Nancy Folbre, but I remember … More “Who Pays For the Kids”

Still Editing
The other day I was editing and rewriting some stuff I’d written about a year ago. I realized something very important. If I stumbled on my books at random, I would really enjoy them. I’m not seeing I’m a great writer. Just implying it. But, seriously, so much of editing is just seeking out the … More Still Editing

The 21st…
A long while ago I decided that once a month I would hit up loyal readers for cash. I could say support, but lets be real. I mean cash. I also decided that the day I would stretch out my hand would be the 21st. Why? Because that is my birthday. Not today, in June. … More The 21st…

‘A Song in Darkness’ Excerpt w/ Lucas and Bramble
In my upcoming novel one of the themes is family and fatherhood. I wanted a scene where young Bramble hears a joke from the potential father figure, Lucas. I figured what better way than to steal a joke I’ve heard from my own dad countless of times. I hope you enjoy it. “Well, you know. … More ‘A Song in Darkness’ Excerpt w/ Lucas and Bramble

Grumpy Bird Review: Spider-Man: No Way Home

So, the big question is: Was Spider-Man’s third solo movie worth the … More Grumpy Bird Review: Spider-Man: No Way Home
