Becoming A Writer

      Even before I could write, I wanted to be a writer.

Space Cowboys was my very first story, and of course it was sci-fi. I think the main character was named Dodge?

My Stories

      I’ve got thirteen unpublished novels and a whole lot more in the outline stage just waiting to get out there!

Phoebe is a great second lead!The Flash: ignoring the star’s legal troubles and looking at the movie in a vacuum… this is a highly entertaining movie and a great ending to the DCU.  Michael Keaton as Old Batman is enough to make the movie a classic, but I also really enjoyed the alt-reality version of Man of Steel.  We also get Supergirl an...

Top Ten 2024 Movies

Can you imagine a year where we only get a single Marvel or DC or Star Wars film in total?  Well here we are.  The effects of the strikes strike home.  Looking at this line up, it’s definitely going to be a thin year for great blockbusters.  But I still found ten!
