If you want in on the ground floor of something amazing, and want to support indy comics and all its related people, then this should be on your short list of things to support. A message from Pam Harrison , founder of ICC Magazine : There are very, very few venues that promote Indie comic artists. Whether you pledge $1, $5, $10, your reward for supporting the ICC Magazine Kickstarter will be far above what you expect. Join us and make this project a success. This Kickstarter is for YOU.

Super Awesome Epic Stuff!

So, this is fun. The 3rd edition of The Brittle Riders is being prepped for fall release. Since this one will be in brick and mortar stores - just in time for the holidays! - we're putting special effort into it. Spiffing up my bio, killing angry commas, and essentially taking the whole thing to the next level. Bonus, talks are now in progress to wrap the whole thing into one book and release that as well. But, that's a bit down the road. Apocalypses truly are funny this way. Plus, and this is also awesome, ICC Magazine , a magazine that has been silly enough to keep me around as a writer, not a pet, has been picked up for national distribution by Diamond Distribution. So that's pretty fucking cool.

The History of Bill McSciFi

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, it was a dark and stormy night. This is not that story. Nope, this is the story of how I wrote a book and earned a nickname. CLICK HERE

Busy Brain

You can get the complete Brittle Riders trilogy on Amazon and Nerdanatix has all my graphic titles. As my granny used to say "You can spend money now or pay it later." Yeah, don't worry, it never made sense to me either.

The History of Legends Parallel

Legends Parallel has been garnering fans every time people get a chance to see what it's all about. Now, for the first time, we peel back the curtain and talk about how it came to be. Check out Writers Co-Op for the 411.

Pride in the Name of Comics

I'm proud to be associated with a several comics that allow me to tell completely gonzo stories and celebrate diversity in all its forms. I hope that everyone has a safe, and happy, Pride Month while remembering to champion equality for all throughout the rest of the year. And next year, and the year after that, and so on. Make sure to drop by Nerdanatix to see all that I'm doing and get introduced to stable of amazing talents who love to bend people's brains.

So Hot It's Cool

When you head over to the Nerdanatix website, and you should do so immediately, you'll discover that Legends Parallel issues 1 & 2 are rated 1st and 2nd, respectively, in the sci-fi / supernatural categories. There's a reason for that. But you won't know why until you read issue #1 for free at the link.

Busy Bill McSciFi

Whether you base your information on my real name or my Bill McSciFi nom-de-plum, I've been a busy little writer this year. I've got two releases out on Nerdanatix , two more in development, and another release, for a different company, running through the inking phase. Legends Parallel - the series for those of you who think quantum physics isn't violent or sexy enough - continues to earn rave reviews, Svarožič - the story of a woman trapped inside a man and a god trapped inside a human - debuted on Nerdanatix' top 5 most requested releases and continues to impress. You can click her name to read the 8 page character introduction for free. Pestilent - the dystopian futurescape wherein humans harvest the essence of dead aliens to increase their life spans - and Bob: Sins of the Son - the son of Death wants to be a superhero, what could possibly go wrong?- are both in the hands of artists. Hybrid Zero: Jungle Grrl - the story of the galaxy's oddest amusement park built on a simulacrum of Earth - is an extension of the Hybrid Zero universe created by Cyril Brown. Cyril's, mostly NSFW, work has been featured in numerous publications and he's now set to pop on an international scale. Plus, of course there's more, my trilogy, The Brittle Riders , has been released as three individual print releases and a complete trilogy digitally. Think of it this way, if David Brin came off a three day tequila bender and dropped acid, he would have written The Brittle Riders. Essentially, after the death of every man, woman, and child on the planet things get a little weird. Apocalypses are funny that way. I now return you to your regularly scheduled internet.
