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.

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.

Pretty Pictures You Can Buy

If you head over to Nerdanatix right now you can buy Legends Parallel, both issues, and read Svarožič for free. Since that is so now seems like a good time to let you know that these two, critically acclaimed and popular, titles are about to be joined by three more.

You Wanna Piece of Me?

I hope you do. I am currently included in an amazing anthology called THE EDGAR ALLAN POE CHRONICLES . It's a sci-fi reimaging of the works of Edgar Allan Poe. My contribution, The Oval Portrait, is widely considered by my girlfriend to be the best part of the whole thing.
