Step Inside My Mind
J. Steven Young took some time out his busy day to take some time out of mine and then post the result for you to read. You'll discover why I hate vanity publishing, love commercial geneticists, and that I still drink vodka. That last one didn't shock you, did it? The fun part is that J. Steven assumes everyone in the universe has already read Book I of The Brittle Riders so he links to Book II. Just in case you're one of those people who may have missed my masterpiece, you can CLICK HERE to catch up. CLICK HERE TO READ THE INTERVIEW

More Stuff You Can Buy
If you toddle on over to Nerdanatix you can preview every debut issue for free before you commit. While I, obviously, want you to but my shit, there's a ton of great stuff up there and it's all worthy of your attention. Coming in March you can get issue #2 of, the critically acclaimed , Legends Parallel. The perfect series if you're one of those people who thinks that quantum physics isn't violent, or sexy, enough. Also coming in March is Svarožič, a prelude to the upcoming ICC Anthology . You think you have issues? Wait until you meet Albina. She takes the phrase "going through changes" to a whole new level.

Hard Copies from a Squishy Brain
Good news super humans, and that's all of you .... well, not you in the corner, you creep me out .... anyway, back on topic, you can now get Books I & II of The Brittle Riders delivered right to your home. Or the home of a sworn enemy. That's up to you. You can get all three on Kindle now as well. But, and this is the fun part, if you have a hard copy, and you're in Chicago, I will happily arrange to meet you and autograph your copies for free. Of course you can buy me vodka if you want. I like vodka. The Brittle Riders - Trilogy A, far future, Earth had already been visited by an alien race, called the Sominids, who came here for the express purpose of drinking and having sex with everyone they could. When one of their, infamous, parties resulted in the moon being cut in half, and killing everyone who happened to live there, they quietly left. Their encounter with the Sominids taught the human race many things, primarily that faster than light travel didn’t exist. Denied the stars the human race began to dwindle in number and terminate any space programs. A thousand years later a scientist named Edward Q. Rohta circumvented anti-AI laws, which had been on the books for millennia, by creating organic creatures to provide manual labor. Instead of dying after ten years, as promised in the company brochure, they would develop flu-like symptoms and go into hiding. Eventually, fed up with the mistreatment they suffered at the hands of humans, they rose up and killed every man, woman, and child on the planet. This the story of what happens next. The Brittle Riders, apocalypses are funny that way.

Spring is Coming!
With zero apologies to GoT fans I feel comfortable noting there are seasons other than winter. Since spring is the season that matters to me right now that's where I'm going to focus. My short story, Svarožič , has been turned into a introductory comic, with art by the amazing SBRii , which will appear in the upcoming ICC Anthology in Spring of 2018 ( see the tie in ?). It's also being turned into a full length comic book series which will be released via Nerdanatix . Svarožič is a wildly different comic from anything you have ever read. Or, to put it simply, get ready for the #transgenderserbianfiregod hash tag to take over an internet near you.

That Money Stuff (nonfiction)
One of the fun things I do is write for The World News Center . It gives me a chance to tackle real world issues ranging from science, to cinema, to stupid people who commit crimes. It's pretty wide ranging. And, BONUS, once a week I get to go on the radio with Ryan Gatenby at WBIG and be a guest on his show The Big Wake Up Call . Or, as it is lovingly known on Facebook, The World's Greatest Radio Show. While we do the best we can each week to cover all the fun topics the radio show is a finite event. So, while this week we'll be delving into the fun history of money, and how cryptocurrencies came to be, the odds are it will be a brief overview at best. So, for shits and giggles, you can CLICK HERE to read all about it. Bonus? There are links that lead to links so you can do a real deep dive into the global monetary system, if that's how you want to spend your day.

Moving on Up!
When Nerdanatix went live on January 1, 2018, less than 30% of the visitors actually read the comics that were available. Now, barely three weeks later, those numbers are reversed. And the number of visitors is growing. More importantly to me, it's okay - I'm selfish, Legends Parallel has remained in the top ten of their most requested comics since day one. So, if you'd like to read issue #1 for free and subscribe to get it, and may other cool comics, sent to your email, just CLICK HERE and have fun. Legends Parallel - Just in case quantum physics wasn't sexy, or violent, enough for you. Rated "M: for Mature.
