FAT CHANCES, PRODUCTION DIARY, AND APPLE DUMPLINGS...

The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again!
Coming 2014I've waited over 30 years to be part of the Apple Dumpling Gang. I was finally able to achieve this goal on the set of Fat Chance when we had Apple Dumplings for desert one night. The cast decided this would be the perfect opportunity for a photo op. You can see the photo above.

And yes, the apple dumplings were good too. Yum.

Also, Jim O'Rear has released the Fat Chance Production Diary - DAY 3. You can catch a quick glimpse of me on set in this one. Watch it here.

More updates to follow.

A TASTE OF TODAY'S WRITING...

We're having absolutely gorgeous weather here in Georgia today so I took the laptop outside to do some writing and enjoy the fresh air. As a nice change of pace, my neighbors did not decide to start cutting grass as soon as I was out there, as usually happens.

Here's a little taste of today's writing. This is for a licensed property so I've redacted the character's name until the publisher announces the name of the project. That's why it says (Our hero) where his name is used.

###

“What did Sayles want to talk to you about?”

“He thought someone had found him and was trying to kill him.”

“Did he say who?”

Miller’s eyes hardened as they focused on (Our hero), the man partly responsible for his life on the run. “Yes he did, Mr. (Hero). He knew exactly who was out to get him.”

“Who was it?”

“It was you!” Miller said through grit teeth.

(Our hero) couldn’t hide his shock. “Me? No. I didn’t kill him. It wasn’t me. What possible reason would I have to kill him?”

His courage bolstered by anger, Miller leaned forward until only inches separated the two men. “I might be more inclined to believe you if I hadn’t seen you standing over his dead body with my own two eyes.”

###
I hope you enjoyed that.More to come.

About Fight Card: Barefoot Bones:

Korea 1951.

Corporal James “Bones” Mason finds himself in the middle of a war zone. He is thrilled when his CO volunteers him for an inter-camp boxing tournament. The cease-fire is broken when a mortar attack hits interrupts his bout.

But that’s not where his story begins. “Barefoot Bones” Mason was a poor backwoods skinny kid, picked on by the larger boys, unable to fight back. All that changed the day he met Old Man Winters, a mysterious loner who teaches young Bones to defend himself.

Forced to leave behind everything he ever knew, teenage Bones hits the road, taking him from sweltering hot Georgia summers to freezing cold Chicago winters. Along the way, he has no problem finding trouble. But Bones knows how to handle trouble-- with his fists.

Can this skinny kid form the North Georgia Mountains survive the wilds of Korea so he can climb back into the ring one more time?

Fight Card: Barefoot Bones will be available in paperback soon.
Keep watching this space for more details.

HE'LL FIGHT FOR FREEDOM WHEREVER THERE'S TROUBLE...

Here's the GI Joe theme, sung live at "GI Joe: Celebrating Is Half the Battle panel at Dragon Con 2013 by the audience and panelists. So much fun. You can watch it below or here.

This was such a fun panel. We had a blast talking G.I. Joe.You can listen to the full panel here.

NEEDLESS THINGS PODCAST EPISODE 12: DRAGON CON 2013 GI JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO PANEL

Your panelists.Bobby Nash joined The Phantom Troublemaker, Gary Mitchel, and Noel Wood on the American Sci Fi Classics panel at Dragon Con to discuss G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. We had a great time with a fantastic audience. Now, you can hear the panel for yourself in episode 12 of the Needless Things Podcast, which you can find here.

YO, JOE!!!

Yo, Joe!From The Phantom Troublemaker’s show notes:
Finally, I was on a GI Joe panel, too. This is the one I was the most excited about because GI Joe was my big childhood thing. The cartoons, the comics, the toys. All of it. I don’t think there is another franchise that I have embraced as fully except for maybe Doctor Who (it’s a close race between Doctor Who, GI Joe, and Star Wars).

I had a truly elite special mission force for this one – Gary Mitchel, ESO’s own Award Winning Bobby Nash, and my pal Gnoll; a virtual repository of 80s information. We had a great time talking A Real
As audience sings G.I. Joe theme songAmerican Hero, but what made this panel so great was the audience. The room was absolutely packed – standing room only – and the audience was so good I’m actually a little worried it’s the best I’ll ever see. We had people in costumes and everybody was excited to participate. It was amazing.

And now, through the magic of computering, you too can take part! Listen now as we visit the Hall of Heroes to look back on America’s
