A Talk About The Arts

I gave a talk this week to the kids at the high school I used to attend, Delphi Academy of Los Angeles. It was about an hour and a half event. I spoke, along with co-author Z. C. Bolger. There was one segment of the talk in particular that I thought would be really interesting, [...]

Midrealm Book Signing

So, for anybody who doesn’t know, Midrealm came out a couple of weeks ago. Leading up to the official release, we had the book available for pre-orders. The pre-order copies were signed by Z. C. Bolger and myself, and we also offered pre-order customers all kinds of incredible goodies. Anyway, when the books were ready, it [...]

How Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is Going to Change Storytelling

I watched the premiere of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. last night. I watched it live. I suffered through commercials. I haven’t done that in more years than I can remember.

Dexter is Over

Dexter is over. I wasn’t a huge watcher of the show (I was a svelte, slender watcher of the show). I caught sporadic episodes throughout all the seasons, mostly because my roommates were watching it religiously. And yet I couldn’t stop myself from watching most of the final season, and especially the finale (tonight). I [...]

Lelivro and the Small Pond

I found out yesterday about a site called lelivro.com. They’re a new online book retailer. You can upload your book as a .mobi, an .epub or a .pdf, and they’ll sell it for you. Just like Amazon, Kobo, Nook or Smashwords. Two things about lelivro pulled me in: You get 85% of every sale–REGARDLESS OF [...]

Daddy, Where Do Books Come From?

“How do you think up the ideas for your books?” It’s got to be the most common question every writer is asked. It’s certainly the question I’m asked the most, and let’s just assume for a moment that every writer in the world is just like me, because that will help me feel less alone. [...]
