My Year as an Author

The title’s a misnomer.  I’ve been an author for much longer than a year.  If I were to be one of those accurate titlists, it would probably be something like My Year as a Published Author…but that just doesn’t have the same ring to it. But yes, no matter your …

Fat Mogul vs. Puddle Jumping

You know what I love most about being an adult?  The fact that I no longer have to  beg someone to drive through the puddles on the side of the road.  I say this with only the smallest amount of hyperbole as I quite absolutely love driving through puddles with …

Buddy Birthday Book Bargain Bash! or… Fat Mogul vs. Cheap Books!

Next Tuesday, as in April 1st, 2014, is a pretty huge deal.  It’s Buddy’s birthday! Yep, that’s right, one year ago on Tuesday I accidentally pressed the button that launched my debut novel, The Legend of Buddy Hero, into the electronic world from my computer’s womb-like disk drive…and I’m still …

Fat Mogul vs. Mountains and Mountains and Mountains of POOP!

I talked earlier this week about what happens when my son’s out of his pants…what about when he fills his pants? No, but honestly, this morning, after dealing with a son who woke up and immediately filled his pants and a daughter who missed the mark a bit when wiping …

Fat Mogul vs The Blog

To start this post off, I want to note that with just one day of being in existence, yesterday’s post is already the 12th most visited page on this site for all time.  That’s right, for all of the things I may talk about on this space, which is quite …

Fat Mogul vs. My Son’s Weiner

How’s that for an eye-catching blog post title? But the truth of the matter is, my son is quickly nearing three years old, and I’m already afraid of his penis…or, more correctly, his awareness of the thing.  You see, my son has rather recently become incredibly aware of his ability …

Book Review: Odium by Claire C Riley

Zombies! They’re everywhere! TV, movies, comic books….and, of course, novels!  In a world where one might think that monster books have been boiled down to just more of the same, it’s difficult to want to pick one up, at least without having someone vet it for you (says the guy working on …

Fat Mogul vs. Friday

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of Friday…I mean, you know, not nearly as much as I was as a kid, but we’re still on pretty good terms. Friday, in fact, is really all about hope, isn’t it?  I mean, it’s not like Friday is really all that different …

Fat Mogul vs. Cosplay

Right off the bat, I want to admit that I absolutely love cosplay.  I’ll spend long periods of time checking out photos from Comic Cons to see what those crazy nerds have come up with now, and finding myself wishing I had the time, money, and dedication, to do what …

Fat Mogul vs. Corporate Culture

I’m not too great at being an office drone, even if I’ve been doing it for nearly seven years now.  Something about working for some CEO whose office is the entire top floor of some giant building that is over an hour and a half away from where I work …
