Fat Mogul vs. Ranting
For those long time readers of the blog here, you may be surprised to find out that I have something of a tendency to rant at length about a variety of topics….almost daily. In fact, just last night (like most nights) my wife was subjected to a rant coming from …

Fat Mogul vs. The Coffee Shop Girl
It’s been a wild ten years. In fact, ten years ago today marks the beginning of a relationship that just doesn’t seem to want to end. I’m pretty happy with that. Although we had already spent over a week on the road together performing in the ill-fated Stuart Little, my …

Fat Mogul vs. Confidence
When I was a young man, you know, middle school aged and all of that, I was that ever-typical geek/nerd. You know the one. The one who hung out in a corner reading a book, mostly because whenever he interacted with the other schoolchildren, he found himself teased and mocked. …

Fat Mogul vs. Getting Old
Although I had an article on here not too long ago regarding the aging process, this past weekend found me revisiting the thought as I found myself doing things that I, as a younger person, would probably have cringed at myself for doing. You see, after a couple years of …

Fat Mogul vs. the Pseudonym
Believe me, I’m the first to realize that it’s stupid of me to be against pseudonyms. I mean, after all, almost every superhero ever goes by a moniker that’s not their own. Heck, most of them also hide behind masks in order to keep their deeds separate from their everyday …

Fat Mogul vs. The Shutdown
You may have noticed a bit of radio silence on the blog here for the past few days. Blame the government! Why? Who knows. But, it just so happens that as a way to celebrate the government shutdown, I decided to take some time off of work to catch …

Sneak Peek at THE AGORA FILES
Are you one of those people out there who can’t help but feel interested in reading my books, but just can’t get over the fact that superheroes just aren’t your thing? Or perhaps you, like many out there, just have a hard time believing that superheroes can work in a …
