Updates and Casual Vacancy Thoughts

The High King of Space Operas
While its still unconfirmed, I’m sure everyone who hasn’t been living in a black hole (HA! Sorry..) knows that J.J. Abrams will be the director for Star Wars Episode VII. Uh…Yay or Nay? Me?

Wow. Just…WOW. And here I thought it was going to be another news day dealing mainly with the horrible Sandy aftermath. Then, Disney decides to break the Internet by announcing that they just bought LucasFilm from its sole shareholder, George Lucas for about $4.05 billion (half of that in cash and the other half in [...]

Justice League Release Date
The Justice League movie has a release time-frame. Summer 2015. The same potential summer as Avengers 2. Someone’s a bit cocky aren’t they? Am I glad that DC/Warner Bros is finally getting more serious about their comic adaptations outside of Batman and Superman? Yes. Am I glad we are hearing about more firm plans? Of [...]

So the plan was to release my revised first novel and then the second novel this year. But, as expected in life, plans change. I’d like to explain the reason for the delay. First off, there have been some life changes in terms of my finding a new place and business at the day job. [...]
