From Utah, Day 1 and 2
Yes, I know. I did it again. August has been one of those ridiculous months, but that is no excuse to not post at all. My fault again. I’ve been churning out a few more shorts, predominantly Star Brigade. Its fun to really explore moments in these characters’ arcs that helped define who they are. [...]

NEWS…and reviews
Its been awhile…AGAIN. I KNOW. I suck. Anyhow, I do have some good news on the horizon. I finished the second draft of my second Star Brigade book around the middle of the month and am now having it read by a beta reader to get some more feedback. After finishing the second round edits, [...]

Film Review: The Amazing Spider-Man
Happy 4th of July! So I just saw the reboot that apparently no one wanted. Seriously. When I perused through fan sites and blogs during the months leading up to The Amazing Spider-Man’s premiere I saw nothing but disinterest or annoyance or confusion. It’s too soon for a reboot…why are they doing another origin story….not [...]

Star Brigade Update & Other Stuff
Its almost time. I’m just a few chapters away from finishing off the second draft of the new Star Brigade book. Thank GOD! Looking forward to jumping into new territory for a bit.

A Storm of Books and Stuff

Movie Review: PROMETHEUS
Just saw the very much anticipated Alien prequel PROMETHEUS today. Now as movie promotion was ramping up, I was less than enthused. Granted, I would have seen it anyway since I’m a sci-fi fan, but the initial teaser trailers felt too Event Horizon/Astro-Horror and basically revealed not even a good teaser to whet one’s appetite.

DC Comics Strikes Back
Avengers. You know, that movie directed by Joss Whedon that was the culmination of Marvel’s brilliant shared cinema universe plan? Its now the Number 1 grossing comic film of all time, surpassing The Dark Knight with close to $1.4 billion and counting. Avengers is doing so well that its torpedoing other summer movies that have [...]

New Short Stories
While I’m editing my second Star Brigade book, I did not want to get too rusty in regards to my actual writing. So I’m trying a new tactic of balancing both editing and writing some short stories at the same time. The results? Not bad thus far. The plan is to use this time while [...]

Summer Movie Season
The 2012 Summer Movie season is upon us. Its my favorite part of the year for movies. Sure one usually will not find those well-acted dramas that cut to the core of their very existence, but more often than not Hollywood will offer a bevy of big, fun, bombastic event movies that wow your socks [...]
