The (Comi)X(ology) Marks the Spot

Sometimes I’m thrilled to have been born in 1977. It means that while I have memories of a bygone era (and let’s face it, by the time you hit 30, your childhood is a bygone era) that included local TV playing old cartoons for hours, thereby giving a child a proper education. It means being [...]

The Happiness My Girls Bring Me

I’d done this before. The first time was fifteen years ago, when I was twenty. Back then, things were different. The idea of my having a child was hilarious, terrifying, and exciting at the same time. I didn’t know that I would soon leave college to take care of the baby and to pursue a [...]

Hmmm….Interesting

Last January, 2010, or maybe it was summer 2009, if I could find the printout… Anyway, it doesn’t matter, I received a private message on MySpace (remember that place? Good times, man! Gooood times) from a new publisher that was getting into ebooks. They asked if I was interested in publishing the ebook version of [...]

Bring On That Wrecking Ball

I began writing a long, in-depth piece on Bruce Springsteen’s new album Wrecking Ball but stopped. There are several reasons why: There have been many reviews of the new album, all of them spectacular. The Boss doesn’t need my help. Why the hell would you care about my readings of “Shackled And Drawn” or “We [...]

The Incredible Nerd

The television series The Incredible Hulk, starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno was woven into the fabric of my childhood. Yet, I realized recently that I had never seen the entirety of the very first episode, the pilot movie. So I called it up on Netflix Instant Streaming and watched it last night. Watching it [...]

Introvert Seeks Public Audience (Story on Page 2)

I watched this video from TED2012 featuring Susan Cain giving a talk about being an introvert and the importance of accepting people who are introverts. I’d never heard of Ms. Cain before this talk but she’s written a book called Quiet: The Power of Introverts that I may have to check out at some point. [...]

29 February 2012, or A Leap Day By Any Other Name

How is it that this is my first post of 2012?! For anyone who actually follows my website, I apologize. The Day Job has been very busy and when I’m not doing work for that, I’ve been, well, writing, which is (I assume) kinda sorta the reason you’re here. I’ve been wanting to try to [...]

This Ain’t No Year In Review

Everybody’s doin’ ‘em. I’m not. I’ve had ups, I’ve had downs. You’ve had ups, you’ve had downs. If you’re visiting this site, you that I had two novellas published this year: Alice on the Shelf by Bad Moon Books in January, and Shadowed by Delirium Books in March. You’ve bought them and read them and [...]
