I am a reasonably successful self-published author ("successful" means I can pay the bills and am highly rated in my Amazon category), former financial advisor (writing is more fun), and have something in common with Mitt Romney and Donny Osmond. Guess.
Heroes against profiling. I know I’ve already talked about the new Captain America movie, but I just caught an excellent article on Law and the Multiverse. It discusses Operation Insight, the initiative that Alexander Pierce *cough* Hydra spearheaded within SHIELD and Nick Fury–perhaps tired of the “long twilight struggle–approved. Because, really, Operation Insight and the … More A Winter War
If you don’t know what happens next, go away and come back when you do. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I hope that wasn’t too annoying, but who knows, I might have had a reader who didn’t know that Peter Parker’s first love … More Being Gwen Stacy.
Time for some thrillin’ heroics. This is my second review in a month, which is something of a record for me lately, but I had to give the Firefly Roleplaying Game a mention. Disclaimer: I don’t play RPGs these days, and haven’t for quite a few years. Alright, basically not since college (lack of hours … More A Fire In The Mind
I have been waiting for this since the first Captain America movie, half-certain I would be disappointed. After all, Thor: The Dark World was better than Thor, but Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3 were both a step down from Iron Man (though still good). And Captain America himself is a hard character to … More Movie Review-The Winter Soldier.
I keep resolving to post more…. For everyone out there who is wondering what is going on: 1.) Book 5 continues apace. A fairly recent development is that I have temporarily shelved the Japan-trip storyline–I still want to do it, but I have also realized that now is not the time for it in Astra’s … More Updates and First Chapter (The first one’s free…)
It’s not exciting news, but it’s news! We have finally set up the new homepage for my books. We have kept the wearingthecape.com domain name because, let’s face it, it’s perfect. Although the page is pretty bare right now, with just the pages for the books and a contact page, as promised it will soon … More New Website Up!
Hey everybody! Just thought I’d drop a line and let everyone know what has been going on. First and most important, I am making progress on the fourth Wearing the Cape book; I’m still not writing as fast as I’d like, but this one has a complex plot with several moving parts and I … More Update and Flash-Fiction
First look at my new artist. “The time has come,” the Walrus said, “to talk of many things: of shoes and ships and sealing-wax, of cabbages and kings.” It’s funny, what sticks with you. My father wasn’t big on literature for literature’s sake; he read like a fish (whatever that means), but read what he … More Calling All Guinea Pigs!
Merry Christmas, everybody! Progress proceeds with both novel and game, and I intend to have a file of The Rules by Christmas for everyone interested in trying them on for sizeand giving critical feedback. I can’t talk much about the book yet, just that I’m having fun and I hope you will too when you … More Merry Christmas!
I Just read this report on the expected Big One in Southern California. It sounds like our infrastructure is becoming more vulnerable, not less. http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/12/11/imagine-america-without-los-angeles-expert-warns-southern-california-isnt-ready-for-major-quake/
