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.
Just thought I’d continue to break my tradition of one-per-month posts by posting an update on WtC: the RPG! I am still awaiting final word from MWP to do the book, but it looks promising so I have been absorbing the Cortex Plus rules as illustrated in the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying game and the upcoming … More WtC: the RPG, Update.
Not Astra, but oh yeah–this is her life. Normally I post irresistible art like this on my Facebook page, but I just had to pass it along here. For anyone who doesn’t know, this is Victory, the main character in Mr. Jackson’s Little Victory series. And yeah, it’s good.
Not the game system I’ll be using. So I’ve made no secret of my desire to eventually develop or sponsor a roleplaying game book using the Post-Event setting of the Wearing the Cape stories. Because of course I wasn’t just a sci-fi/fantasy fan and rabid comic book reader in my younger days (a description that, other … More Announcing Wearing the Cape: The RPG.
We’re from the government, and we’re here to help you. When did Men in Ties become sexy? British experts, hot bone-breakers, and a dead guy: Whedon’s revenge for the cancellation of Angel. A lot of influences went into Wearing the Cape, but mostly it happened because I was traumatized by Heroes. Don’t get me wrong, … More Agents of Shield and Other Stuff.
Okay, now that’s just cool. First off, thank you everybody who responded to my request for critiques in the last post. I got a lot out of it as well as many of the comments made on Amazon. As you can see from the neat screenshot above, Young Sentinels is doing marvelously–indeed the sustained sales … More Updates and Stuff…
Good news: the Createspace edition of Young Sentinels is now being proofed, and I hope to have a box of YS to take with me to the Las Vegas Comics Expo. Bad News: now I have no excuses to save me from launching into plotting/drafting the next book, Girl’s Night. There is, however, one post-publication … More And now the post-mortem…
Wait for it, wait for it… Just kidding. A couple of hours ago I posted Wearing the Cape: Young Sentinels onto Amazon.com through KDP. It always takes at least half a day for them to process a new or updated book, but it should be available to everyone who has been patiently waiting sometime on … More Young Sentinels is finished! Now what?
Good news for everyone who has been impatiently waiting; I have this week finished my first draft of Young Sentinels! Since I tend to rewrite as I write, I do not anticipate many changes between now and the final draft, which means that a release date in August is not unthinkable. I apologize to everyone … More Young Sentinels Update and Chapter Three.
Young Sentinels nears completion, and I am as impatient as many readers to see it finished–there is nothing like holding a complete manuscript in your hands (metaphorically speaking). There is still work to be done, but you’ve reached the top of the mountain and can enjoy the accomplishment and the view for a while. Of … More Comic Conventions, Superman, Etc.
Wow. Just, wow. We got a breather after taking down Villains Inc. Sort of, or a chance to change to a slow dance anyway. I missed Jacky, but the new members fitted in nicely even if sometimes I thought Watchman was trying to kill me. While peace didn’t exactly descend on our great metropolis, we … More A Light On The Horizon
