Art comes from the soul. It needs to come out no matter what. I believe true artists don’t care how they are perceived. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they want to make money so they can concentrate on their art, but if no one saw it or read it they would still make it.... Continue Reading →
Comic Book Echo Chamber
I have a love for comic books. As a kid, they were my escape from the real world. The mixture of pictures and words carried me away on an adventure I could never have on my own. As I got older, I started to read books on top of the comics. Today I have a... Continue Reading →
Going Against The Grain
To say I like to go against the grain is quite an understatement. I actively look for ways to be different from everyone else. Mostly to my detriment. I have sabotaged myself so many times, it’s embarrassing to think about. Yet looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. The mistakes I’ve made have helped forge... Continue Reading →
More Than One Game In Town.
Comics are great, but let's not forget their big brother, books. There’s almost nothing I love more than to sit down and read a comic book. Comics are, when done right, some of the greatest pieces of art you and I can own. When you combine an artist with phenomenal skill and a writer who... Continue Reading →
Dismissing your fan base-Revisited
Will they ever learn? This could be an unpopular opinion. It was a little over a year ago when I wrote a blog talking about writers using their platform to push unpopular agendas in their writing and on their social media accounts.

The First Full Week
Okay. A week and two days. Well it’s been 2021 for a whole week. How’s everyone doing? I’m not doing too bad. I came into this year with a solid plan and so far I’m hitting all my goals. The middle of the week was kinda rough. I didn’t get good sleep. I went to... Continue Reading →
Working on book two.
In a few days I’m going to be sitting down to start writing the follow up book to Deadlock. It’s been quite the learning experience. Early in my first book, I had my wife read the chapters as I wrote them. When the book was finished she said, “Don’t be angry, but your later chapters... Continue Reading →
Humble Beginnings
Everyone needs to start somewhere. I started at my kitchen table hoping to exorcise my demons. Severe anxiety and depression drove me to a dark place and writing helped pull me out. Two years later I’m no longer plagued by a negative mindset and I have a finished book. Now It’s not a long read.... Continue Reading →
Goodbye 2020
I’ve been trying to come up with something to post for a while. I thought about talking about Christmas and how me and my family are getting ready for it, but there were no good anecdotes to share. So I settled on a year in review. This was a very weird year for me. On... Continue Reading →
