Is this really the end of 2022? It feels like it went by in record time. The start of this year saw me and my family preparing for a significant life change. We were moving from our home in Pennsylvania, a state that we were born and raised in, to the Outer Banks of North... Continue Reading →
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 →
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.

Was I wrong. I had the first couple of chapters down when I realized I was missing some things.... Continue Reading →
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 →
