Monday morning I set my alarm for 5am and I usually wake up for it. I silence my phone, the alarm, and throw my body vertically to meet the darkness. I grab my slippers and head into my office where I dump the slippers and turn on the laptop. I then turn on the hot [...]

It was only a small hiatus, but I am back in the saddle. I started writing again on my novel. Only a thousand words last night, and another few hundred so far from the wee hours of this morning, but it’s nice to be sitting back at the bar, stool under me, a mug in [...]

In about eight or nine days, the memory already eludes me like the soap on the bottom of the tub, I smashed out around 37k of words on my third novel. It was one hell of a productive week in the holidays, and I still managed to wash three cars, mow the lawn, front and [...]

The time grows closer and I must admit that each image I see whets my appetite more and more. Not my GnR appetite for destruction, so don’t be worried, just my appetite to see more Alex Maleev artwork, specifically from the Spider-Woman comic that will be coming soon. So they keep saying. I wouldn’t be [...]

I loves me a top ten list, even have a link to my right, your right, our right, of the best ones over. It’s the link called Top Tens. So why I haven’t done this one before escapes me. It seems like the perfect chance to give some people room to shine, even though their [...]

Another week brings another copy of what might be my new favourite reason to hit the comic shop; Wednesday Comics. Just sucks I have to get it on Friday, would taste so much sweeter on the titular day. For those who don’t know, Wednesday Comics is a new experiment by DC to put out a [...]

Yeah, just made up a new word, how cool is that? Yeah, you’re right, probably not very cool. But I just managed to start the last two sentences in exactly the same way, is that cool? No? Whatever. I have finally been putting some writing into my Tuscan Leather Journal. It is my professional journal, [...]

That’s my pitch, in a very nerdy kind of way, and a twinkle in my eye. It’s not actually Murdock meeting Ray Liotta, but the introduced character owes a lot to the titular Wiseguy. Here’s my idea: Matt Murdock is called into a high school in Hell’s Kitchen by the Principal, William Everett. Murdock is [...]

I would love to one day write comics. I make no hidden aspirations to this. I also want to write novels. This is certainly make clear on this site. I completely believe that I can do both, and one day will. I look at current writers like Duane Swierczynski, Joe Hill and Warren Ellis who [...]
