    I’m a comic book guy.  Have been all my life.  Yes, my tastes have changed as I’ve gotten (much) older, but I still love the medium, the craft, and the sheer artistry involved.  When words and pictures come together to sequentially deliver a story – it’s stunning. The problem is, I’m a little picky about…

    Several months ago I realized I had no idea where to find my class ring.  (Now keep in mind I’m thirty-five.)  At first I didn’t understand why I felt so disappointed that I’d lost it.  Frankly, as an eighteen year old, I couldn’t wait to leave high school behind and everything that it entailed, including…

    So as you may know, I’m a high school English teacher.  I’m currently teaching an amazing class called Modern Fiction in which (mostly) seniors get to read novels of their own choosing throughout the semester.  It is a beautiful course because I get to witness firsthand young adults falling in love with reading again. Interestingly…

    So about five years ago I stupidly made a joke when I was about to turn 30 that my life was half over.  Not only was this extremely insensitive to anyone over 30, but it was also blatantly untrue.  Now here I am, less than a week away from 35, and I feel like life…

    Happy New Year! Whew!  I’ve got to be honest: 2011 was a busy year.  Unfortunately, a side effect of all that hustle and bustle was the neglecting of my website.  Well, I’m here to tell you, I’m going to do better in 2012! In fact, I’ve got a few resolutions (don’t we all?) for the…

    This is it! At last, Dr. Nekros has Xaphan in his sights and the ghost hunter is ready to exact his revenge, and it’s all thanks to Zetta’s husband! But when Zetta admits that she knows nothing about Jason’s information, Dr. Nekros grows suspicious. Is this yet another trick by Xaphan, and if so, are…

  • A Follow-Up To Souls Triumphant?

    Writing is a funny thing. Sometimes a story demands to be written, and when this happens, it is both exciting and terrifying. A very long time ago, I wrote a book called Souls Triumphant.  It spent some time in limbo before I finally published it, and when people read it, I invariable heard, “Will there…

  • The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man by Michael Chabon – A Book Review

    I’ve often said that Michael Chabon is one of America’s preeminent contemporary authors, so when I heard he had a children’s picture book available, I jumped at the chance to procure one on behalf of my three-year-old. Michael Chabon’s The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man is cute and innocent and consistent with what we know…
