    My latest book, Andropia, is now live and available for purchase.  I like to think of it as philosophical science fiction, heavily influenced by the world events of the last five years as well as classic works of literature such as Brave New World, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451. Andropia is the world’s last city, a…

    Interestingly enough, I believe Iron Man is one of those comic book characters that actually translates better on film.  Let’s face it: no matter how great the artist, Iron Man is a hero we want to see blazing through the sky, shooting rays from his hands, and just being generally awesome in live-action.  I think…

    Jude Landry is someone who will be revered one day as an artist … mark my words.  Originally a friend of a friend, I asked Jude almost two years ago if he’d design the cover for a book that I planned to release.  Because I  loved his previous work, I knew Jude would come up…

    I’m ecstatic to announce that my latest book, Andropia, is due to arrive in just a few short weeks! Andropia is the world’s last city, a utopia for its citizens known as Andropians.  They exist to please the Maker, he who created them in his floating Citadel.  Andropians cheerfully question nothing as they go about…

    It’s with good reason that I refuse to watch the 1981 version of Clash of the Titans as an adult.  I have such fond memories of that old movie.  Whenever it came on as a kid, I was planted.  I blame it for getting me vested in Greek mythology, especially when I started realizing that…

    Okay, so this is a DVD released in correlation with the video game of the same name.  It’s important to note that I’m not a gamer and don’t even own a video game system.  The film borrows from the famous work of literature, The Divine Comedy, which, of course, is the reason I checked it…

  • Valeria’s Last Stand by Marc Fitten – A Book Review

    I have to admit that I only chose to read this book because I liked its cover, so nothing could have prepared me for just how much I would love it. Valeria’s Last Stand takes place in a tiny Hungarian Village during the modern day.  It features Valeria, who is an old woman and the…

  • Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link – A Book Review

    In a recent interview, Michael Chabon recommended reading Kelly Link.  His suggestion was good enough for me, and so I quickly got a copy of the short story collection Pretty Monsters from my local library. I think the first thing I need to note is that Pretty Monsters is a young adult novel.  Meaning that,…

  • The Road – A Movie Review

    Though The Road opened around Thanksgiving, it just came to my town a few days before Christmas.  This, along with the multiple delays and reshoots, gave me great concern that the movie would not live up to the source material. My fears were unfounded. Absolutely bleak and morose, the film perfectly captured the essence of…
