If you like World War Z......

You should give my novella, Dead Factions a read. Available NOW in the store.

DEAD FACTIONS, The Zombie War Narratives is a powerful mixture of shock, sci-fi and government conspiracy. It is a world left exposed to an infection and abandoned by its leaders. During this time of unrest, small portions of the undead have found a way to maintain their intellect and plan to control the country.  But not all of the infected want to share the control of the humans. In this first novella, readers are introduced to an enraged and pissed off survivor Corey, who sets route to find meaning/normalcy in this upside-down world. Corey finds his travels run head on with situations that he had not bargained for. He struggles to adapt....realizing a world he once knew and the people closest to him are both gone.  Corey will fight and unfortunately be tested beyond his imagination before he can hopefully find peace for those he learns to trust ..........and himself.

Breaking news: the comics industry is not dying

If there’s one phrase that frosts my scuppers these days it’s variations on the “comics are a dying industry” or “failing medium” or some other rote expression of gloom. This attitude goes back the historic low self-esteem which many comics industry creators and professionals hold. It’s one of those deeply held beliefs that people like to joke about even as it reveals a deeper insecurity.

and the talent continues to pile on for Quiver.


 I am stoked to announce good friend /artist /writer/ creator /fellow geek, Matthew D. Smith has agreed to squeeze Quiver into his ultra busy schedule as letterer. His passion for comics and creativity will be welcomed to a project that means a lot to me. Trust me when I say, I've been hooked on his comics ever since I met him at Con Nooga ...a year and a half ago. So, please checkout his site and give 'Bee Sting' and 'Simon Says' a try while you wait for Quiver to come out this Fall!

Cool Apps to have

Find iPhone
Obviously, if you lose your phone, any app on it won’t help you. However, if everyone in your group is using this App, it may save you locate it quicker. By inputting your Apple ID on your friend’s phone, you’ll be able to track down the relative location of your own phone (given you've enabled your GPS). This is nice insurance to have if the ‘lost and found’ doesn't come up with your phone.
ProCam
If you are like me, you have ditched the digital camera all together and just use the iPhone. As you know, the functionality is quite limited. As you might expect, there are a ton of photo Apps out there now. I like ProCam the best. This free App offers much of the functionality as an SLR camera and makes the best of your limited phone hardware


OBLIDIAN is offering two of their songs up free to download



I'm very fortunate to have as good friends Mudpig Sump-Humper and Lucian Tu.
Crazy enough they are offering two of my favorite songs from their album up as FREE DOWNLOADS. GET'EM THEY ROCK AND THEY ARE FREEEEEEEE!
