The last time I opened the file containing the latest outline to my original urban fantasy was September 9, 2005.Yep, over two years since I last looked at it. Sure, I’ve thought about it ever since, on and off, yearning to find the time to get back to it as if searching for a lost […]
I rarely indulge in ego-tripping across the web so am sometimes surprised by what I find.This afternoon, I was reminded that my pal, Max Allan Collins, has a Ms. Tree novel coming from Hard Case Crime next month. I clicked over to Amazon and entered Max’s name, then sorted by publication date. Well, first I […]
Given that three of us try to match schedules in order to watch the television series we enjoy together, we have come to watch just about everything via the DVR. We are definitely a time-shifting family. As a result, we’re only just about now caught up with most of the shows. It doesn’t help that […]
This is a weird week, a transitional one.The major freelance assignments are done and several little bits awaited me as the week began. I figured I could tackle a bunch of this stuff and find the time to finally get back to my original idea. Also, I’ve begun talking to other people about using my […]
John Nelson is running for First Selectman here in Fairfield. He recently came out with his platform and with some eight weeks to go, I figure it’s time to give it a little scrutiny. After all, his supporters have already misidentified information in their letters to the local papers in addition to having to go […]
Fifteen years ago this weekend we made the move to Fairfield. As we’ve been fixing up rooms in the house, essentially swapping spaces for Deb’s home office, I’ve been thinking back to that time and what’s come after.We chose to leave family and friends on Long Island, seeking more space and better schools in Connecticut. […]
Just got a note that an interview I conducted with MilSciFi is now live. Interestingly, they have a very broad definition of Military Science Fiction and include Star Trek. I’ve done very little real Military Sci-Fi but think the piece turned out fine and hope some people discover me through this.
My output is not all that voluminous so I’m always surprised when things get released simultaneously.This week, in comic shops everywhere, is Marvel Spotlight featuring my interview with Walt Simonson, discussing his time on Thor. The layout is attractive and I think we covered some stuff that hasn’t previously been mined.Also out this week, at […]
I’ve been saying this for a while now…the Yankees have been playing like winners for about two months now.Their efforts paid off as last night they won the Wild Card and still challenge Boston with four games left.To come back from playing punch drunk and 14.5 games back in late May to win is a […]
It passed. The vote was close, 21-19-1, but the Demolition Delay ordinance passed at last night’s RTM meeting.Going into the caucus last night, I still felt there wasn’t enough interest or passion for the ordinance despite Standing Committee votes showing it was close. As we discussed it, I still could sense it wasn’t going to […]
