Just a quick post today on some TV shows that I’m currently enjoying. I don’t watch much television nowadays, but when I do these are what I’m watching… Doctor Who – Really enjoying the new season so far. Matt Smith has far exceeded my expectations. “Time of Angels” was fantastic! Looking forward to the new […]

Some time in the early 1990s, I was fortunate enough to meet Neil Gaiman at DragonCon in Atlanta. He was super-cool and was kind enough to really speak with the fans that were waiting in line for his autograph (not just the lip service some famous people provide). At one point I recall he halted […]

I recently had another opportunity to interview Gerry Conway, comics and TV legend! This time Michael Bailey (from the Views from the Longbox podcast) and I interviewed Gerry together. Gerry was extraordinarily generous with his time sitting down with us for about two hours. What a great guy! Previously I interviewed Gerry about Firestorm, a […]

Concluding my Star Wars Resume! In 1992 a former classmate named Serv and I assembled a group of folks to try the West End Games Star Wars Roleplaying Game. Serv and I didn’t really know each other that well at the time, we just both happened to share an interest in Star Wars and RPGs. […]

Continuing my Star Wars Resume! In the summer of 1981, I discovered Star Wars comic books. Prior to then I’d picked up an issue or two like any kid might have picked up Archie or Sad Sack. When I bought Marvel Comics Star Wars #50 off the shelf, I knew I was buying something different. […]

The rest of these I’ve already read. My love for Star Wars novels started in 1991 with Timothy Zahn’s Heir to […]

I’ve had Star Wars on the brain lately. My fanaticism normally cycles like a washing machine through: comics, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, and then starts over again with comics. Seems like I’ve been firmly in the Star Wars spin cycle for a while now. I’m nearly finished with the ninth novel in the […]
