Not only completed #nanowrimo but beat it by a week ahead of schedule. I’ve written plenty before but I wanted to see if I had the discipline to go the distance.

A belated thank you but a thank you nonetheless. Thanks to everyone who supported or pre-ordered “Crimson Seventeen” (out now). I hoped only one person would buy it but it manages to be nearly a hundred times that before the book came out. Now it’s onto the physical copy (available late fall).

Looking forward to the rest of the Bachman trilogy with “The Running Man” and “The Deadly Prancer”. But seriously, happy birthday and yes, I did enjoy “The Long Walk”.

We all knew this was the direction we were heading. I just didn’t know it would happen in less than a year. Shocked but unsurprised.

Twenty years ago, my ex used to tell me that I'd never be published, because everything I read was 'shit'.

These are my published novels (plus Lugan, plus two more completed, plus the one I'm writing at the moment and others coming).

Boo A.I but yay that it recognizes I have a book coming out.

If only I could go back in time when I had hair so I could cosplay as Hiro Protagonist from Snow Crash for a convention.

Ozzy Osbourne Farewell Show Was The Highest-Grossing Charity Concert Of All Time On July 5, Ozzy Osbourne put on a farewell concert, performing as a solo artist and with Black Sabbath for the last time in the band’s hometown of Birmingham, UK. Billed as the “Back To The Beginning”...

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinson’s cure is metal AF.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne

This is a head sculpture I did for a figure of the werewolf he became in the Bark at the Moon video, based on the late Greg Cannom's fantastic makeup.
The figure was produced by Art Asylum and Fun 4 All in 1999.
