Sometimes all you have left is a memory, a time when you found yourself, lost yourself, found yourself again . . . in someone else. And sometimes they leave you anyway, but in the end what they’ve given to you is more than what you could have ever asked for. And though they’re gone you have lived because of them and become so much more. You have experienced what most go through their whole lives without, that four-letter word that impacts the world greater than anything else.
Last Sunday I once again had the pleasure of being interviewed by Travis Bruce of Horror Realm on YouTube. I was previously on his program discussing GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE. This time we talked ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY, being a Youtuber and Funko Pops!
As always, it was a pleasure to hang out with Travis as he and I are very similar in terms of our fandom.

This time we got down to business and talked ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY. I was told the interview will air sometime this weekend so watch this space for a posting when it does.
I’ve done a ton of interviews over the years, everything from a fellow creator’s blog straight through to radio and TV. I’m always open to doing more so if you’re interested in having me on your program or website, please let me know. We can talk books, comics, writing and drawing processes, recent releases, superheroes, monsters, and more!
Many author blogs or websites are just about that: writing and books.
Which is 100% fine. I used to do it. Many others I know still do it. But do you see that site banner up there? It says three things: Writer, Artist, Creator. And it’s the latter part that explains why I don’t just post about books and comics (as awesome as those are).
I’ve talked about it before and I’ll mention it again, this site is about the long game in my creator/creative journey. It’s a showcase of the various crafts I practice. It’s also an information and entertainment source for you.
Why the hotwheels? Why the Funko Pops!? Why the action figures and playing cards? Because the film medium is something I also enjoy. My skillset might not be top-notch (most of what I do behind the scenes is based off what I learned in high school multimedia class 25 years ago . . . and it still works).
These creations and showcases are meant to compliment the books and comics and show that those things are made by a fan for the fans.
Some stumbles across one of my posts via a search engine and soon they are whisked into a realm of heroes and monsters and fandom entertainment. Author blogs can be more than just books and writing, if you want.
It’s that simple.
Like I always say, there’s a method to the madness.
Take a walk on the design side and watch author A.P. Fuchs go through some of the edits from his editor for his upcoming release, AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY, then proceed to the layout phase of the book’s production prior to a final read-through before press.

It’s important to me to share information with fellow writers and artists whenever I can. I have a free section here for it on this site, but I also have a special section on Patreon for creators as well. The below essays and articles are only available on Patreon but they share over 20 years of knowledge of the self-publishing business and how it works.

A ton of cool stuff has been happening over at the Patreon page. It serves as a special place to hold all that I share in public plus a pile of stuff for patrons only. Right now we’re airing two serial books, behind the scenes stuff, special articles, blog posts, videos, and more.
The patron-only video this month asks the all-important question: Does God Speak German? And before you berate me, there’s a reason for the video.
It’s amusing items like the above that keep the page fresh, educational, and also entertaining.
I’m having a lot of fun with Patreon 2.0 and I invite you to join me there for the same.
