I’d heard about the ‘80s Han Solo trilogy of books, but the existence of The Adventures of Lando Calrissian was news to me. I tracked these vintage paperbacks down the day I heard about them, and they’re basically worth it for the great pulp covers alone. I finished the first installment, Lando Calrissian and the…

I should’ve posted this by now, but this past week I appeared on the super cool Nostalgia Theater podcast. Zaki and I had a terrific conversation about the He-Man franchise throughout the years, and our own personal history with the toys and characters. If you haven’t already, I hope you check it out!

Look, I’ve been around. I know how online anger in general, and pop culture snobbery in specific, work. I’ve read about three billion hot takes on Ready Player One already. As such, I promise I’ll keep this short and not assume I’m being too clever or revolutionary in my thinking. I read the book at…

I’ve got another comic book movie review up on ComicBookMedia.com! This one is covering Whiteout, a pretty underwhelming adaptation of a pretty great indie comic series. It’s hard to find anyone saying anything positive about this flick, so I did try to be nice about my critiques. Still, though, this movie is rough. Check it…

The fantastic pop culture poetry site Barrelhouse was kind enough to post an essay of mine for their Valentines Day themed series “POP Love!” Given the prompt of celebrity crushes and that weird intersection between real love and fake people, my mind went back to high school and the Britney Spears shrine in my locker.…

I’m very happy and beyond honored that my story “2011 Cabernet” has been selected for the newest volume of Lilac City Fairy Tales. The anthology has become a local literary institution over the past few years. Each one is made up of prose and poetry from Spokane-locals, and the proceeds go towards Spark Central, the…

Doctor G was kind enough to have me on the MOTU-Cast podcast, where we took a look at the second installment of the classic Masters of the Universe mini-comics. We had a great time talking about “The King of Castle Grayskull”, Jack Kirby comics, and all sorts of other geeky goodness. Check it out!  

Remember how I wrote a novel in 2015, and then the publisher went out of business and it went out of print almost immediately? I do! Bad Publicity, the weird little softboiled satirical tabloid noir / ghost story that could (until it couldn’t anymore), is getting a new lease on life thanks to the folks…

I haven’t played video games since middle school, but I’ll be a guest on the excellent gaming live-stream show “Trav Verses”  tonight at 7:30 PST. It probably won’t go well. Check it out! https://www.twitch.tv/events/4piPyIjCQ7uqKcGQBG-xBA

There was a day last week when I caught myself sending query letters, calling copyright holders, scheduling interviews and guest spots on podcasts, plotting out a new story, and checking in with a publisher. All at once. It’s not often that I feel like a professional – like a real writer – but I felt…
