Here's a really in-depth review of SIDE B. The story that Josh Kemble and I worked on gets a nice little mention.

...and another one right here.

APE'S UFO anthology

I've had a story accepted into APE Entertainment's UFO anthology. It's called "The Shot Heard 'Round the Worlds". It was beautifully illustrated by Sami Kivela. Check out more of his work here.

Here's a brief look at something that's featured pretty prominently in the story.

HOPE: THE HERO INITIATIVE

I'm very pleased to announce that I've got a short story appearing in Ronin Studios' HOPE: THE HERO INITIATIVE. The story was written by me and illustrated by Jason Moser. There's a taste of the artwork below. I was amazed at how awesome Jason's work looks. Wait 'till you see it in high res or on the printed page!



Keep checking this space for release dates and how to get yourself a copy of the book. Here's some of the official information from Ronin:

Ronin Studios is proud to announce, in partnership with The Hero Initiative, a new charitable HOPE anthology.

About The Hero Initiative
In late 2000, a consortium of comic publishers came up with the idea to create a financial safety net for comic creators, much in the same fashion that exists in almost any other trade from plumbing to pottery. By March of 2001, the federal government approved The Hero Initiative as a publicly supported not-for-profit corporation under section 501 (c) (3).

The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays' creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.

About HOPE
The HOPE line of anthologies was created to help those in dire need. By bringing together established professionals and up and coming comic creators Ronin Studios is able help provide financial aid and awareness to many worthwhile causes.

newest Crystal Fractal webcomic is up!

The newest webcomic (written by me) is up at the Crystal Fractal Comics website. The title is "Magic 101", and it's the first of a three part story that chronicles the early days of Natanael and his crew. Do the clicking here.

The artwork is by the same team who worked on "Gossamer and Cats". It was a pleasure to be re-united with these fine folks...
