Just gotta say…

My “frontline” readers are simply awesome people (both for this project and past projects). They took time out of their busy & important lives to read my crap and all I gotta say is: thanks. A million times: thanks. As a writer, I should have more words to describe the love I feel for these [...]

Ode to my iPhone

Camping Book Reviews! (2011 edition)

Well, I’m back from a very lazy week on my camping chair. Just like I did last year, I crammed some reading in-between naps and chasing the kids around. I read 1.5 books on my new iPhone and 1 paperback from the legendary Bookbarn in Niantic CT. The reviews below only contain minor spoilers, though likely less [...]

Game of Thrones – we geeks have always known this

Game of Thrones on HBO is (in my opinion) the best fantasy material ever to appear on TV. I might argue “the screen,” but I think I need to ponder that just a little more. If you’ve watched it, then you probably are hitting me with a “duh” face right about now. What’s my point? Well, I find [...]
