The Pitt Season 2 succeeds in spite of itself and I'm not sure how long the magic will last. They've doubled down on Dr. Robby's mental health crisis at the expense of the ensemble cast.

How I learned from my first writing embarrassment. It took me 14 years to come to terms with the fact that my first book "The Silver Ninja" was not the cringe-worthy failure I thought it was. It was the foundation of who I want to be as a writer. Read more at thesilverninja.com

Narco Hotel 2026 Re-Release

Hey readers, Apologies for the lack of updates. Whenever things are quiet around here, know that it means I’m doing one of two things: A.) Writing, working on new content. B.) Crying and spitting at the screen wishing I had never chosen to write professionally. For the most part, it’s been A. (Thank God.) All right, I can’t believe I have to say this. There is a small disclaimer I need to…

2025 was a productive year, but 2026 will be the start of the next chapter of my writing journey.

2025 Advent Train Stories: Lost Dog

Welcome to the Advent Calendar Story Train, where you can read through 24 stories under this year’s theme, Lost. In the fall of 2008, I found myself hypnotized by the glow of my computer monitor. On it was a videogame called Fallout 3. For those of you unfamiliar with the game or the show, the premise is about living in a post apocalyptic world where technology never developed past 1950s Sci-Fi.…

Sanctifiction Displate!

Happy Halloween everyone! Before we put away the candy and start craving turkeys, I wanted to let you know of a very special project I commissioned from a talented artist that goes by @swangzhel on Instagram. I found his profile on Behance and knew I had to hire him for a project. Super talented artist, great understanding of vintage comic book covers. If I had one complaint, the file sizes are…

Sanctifiction Soundtrack

Ghouls and Ghosts, It’s Spooktober and I’ve been hard at work putting the finishing touches on the Sanctifition – Vibes unofficial soundtrack. (Unofficial because it’s not like I could get these artists to agree to be on a real album, know what I mean?) I have curated a collection of songs that I feel best capture the mood and feel of my upcoming horror series Sanctifiction. This collection…

A lot of people hate being bored, but boredom is one of the best ways to get the creative juices flowing.

Apologies to the instagram folks, I know the links don't work. This is just a post on my writing, what's I'm working on, and why I've been less active lately.

Superman 2025 brought me back to 1989

I went into Superman 2025 with no expectations. Why was Guy Gardner in the trailer? How come they’re only showing footage of the superdog rescuing him? All these signs made me think Superman 2025 would be a mediocre flop. If you read any posts on X (Twitter) you’d think this movie was a disgrace to the Superman legacy. They disparaged the bright colors and thought David Corenswet was inferior to…

A Bitter Winter 2nd Edition is live!

I know it’s way too early in the year to talk about A Bitter Winter 2nd Edition but it seems winter has come early. This was a personal passion project I took on when I needed to clear my head of horror fiction. 2nd Edition is not a relaunch, or a reboot, or an attempt to boost sales. In fact, it has nothing to do with revenue or profit. A Bitter Winter 2nd Edition was my chance to tell the…

A new edition of A Bitter Winter is coming soon

Happy new year everyone! Sorry I didn’t post a new blog in January. I planned on writing a review of Apple TV’s Shrinking and how you absolutely need to watch it, but I got sidetracked due to starting a new job. Although I’m enjoying my new, more senior role, the job has occupied a lot of my time and has made it difficult for me to keep the blog updated. If you’re not a part of my newsletter, I…

Advent Train Stories: The Sister of Melted Wax

Welcome to the Advent Calendar Story Train, where you can read through 24 stories under the theme Surprise. “My child.” The queen emerged from her sacred chamber. “I wish to speak with you.” The servant refused to believe that the holiest mother of mothers wanted to speak with her in private. The living incarnation of God wanted an audience with a lowly Sister of the Melted Wax? She had…

Alien: Romulus plays all the Greatest Hits

Alien: Romulus by first-time franchise director Fede Alvarez, is a throwback to the classic Alien formula. However, some creative decisions did not sit well with fans of the franchise. I personally didn’t mind it, but there’s been a huge uproar over bringing back characters from previous movies. Characters previously played by dead actors. The story. Without going into too much detail, Alien:…

How to write a marketing blurb part 3

This is going to be a little embarrassing, but that’s what happens when an older you reflects on the “a long time ago” version of you. Back in 2015 I started the first post in “How to write a marketing blurb.” It was an in-depth post covering the mechanics and brainstorming session of a marketing blurb. I don’t want to link to it because it’s so embarrassing, but it’s a learning opportunity for…

Civil War by Alex Garland is more like a Civil Dud.

Civil War by Alex Garland is a film that imagines a dystopian America caught in a second Civil War. California and Texas have united to create the Western Forces while Florida, Alabama, and a few other states form the Florida Alliance. There are apparently two more alliances, but the film doesn’t bother to introduce them. I had to check an online article to find out more information. Before you…

Tokyo Vice season 2 loses what made season 1 so great.

Tokyo Vice is a show on Max (formerly HBO Max) that follows the story of Jake Adelstein (Ansel Elgort) a young American journalist who relocates to Japan in order to make a name for himself. He works for the biggest Japanese newspaper in town called the Meicho Shimbun and quickly has to learn that the things he could do in America would never fly in Japan. Supposedly, this show is based on true…
