I would like to say that I have been an avid writer all my life, but that would be a dirty lie. I write in fits and starts, I draw in fits and starts. The only thing I do with any consistency is lose sleep, and that's mostly because I'm laying there, at two in the morning, creating storyboards in my head. Okay, I guess that it's safe to say that I've been honing my English grammar and syntax skills all my life. Only within the last few years, though, have I felt that my work is of the could-be-published quality. I am busy writing and illustrating a Science-Fiction comedy epic; I have been busy writing and illustrating said epic for... um... since, like, fourth grade. But it gets better every version! I call the series' first book Pound Sand, which is a "go jump in a lake" kind of nonsense, 'xcept the story is set in the desert. It features small furry creatures and a Perfectly Normal thirteen-year-old as co-conspirators, comic relief, and general plot complication. There are bureaucrats to be rescued, not-comfy chairs to be re-upholstered and flags to be captured. There's a big hairy battle scene in which That-Warlord-Guy gets his tail whupped, moral lessons with which to burden the thirteen-year-old, and an insidious underlying plot perpetuated by a bunch of crack archaeologists. Somewhere in here, they also plan to find the TV remote. I am inspired by, but don't necessarily emulate, the following authors: H.P. Lovecraft, Neil Gaiman, Harlan Ellison, Chris Claremont, Margaret Weis, and Peter David. These are simply the ones I can remember off the top of my head; there are, of course, elevendy-two others. The comic relief is inspired by the antics of my younger siblings and my junior high school's pet chinchilla. I have, at some time in the past, written a short story or two worth reading. I may write short stories again some time in the future. Right now, though, I just want to get the Pound Sand novel finished and published (ostensibly so that I can begin polishing the rest of the series-- planned as fifteen books to date). None of my stories are online at this time. I do, however, have a nice, cozy spot in the Elfwood art gallery, and I encourage you to visit and ply your hand at being an art critic. Favorite Books As with many members of Noble Fusion, my book list changes with time of day, weather, and what I ate for breakfast. Here's a sample:
