I first read this book as a scanlation, but Last Gasp has published an official translation. If you know nothing about this book, a quick glance at the cover might be misleading. The soft pastels and open lines may give you the idea that this is a book about the tender and quiet sides of life. This isn’t entirely incorrect, …
Upgrade Soul By Ezra Claytan Daniels The common belief about Frankenstein is that it is a monster story. The focus is on the Creature’s hideousness. This is ironic given the central heart of the novel in which the Creature makes it clear that he wanted to be a benefit to humanity but was denied that option because people looked on …
I needed to order some new Brause 511 nibs, so I decided to get a few others and try them out just for fun. Here’s what I got and what I thought… The Bank of England Ledger Pen is a larger nib. It has a solid feel and reminded me a lot of a G pen, though stiffer than the …
https://tapas.io/episode/1449617 It’s also on Webtoon: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/lounger/list?title_no=306431 At this point, I think you can get a pretty good idea for the feel of the story. Since I am so bad at labeling things (stemming, most probably, from the fact that I hate labels): what would you call it? Apocalyptic? Dark comedy? Drama? Sci-fi?

I’ve been publishing “Lounger” on Tapas as I’ve been working on it. We’re now up to page 25. I’ve also decided to put the story up on Line Webtoon to try out the site and see how it compares to Tapas.
Since I had two new books out this year, This Wasn’t the Plan and The Lost Cause of Poetry, I decided that it might be time to do some cons again. I hadn’t done a con since the sad little APE back in September of 2017, and not since 2014 before that when I did the TCAF. So I applied …
I have these magazine files that I hold old pages in. Everything is organized chronologically and finished work is interspersed with unfinished ideas. I had a new idea for a story based on something I had thought of years ago, so I was looking through these magazine files earlier this week. That’s when I discovered something that I had completely …
You can now order print copies of The Lost Cause of Poetry from me through Gumroad (just click). This collection features shorter works including comics that are poetic, abstract, and humorous. Running themes include time, art, and, of course, poetry.
This weekend I’ll be at the VanCAF in Vancouver, BC. I’ll be in the gymnasium at table M11. If you’re there, be sure to drop by and say hello. I’ll have copies of my newest books, The Lost Cause of Poetry and This Wasn’t the Plan.
It’s still a bit unreal right now as I finish the semester, but I’ll be getting on a plane Friday and heading for Toronto for the TCAF. I’ll be seating at table Q4, which is on the second floor. If you’ll be there, be sure to drop by and say hello. I’ll have copies of my most recent books, This …
