I’ve seen a lot of concerts. The notches on my belt include Metallica with an Orchestra, Pantera, Ozzy, The Big 4 (Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth), GWAR, Motorhead (I snuck backstage and met Lemmy), and Guns N Roses just to name a few. But one band has dogged me all my life: Phish.

Note: The following article was written off the top of my head.

I think about things, and one of things I think about is the decline of Rock n Roll. A lot of blame can be laid on MTV. How did MTV, who gave us weird cartoons like The Head or Liquid Television and (their name) music that scared your parents turn into a homogenized, pasteurized, and sanitized reality TV channel that barely plays music? It was a domino effect that started with the Spice Girls. (more…)

Kathleen-May Llamas of Purple Lipstick and a Purple Soul Gem posted a review of Wicked Game, saying ” it starts with a suave reference to the Chris Isaak song, and it ends with a twist on the whole ‘good guy rescues the damsel-in-distress’ archetype”

A big thank you to Kathleen-May Llamas for taking the time to review the book.

Merry Christmas to all! As a present for all of you, here is a preview of my comic book, “Wicked Game.” Written, drawn, and lettered for your enjoyment.  Writing comics is a passion of mine and the completion of this book is one of my greatest accomplishments.

It’s something I couldn’t have done without my collaborators: Cary Watson; who did the logo, Mindy Steffen; my letterer, Suzi Lorraine; a great actress/writer who is the model for the character of Maria, and Roderic Rodriguez; a gem whose art brought this story to life.

Thank you so much for reading this preview. I hope you enjoy it. If you do be sure to like the Facebook page and keep checking this page for news about this exciting book. Have a wonderful holiday season.

UPDATE: Check out my appearance on Evil Jester Presents with fellow writers Charles Day, Jeremy Mays, and H.E. Goodhue. We talk comics, writing, and of course “Wicked Game.” Click here to listen. Preview is after the jump!
