The blog is back. Enormous thanks to Sandon at Dreamhost Customer Support for patience and persistence above and beyond. If you’re looking for a place to park your web site, I recommend Dreamhost whole-heartedly. I’m still under the gun with DOCTOR FATE, so it may take a few days to finalize the blog cosmetics. Bear […]
I’ve been immersed in trying to solve a DOCTOR FATE storytelling problem for — uhm — a very long time. The solution arrived yesterday, at a Starbucks near the intersection of Lake Mead and Buffalo in Las Vegas. I now consider this establishment holy ground. The pigeons and sparrows are oracles reading cake crumbs. The […]
Watching Cho Seung-Hui, the Virginia Tech mass murderer, read his “manifesto” into the camera, I noticed something oddly familiar about the expressionless, run-on, nasal quality of the voice.

If this current media flap teaches us anything, it’s that calling people names is not inherently humorous.
Sorry about not posting for a number of days. I haven’t been sleeping well, haven’t accomplished nearly as much as I wanted (needed) to with the writing, haven’t been able to concentrate much. Time to take inventory, figure out what the hell — oh! THAT!! It’s tax time again! Yippoo! The only time of year […]
From Jack Holt: I hope magic still has some tricks up its sleeve, some quirks that keep the good Doctor on his toes. I like the idea of Doc using a system of magic, but somehow I hate the idea of magic itself being limited. Fairy queens, will o’ wisps, and the music of the […]
From Kenneth W. Lieck: 1) Has your previous Dr. Fate series [the Flash back-up w/the delicious Mike Golden art] ever been collected, and/or is it fated to face collection if this Fate fares well and doesn’t fale… er, fail? 2) Since I asked the above question, I guess I should ask if this storyline will […]
