And Now For Something Completely Different

Two other novel projects that I have written (one by myself, and one in collaboration).  Content may vary both in genre and style within this page.

Ohayocon 2012: In Review

Well, the Ohayocon 2012 experience was an adventure, to say the least.  Between Fred having a cold (and summary laryngitis), and my bout of food poisoning through most of Saturday and part of Sunday (I will never eat at Noble Roman’s Pizza ever again), we weren’t exactly the most upbeat and happy pair at the convention.

But regardless, it was a remarkable positive experience, met some wonderful people, and even some old friends (like my buddy Naosa, who does some remarkable cosplay, you can see some of it at her website, http://naosa.deathcom.net/about/index.html).  Hopefully, the two of us will be invited again… because I would love to attend next year.

Ohayocon 2012

The new year marks a new appearance to the public.

Once again, I’ll be joining Fred Gallagher and his MegaTokyo cabal; this time at Ohayocon in Columbus Ohio, January 27th-29th.  Not sure if I’ll be engaged in any panels this time around or if I’ll just be manning the booth, but we shall see.  Youmacon went so well that I hope this convention will be as enjoyable.

Further Youmacon News

My panel time along with Fred Gallagher has been confirmed as 9:00-11:00 am Saturday, November 5th, in the Renaissance Center main ballroom.  Nice big venue; should be a fun experience for everyone involved.

It’s possible I might get drafted into other panels in the convention, but that’s probably going to be a spur of the moment decision.  I’ll likely be at the MegaTokyo booth for the majority of the time otherwise… wherever that proves to be.

Exiern

As has finally become official, I have taken over for Drowemos as the writer and creative mind behind the Exiern webcomic.

It’s a bit of a big step for me (and will probably slow production of my novels and whatnot… but I gave up meeting those deadlines anyway), but I’ve been told I’m up to the challenge, and will do justice to the story while giving it a different direction and style.

I guess I should choose to believe it.

What to Talk About?

Supposedly, keeping an active blog is a good way to keep readership.  I want to keep readers.

But at the same time, I really don’t have any news to report.  Work on The Endtimers’ Legacy continues, albeit slowly.  Work on MegaTokyo: Endgames continues, albeit slowly.  I’ve already noted that I’m going to Youmacon, nothing has really changed on that score.  There are other things that are happening, but I’m not comfortable talking about them yet.

I have no intention of turning this blog into my personal venting pulpit… I still am rather disappointed in myself that I did so once, and I’m not going to again.

I’m really against wasting people’s time with vapid blog posts that don’t give anything of substance… and yet here I am wasting people’s time with nothing of substance.

I’m sorry.  I’m pretty much terrible.

I’ve Been Neglecting This Place Terribly.

But honestly, it’s not that I haven’t forgotten about my blog… I’m just not the sort of person who types up every random thought that pops into his head… and I have no delusions that anyone even cares about the content in this blog, much less my inane daily dealings.

Really, nothing has changed in the last month… I’m still hard at work with The Endtimers’ Legacy, as well as preparing the first full length MegaTokyo: Endgames light novel.

What can I say, I’m just a very boring guy not worth paying much attention to.  When I have something worth saying… I’ll eventually say it to all ten people who care.

Youmacon 2011

Barring some unforeseen circumstances, it looks like I’ll be attending this years Youmacon in Detroit, November 3rd to the 6th.

Still unsure on a lot of the details yet, but a heads up if you’re going to be in the area and for some bizarre reason want to chat me up in person.  More will be forthcoming as I learn it.

The Second Gate, now on Barnes & Noble for the Nook!

It took a bit longer than Amazon, but Barnes and Noble finally cleared my account and submission for their Nook store.

A Word of Thanks

I learned that over the weekend, “Behind the Masque” held the #1 spot for several hours on Amazon’s Bestseller List for all Comics and Graphic Novels, and held the top spot on their manga list throughout the entire weekend.

I could not have dreamed of such a result for the hard work Fred and I put together.  I’m actually rather humbled by the result.  Thank everyone who made this story such a rousing success.  For those who still haven’t given it a read… well, obviously quite a few people like it.  You wouldn’t want to miss out, would ya?

Megatokyo Endgames: Behind the Masque

It took some time to set everything in order, but at long last, a taste of what is in store for those who wanted to see the fruits of my Super Special Super Secret Project.

The Kindle Store now carries “Behind the Masque” a short story set in the Endgames world that will allow readers to dip their toes in and decide if they want to see more.  If anything, Fred Gallagher’s artwork is worth the $0.99 by itself.
