ALEXANDER X is out. ANCIENT AMONG US is coming. Slllllooooowly we’ve been building for the past two—um, well, that’s a surprise…


We are in the last few days of the push. Alexander X and its audiobook version read by Wil Wheaton are coming out May 28th. AND the sequel, Ancient Among Us, (that’s Wil Wheaton getting ready to start recording on AAU), will come out a couple of weeks after that. It’s been two years of hard work by everyone on the team to get here.
I’m about to dive back in on the third book, which is now more than a 1/3 of the way finished, which on this one means I’ve taken 300 pages of notes, dialogue, and roughed-out scenes (no, seriously, 300) and turned them into 140 tight pages. Some books are just like that. It’s like panning for gold.
Well, I started writing plays and scripts in sixth grade. “Snow Night and the Seven Dorks” & “United Bananas” were my first attempts. What I really wanted to be was a director. There were—my 12-year-old self-learned—a few main ways to become a director. You could start out as a cinematographer. I had no equipment. You could be a famous actor. I can act. But that doesn’t mean I can act well. Or…you can be a writer. In my comp classes, I wrote everything in present tense. One frustrated teacher finally wrote in the margin: “This is not prose! It reads like a screenplay.” So, that’s how I started.
You may have noticed that I haven’t posted in a while. Not just a lack of “Ourmaggedons,” but a lack of anything in general. Well, I’ve been working diligently to finish two new novels, one of which I am reading as an audiobook, the other that’s being read by one of my favorite narrators, and my dream choice as well. More on who that is later.
The point is, I’ve been busy. And I’ve been enjoying the process A LOT. It’s also meant I haven’t had as much time for my other dalliances. I’ll do some more comics as time permits. In the meantime, get ready for some cool stuff.
