    It’s been a little crazy over here at the Infamous Scribbler cave. I’ve been doing way less scribbling, and way more hand-holding, editing, teaching, and other things than I had hoped. I’m about to hit my third week of teaching class, and I have to tell you, my kids are swamped and so am I.…

    Halfway down the crowded aisle in the Dragon*Con vendor’s hall, I spotted the signature backdrop for Twisted Dark – an imposing black, red and white banner with the eye-arresting cover of Volume One. Yes, it was the first day of Con, and I knew I couldn’t buy ALL THE BOOKS, but the comic book junkie inside…

    Just a small teaser for the next Conversation, this one with Neil Gibson, the evil genius behind Twisted Dark, Twisted Light, Tabatha, and various other offerings from Neil Gibson Comics. As I mentioned before, I was strolling through Dragon*Con when their team offered me a copy of Twisted Dark Volume One. “Just read the first…

    I’ve been back from Dragon*Con for about a day and a half, and still have a stack of things that need to be done, some of which really should not be waiting for me to write a rambling blog post, but what the heck. I’m on vacation. So, how was Con? Con was amazing, awesome,…

    …although it certainly didn’t seem like it was going to start out like so. I received my first three-star rating on Goodreads for Soft Target. I had an idea that it might be coming, as not everyone is going to like what I’m putting out there, and now that people who aren’t my friends, family,…

    So, I was very tempted to entitle this blog post “Silent But Deadly,” which is kind of an indicator about the level of humor I’m able to drum up nowadays. Things are going along pretty well, if a bit on the busy side. I thought once my grades were submitted for my Legal Aspects of…

    The past few weeks have been a little quiet, here on the pages of the ol’ Infamous Scribbler. Usually such a statement would be followed by the announcement of earth-shattering news, but I’ve got nothing like that. Instead, it’s been a quiet grind of work, getting ready to head back to the States for a…
