I did a long in depth interview with Kris Bertin, writer of the great Hobtown series, about my new book, what compels me about aliens, working with the unknown, and of course: day jobs.

Give it a read,

The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Ohhh yeah I did forget about that one. Didn’t really care for that character so I skipped it.

I dressed up as a 100 Bullets character for Halloween in freshman year of high school.
