Hi, I’m Andy, and I write pulpy adventure fiction, mostly sci-fi and fantasy. I was exposed to Middle Earth (the animated Hobbit TV movie), Conan (Marvel’s comics), Star Wars, and D&D all within a 3 year span in the late 70s, and I never recovered. I blame that for me becoming an author. #TBBChat

On this day in 1980, the video arcade game PAC-Man was released. I dropped an unreasonably large number of quarters into PAC-Man machines over the years…

The box art for the classic Atari 2600 game Vanguard (one of my favorites) was painted by none other than Ralph McQuarrie. McQuarrie was the artist who did the concept art for the #StarWars movies, which defined the look of the most popular franchise in pop culture history.

This is the second griffin (gryphon?) book that I’ve read recently that has turned out to be a huge disappointment. Are there any *good* griffin books?

I just finished The Black Gryphon, by M. Lackey and C. Dixon. Spoiler-free review: a pretty massage therapist and his clients discuss their feelings while they all desperately search for anything resembling a plot. Bleh.

Spider-Girl is the best thing Marvel has produced in the past 25 years.

If Looney Toons have taught me anything, it’s that this cat just squeezed under a freshly painted black fence.

Stalker and Snake Eyes were my two favorites.

I enjoyed the finale, but that’s almost entirely because Jude Law is such a great actor. I agree that the show was aimed at a younger audience, but it was clearly meant as a love letter to the adventure movies of the early 80s that I loved as a kid. “Goonies in Space”, indeed!

The Lone Ranger will always be the coolest cowboy, and Clayton Moore will always be the best Lone Ranger.

Hey guys, I'm currently in need of funds as I have a daughter coming soon, so I'm opening up a mech kitbash commission.

Starting from $9, you may pick any parts from the mechs I listed to build your very own. Mech list in comments

Any effort to share is much appreciated.

That’s such a fantastic series, and you got a great bargain at that price!

It’s theoretically possible that President Lincoln might have received a fax from a Japanese samurai. All four elements (Lincoln, samurai, fax machines, and the TransPac cable) all existed at the same time.

I was invited to be a guest on the 42cast podcast to discuss the Disney+ series #StarWars: Skeleton Crew. I had a lot of fun discussing the show with the 42cast gang! I’ll post a link when the episode drops. What did you think of #SkeletonCrew?
