Would anyone want to see concept art for this series?
Pilot Script: I wrote a terrible script that I'm in the process of rewriting but I applied what I learned to my new pilot script Coven Country. Any producers can hit me up if interested.

If anyone knows someone who works with My Chemical Romance lets connect?
Cross-Media Writing is where I fell in love with themed entertainment and writing for attractions. My first pitch was for an experience based off the Black Parade Album.

I've been meeting with career professionals across different fields to get their advice on what direction I should be taking. From screenwriters to comic editors, I've heard so much helpful advice. But now I'm looking for those working in THEMED ENTERTAINMENT to pick their brains about their careers

Oh hey, the new cover
Inspired by Aztec mythology and Mexican folklore, Travis Muñoz and the Fire of the Aztecs blends baseball, best friends, sun gods, and epic adventure into a thrilling middle-grade graphic novel.

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Tristan Strong.

Gaming hot take: The reason Superman games are so hard to make is that the best storytelling for him is like rpg

But everyone understandably wants action

His story strength is character work not his powers
