When we wrote our 80s buddy cop Scott Maverick thrillers, we wanted to capture the vaporwave feel with the covers.
All three were created in Adobe Illustrator, except for the flags. We will be recreating those, so the files will be fully vector, and scalable to any size for printing. #bookcover

I want to talk about a bonkers movie that many of you haven’t heard of, much less watched: The Man Who Killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot. It’s a 2018 adventure drama starring Sam Elliott.

I liked the show Fringe. It fit in the void that X-Files left, and had some wild ideas.
But the weirdest thing for me was in later seasons whenever they would say “Walternate” with a straight face.

I need some help! It’s time to plan for this year’s pumpkin, but I don’t have any ideas. I normally pick a pumpkin first and plan around that, but the past two years I had the idea first and found a suitable pumpkin.
