I'm a dreamer and voracious addict of stories. I love books, movies, series, and all tales of the strange and wonderful.

Getting ready for an evening of Heroquest.
Over the holidays I'm running a new campaign, hopefully completing Rise of the Dread Moon.

This is the cover for my upcoming sci-fi thriller Whispers of Static.
When the dead offer only silence, and massive corporations will do anything to keep it that way, two detectives must risk everything to uncover answers they may wish they had never learned.

The kookaburra sings it's final song as the day fades in a fiery golden sunset. Dusk whispers in cicada chirps of the night quickly approaching. The trees chatter amongst themselves in the mild breeze, and I find a long moment of serenity.

I've come to Perth for a wedding and where I'm staying it is incredibly peaceful.
It's basically a wee writers retreat.

The night before our 9 hour flight to Perth, my precious son brings me this. Apparently he just kept bending it until it gave. A creature of pure impulse.
I feel a headache coming on as my left eye twitches.

Playing Betrayal at House on the Hill with the Widows Walk expansion. One of my favorite rogue-like games.

So I made these guitar picks from old credit cards as a protest to not being able to buy single picks from the guitar store any more. Back when I used to frequent the stores you could get a range of individual picks for like $1 each. Now it's all packs of 4 minimum for $10.

My experience trying to play through the original Destiny again on PS4. When it works it's great, but it's about as stable as an armadillo riding a bull.

I finally got around to seeing this absolute ride of a Godzilla film. It's one I've been meaning to see for years and I'm so very glad I finally did. It's so campy and stupid and I love it so much. I think this is my new favorite Godzilla movie after minus one.

So I just discovered that this exists.
I'm now going down the rabbit hole of forgotten Robocop media.

When the Internet is playing up so my consoles can't connect, effectively pausing my digital libraries, I'm glad I have my old school collection.
I hate to suffer the weakness of digital games. Physicality will always be superior.
