Hey all you sci-fi comic book fans,

Hoodratz In Space Issue #2 is set to land in a galaxy near you. Be at Dallas Comic Con this May to get the first copies of the issue. Erik Reeves and I will be in attendance, so be sure to get your copies signed while there.

2014 Is Off With A Bang

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Yes, I know, we're four weeks in, but, hey, when you're on a writing roll, you just have to go with it until it stops rolling. And, by george, that's what I've been doing. Here are some things to look forward to from myself and the creative genius of VearGraphics, Mr. Erik Reeves.

Hoodratz In Space Issue #2 Kickstarter was a success, so be on the lookout for Issue #2 to hit this year! Also, we have a special Hoodratz In Space serial just for GhettoMangaQuarterly that should hit later this year as well.

@ErikReevesArt is busy working on numerous projects, so you'll definitely be hearing about and seeing more of him and his fabulous works.

And, along with Erik Reeves, there are two up-and-coming projects we're working on that should blow comic book fans' minds. Wow, 2014 is hoppin', and we're just getting started.

Stay tuned!

Making People Hurt Is Hard

For me as a writer, creating characters I grow to love is what makes writing such a joy for me. I love giving life to a new name that I came up with or a new image of a person that came to me in a dream. I enjoy fleshing them out, giving them characteristics and quirks which make them unique.

What I'm finding difficult to do is give them major flaws, for which they have to work through themselves, overcome even, to write not just a good story, but a great story. Why?

Because making people hurt is hard to do.

Funny thing is, my critique group says I do bad guys really well. My group loves the bad guys in my stories because they say it's so easy to dislike them because I write them so well. Why? Because that's their purpose for being in the story. But the good guys? Give them bad habits? Make them hurt and cry and go through misery? Yeah, it has to be done. That's life, that's real. And to become a good writer, do it I will. But...

making people (I love) hurt is hard.

San Diego Comic-Con 2013 ROCKED!

I MADE IT! Finally, after several years of wanting and trying to get to San Diego, I made it this July. Wow! It was packed with people, but it was well worth it. I loved seeing all the new comic books that would be coming out later this year and next. I loved the panels I attended. I applaud both The 2013 Black Panel and the Women of Marvel panel, both were outstanding. Lots of great information and loads of inspiration to keep doing what I'm doing, continue learning and improving my craft and believe in myself and my work. Thank you to everyone who sat on a panel and gave of themselves, their knowledge and their time to the fans at SDCC2013.

So Much to Read, So Much to Write

Summer's here, and I'm having a hard time dividing my time between reading the many science fiction and zombie stories that have collected on my bookshelf over the last few months and writing the interesting and complex story concepts whirling around in my head.

Currently, I'm reading The Enemy by Charlie Higson, Star Wars Lost Tribe of the Sith, The Collected Stories by John Jackson Miller, Hidden Empire by Kevin J Anderson and The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan. If you've read them, great! (Don't spoil it for me, please.) If you haven't read them or are looking for some fun summer reading, grab'em, dive in and join me.

Summer days may be long, but when you have such awesome reading ahead of you, the day's are never long enough to just relax and get lost in a wonderful story. Happy reading!

Hoodratz In Space Fans, We Hear You!

Wow, May rocked for me. I attended #DallasComicCon for the first time as a vendor and it did not disappoint. Friday night we had plenty of people come by our Hoodratz In Space table. Saturday was even busier. And...we sold out of Hoodratz In Space Issue #1. People came by our table asking us if we had anymore because they wanted #Hoodratzinspace! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, picked up our comic-along with Peacekeepers and Throwd by the talented Mr. Erik Reeves-and asked "when is Hoodratz In Space Issue #2 coming out?"

Fans, we hear you! Stay tuned to Erik's blog, Artache!, and mine. We'll let you know when and where the next issue will drop. Next stop...SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON!! I've wanted to go for so many years and finally I'm going to the 2013 show. Look out for my tweets while I'm there.

And if you see someone wearing a Hoodratz In Space t-shirt, stop us and say hi! You, the fans, keep us going and we love meeting everyone of you.
