Here's the logo for Horsemen. When the cover page is all done, Cary Kelley is going to attach it to the page. I think he did an awesome job on the logo, it is going to look great on the cover Chris drew and inked. Josh and I got a look at Rich Cardoso's flats, the coloring is going to look awesome when it is all done. Put that together with Cary's logo and the cover is really going to pop!

Curiosity killed the cat?


Of course it wasn't curiosity that killed the cat... but fire sure came damn close.

That is, or was, Murphy. He was a grand alley cat with a torn ear who put a 110 pound dog in his place everyday. Sadly, curiosity didn't kill the cat. Cancer did... but only after surviving two years after the vet said he should have been dead in a month. He rocked.   


Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde, a novel.


Basically, go read this book if you haven't. The voice is lean and without too much exposition as to mirror the world Jasper creates, a world in which a color hierarchy has been created and much lacks color. And no one dares challenges it. Until....

It does start a tad slow but it is intriguing. And I'm glad he doesn't let the old " Show don't tell" BS get in his way. (Right now only successful authors can afford to do it but I'm glad they do. Just ask Lee Childs what he thinks of it) In my opinion, it's "Show but when appropriate Tell, if it enhances the text." In any case, Mr. Fforde is a wonderful writer and I don't say that without serious consideration. There are few wonderful writers.  

Actually, read all of his books. Happy reading.

PS: if you have any suggestions for speculative fiction, please comment and let us know. We're always out for a new good novel. Who knows, we might even review the book and pass it along our through our sphere of influence. 

A lesson for bullies.

This bully forgot a few things. 1) Don't taunt with your shirt off. 2) Beware the kid who walks slowly up to you. 3) Don't get knocked the f%&k out.
