London folks, are there any great places for a late lunch near Forbidden Planet (Megastore on 179 Shaftesbury Ave)

A fantastic series edited by a terrific gent.

My "classic" is Basil Poledouris' Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. My more modern one is Beasts of the Southern Wild, by Dan Romer and Benh Zeitlin.

Jeez, ONE issue? Maybe "Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut" (part 2) Amazing Spider-man #230 Loved that issue.

Saw LIGHTS (Canadian pop electronica icon) tonight with my kid. Fun show. Very energetic and enthusiastic - great crowd energy.

I don't think I've ever posted some of these original characters sketches by Tomás Aira for Dead Money. Early drafts for Moses Booth. "MOSES BOOTH, a Southern aristocrat and Civil War veteran running from his demons."

Pre-Launch page for KS campaign for Dead Money (issues 2 & 3!) is up. Excited to show off Tomás' beautiful art as the tension builds! Please sign-up! If we hit 100+ followers before launch, it improves our chances with the mighty algorithm immensely. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

This is fantastic.

And while you're working, consider @rdansky.bsky.social's "5 Scotches for Beginners." www.patreon.com/posts/5-scot... (I've had all of these but the Monkey Shoulder. And mad props for the Glen Moray, which is a great dram for $.) WebMD tells me I should drink a dram a day for better heart health.

What cool things are you working on at the moment? Post some info here! We are deep in the weeds on Dead Money #2. I'm learning how to do the lettering (!) and it's been both a challenge and a blast.

Important Life Advice sought! Say I'm taking the 14 year old to see The Offspring and Bad Religion tomorrow night. What t-shirt should I wear?! Iron Maiden (several to choose from) Bruce Dickinson (solo) Halestorm Moist The Warning Boywonder James McMurtry

Just saw the FBDM highlight from the 26th Bédélys Awards spotlighting Natacha Novem and their cool sounding SF graphic novel, "I, the People." Going to keep an eye out for it when winter thaws and I can leave the house again. :)

Mutual aid request:, if you can help out my friend Ross Isaacs, he could really use it. He works in the restaurant service industry in New York, doesn't really have a safety net, and is dealing with some absolutely horrible medical issues.

Got a crown today ("I am the king of rock..."). Had to get extra numbing, because I'm such a sensitive soul. Can't drink my coffee too hot, because I can't feel heat (cold, pain, joy...), but if it's cold, it's just psychologically unsatisfying.

I'm excited to announce a writing discussion coming to my channel on Tuesday, November 25th at 9 p.m. ET! Join @premeemohamed.com, @brandoncrilly.bsky.social, @valerievaldes.bsky.social, and me for "Crossing The 49th: Canadian and American Authors Talk Shop," about North American publishing in 2025!

Do I know any comic fans in Montreal?! My Uncle is having a release party for his comic and you should check it out! #comics #indie #montreal

An ALL-DIFFERENT horror story about the video game industry...

Looks like it was a fantastic event!

ME: Do you think I should have to repair a refrigerator 4 times in 7 years? SAMSUNG REP: I'm really sorry Jesse, If you are looking to purchase the new unit, I can check and help you with the promotions and discounts available right now. ME: <Blink blink>

A vampire that's not Dracula.

Would the guy who wrote "The Video Game Writer's Guide to Surviving and Industry That Hates You" lie to you? (No, no he would not.) Also in these pages is an essay on Pitch Black (before Vin Diesel was a star!) written by Devinder & me

Polishing up a (long) short story about a magical pool hustler to submit to someone I met at CanCon.

I read that as Secret Six Barbies...

Fun trailer from one of the 32 authors in the Subversive Sci-Fi Evolution anthology project: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA2K...

Up early to help the boy carry his instrument - a bloody tuba - to the bus stop. On way back met / helped a neighbor move a dresser across the street. I deserve a double coffee.
