One day, some 20 or 25 years ago, while watching tv, a lame auto insurance commercial appeared on screen. It must have been “Lincoln Insurance” or some such place because after showing black and white footage of old cars crashing into each other, the disembodied head of Abe Lincoln popped up in the corner ofContinue reading ““The Door” — spring, 2001″

By this point, I had the distribution/solicitation/marketing thing down pat.  I put together for Mascot, a story set in a bizarre sector of the Twilight Zone.

That first half wasn’t so hard (or entertaining), was it? So far, so good in this experiment where I post up a blog for 366 days straight.  Once again, this was basically me just relating pretty much everything in one way or another about me. But I find that I’ve related most of my stories,Continue reading “Half a year down, half a year to go.”

A million years ago, when Mel Gibson was an unknown, before eventually being hated, he made a low budget flick straight outta Australia (former prison continent), called Mad Max. It was a decent film but I barely remember any of it.  Max had a wife and child who were brutally run down by a bikerContinue reading “The Mad Max Quadrology, or- “How to Make an Interesting Car Chase””
