I did an interview with comicbook.com a few weeks back talking about FOBIA (on sale now) and also my opportunity to write for an upcoming issue of Speed Racer with Mad Cave Studios. I met some people from Mad Cave at SDCC and they were extremely cool and gracious in helping me get this writing gig!

I finally put together a website where people could pick up a copy of Fobia vol 1. If you missed the Kickstarter, you have a chance to scoop up one of the remaining copies. There's also a digital download and a behind the scenes Zine on how the book was made.

Lately I've been reading Something Wicked This Way Comes.
This is my first Ray Bradbury book. I'm about halfway through it and I think I'm in love.
It's short, it's nostalgic. I love the Midwest setting.
Maybe the perfect Halloween book?

Having just discovered Robert Bloch, he is quickly turning into one of my favorite authors. Been reading his short stories and they're all good.
