Drawn hundreds of comics for 'the other guys'.
I am also writing stories for The Savage Sword of Conan magazine, published by Heroic and Titan comics.
I love making these stories.
Thank you for looking.

If I was 30 years younger I'd feel differently. Time to kill.
Now? I must be entertained or interested or I'm gonna get a little irritated.

I'm savoring sentences, paragraphs, pages. I'm savoring all the while I'm reading.
I'll think back on a great book while cooking, eating, driving, walking.
But I'm greedy. I know there are other great books waiting and I want to read them while I have the chance.

The results are what I'd expect of myself & of how many bestsellers have lasting acclaim.
I've read:

24% of the 750 most acclaimed since 1950.

But I'm not talking about forsooth or alas or trow or dole or even ergo. An author can write convincing period fantasy in plain English without sounding like Sir Walter Scott.

Just no effort to make it feel like it.
Feels too contemporary-- because it is.
Much closer to the Victorian era than the medieval.
At the very least, say "Have you come courting? (or romancing)?"
