There was life for some of us before all this, and there will be life for some of you after this (me, I'm sure I'll be long gone).

Gathering up & shelving together a few movie novelization/tie-in paperbacks in the massive collection I've got. Decades of collecting, but never put 'em all in the same place.
Here's the start of the Hammer Films shelving; two Monarch Paperbacks, no less!

Finished this book 6 years ago; still haven't published it. Too many misgivings, but a lot of time has passed, so maybe this year. Cover art by me (painted in 1984 for Kim Thompson, AMAZING HEROES interview w/Alan issue); cover design, logo Cayetano "Cat" Garza, Jr.

Whew! Done with the Demon for now. Delivered two full text pieces, some artwork (despite my 'no more art for DC' decision, these were 'on file' & existed already, so WTF) for the September 2026 DEMON OMNIBUS for DC. Sounds like it's going to be a pretty magnificent volume, overjoyed to be part of it

We got this into the pipeline, print proofs ordered. Once we receive the print copies for final proofing of the physical publication, we will let you know when it'll be available later in February. Fingers crossed!

We picked up our son Danny's repaired guitar—THIS guitar—yesterday.
Marjory bought this guitar 47 years ago, passed it on to her son Michael some time ago, & before Michael died, he gave it back to his Mom.
She then gave it to Danny, & he loves it.
