Glad to announce book 6, Confrontation, in the Alien Roadkill series went live today!  It will conclude the "first season" of ARK, and hopefully there will be a season 2, depending on the feedback I get from you, my loyal readers.  I'll also be starting a mailing list (doesn't every author have one?) that will offer exclusive content to each subscriber.  I'm hoping to have that ready by December along with a white paper on the "History of the Hars."

Beautiful Kodiak Alaska-Netflix Interview

Writing as I sit looking out the window at beautiful Kodiak Alaska.  Visiting my son and family on the Coast Guard Base which is surrounded by stunning views and expanses of deep, blue ocean.  For the next ten days I'll be taking a break from all the instructional and new business pitch videos Eric and I have been cranking out for our clients. Having been newly released by my confidentiality agreement with Netflix, I can now discuss my series of interviews with "The Toys that Made Us" show they're currently producing.  I was privileged enough to have written the commercials that launched both the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the eighties-I was 12 ;-) and the Power Rangers, both for Playmates Toys.  I was very involved with TMNT advertising, writing most of the spots until '95, including creating the phrase "Heroes in a Halfshell." In our interview with the Netflix folks both my business partner, Eric Hanson - who was the art director f...
Starting book 6 next week (Alien Roadkill-Confrontation).  In this continuation of the Roadkill Saga, JB searches for the tractor-trailer full of the mind control medallions before the aliens can deploy them.  He will also find some new allies to help him in the struggle to prevent Har-Kankar from turning the Sun into a singularity.  The story will become darker as the menace takes on a different aspect as there are forces at work that even the Hars don't suspect. Hopefully, I'll be able to get this one out in a month or so–I've got several "instructional" videos to create for a prominent toy manufacturer first, but barring any other unforeseen circumstances book 6 should be "on the shelf" in August. ttfn, z
Well, here goes.  My first blog post.  This is a new experience for me, so until I get the hang of it, expect a few rough edges. First of all, I'm happy to announce that I've completed and published book 5 of the Alien Roadkill series, and I hope it will be as well recieved as the first 4!  I'll start on book 6 in a week or so after I catch up on everything I've missed while writing this one.  With luck, and depending on life's inevitable curveballs, I have it done by October. In December I'll be revising and re-releasing my first novel, "Djinn and Tonnick-Case File: The Demented Diamond," with some additonal material.  It was previously published by Double Dragon Books.  After I'm finished the Roadkill saga, I'll be following it up by the middle of next year with Book 2 in that series, "D&T-Case File: the Twisted Tomahawk." Currently working on some new Ben 10 products for Playmates Toys, which will hit the shelves early ne...
