Fun fact: in addition to novels, sometimes I write short stories! If you're interested in such shenanigans, check out Dragons of a Different Tail, Enchanted Tales and Twisted Lore, The Colored Lens: Summer 2024, The Strange Task Before Me, or You Can't Hide from Chriskahzaa.

You won't thank me, but you will blame me. Excelsior!

Okay, friends: give me your ultimate comfort reads. What are the book/stories/characters you turn to when times are tough or overwhelming and you want to go to a place/hang out with characters that make you feel happy, or feel familiar, or feel comforted?

Ol' Larry liked to get himself into some scrapes.

All right, my friends--hard question time. You can visit one place/time from a book (or comic, or graphic novel--anything you've read). Where/when do you go?

(I say this as I continue my nearly decade-long sojourn into 60s/70s Marvel New York City and thinking that would be a pretty fun place to go...)

We really need to bring back the sandwich board as a primary means of advertising. It's a lost art.

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION: It's a perfect spring day and you've got nothing but time to read...what's your reading beverage of choice?

It's a delight to spend time with Adam, Vic, Bobby, and company again.

I don't normally dig fake boobs, but for Odette, I'll make an exception.

I didn't hate Namor in that issue? Am I getting soft in my dotage? (Insert Viagra joke here?)

I'm a big Pepper fan.

This is some heavy stuff and pulls of the incredible feat of somehow making me feel even MORE depressed about the world around us.

Friends! I hope you're all doing well amidst trying times for us collectively. Just a reminder: you're awesome.

What book are you most looking forward to that's coming out later this year? For me, it's gotta be HG Parry's The Witch Below the Dreaming Wood!

There are about a billion things I'd like to go back in time to see, but high on that list would be a Shakespeare play in the 1500s.

Carney just can't get out of his own way...

A good drinking game would be whenever Pendergast's accent is described as "buttery."

Riddle me this, my bookish friends: what's a book that's stayed with you for a long time, months or even years after you've read it? One that you just can't get out of your head because the characters were so indelibly crafted, the plot was so mind bending, the worldbuilding so detailed, or for any other reason?

Hit me, and tell me why!

Doom demanding that Reed call him "master" has some serious kink vibes going on...

I want a Book of Doors. If you have one, please send it to me. Thank you.

It's COLD, snowy, and icy outside...seems like a perfect day for a good book and a wee dram.

The home library is open...come on over and join the fun!

Somehow this series just got better because Huchu dropped a Van Halen reference.

Hey, today's my birthday, so do me a favor, will you?

Read something. Be kind to someone. And do something to make yourself happy.

THANK YOU!

This is like Ropa Moyo and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Really Craptacular Day. She just cannot catch a break.

This is kind of a funny place for Thanos to make his debut.

Just so you know: you're killing it. You're an awesome human being because you read books, which makes you thoughtful and cool and interesting and someone I want to be friends with. So, good work!

Tell me about what you're reading now, or what you're excited to read next!

One last ride with Ropa Moyo...

I'm sad that it's coming to an end, but very excited to see how this plays out.

This series is FANTASTIC.

Life has been lifing pretty hard of late, my friends, so I've been less present here than I'd like. But, I'm still lurking and enjoying your fabulous reviews and eternally grateful for your friendship, creativity, and passion for stories!

Happy (early) New Year! Here's to a great 2026 and endless stories to share. And for those who follow my writing, hopefully 2026 will bring some news...

This book is beautifully melancholy.

I think that if I was the Invisible Man, I'd say, "I'll see myself out" every time I left the room, just to confuse people.

This Wein/Simonson run is absolutely fantastic.
