With Christmas coming next week, it’s doubtful that I will be posting before 2010. I’d like to take the time to wish you all Happy Holidays, regardless of which you celebrate. Jacki and I are looking forward to time with loved ones and watching the little ones faces.
Wolves Of War is finally available on this website, just click on the merchandise link. Copies are $16.00 postage paid. Be sure to state how you want it signed.
So until next year, May God Bless you all.
Okay, catch-up time. I missed a couple blogs so it’s time to get back at it. First off I turned 50 on Nov. 21st, and the love of my life, my beautiful wife Jacki, threw one hellava party for me. I had no idea I knew that many people, let alone nearly 70 of them would come out and spend part of their Saturday afternoon to celebrate my birthday. Thanks to all of you who came by.
The next day I went skydiving to celebrate…2 miles up and 120 mph coming down! That was a rush. If you’ve done it you know, if you haven’t, you need to. I was accompanied on this adventure by my oldest son, Kris, my brother Rick (who came from NH, along with my mother to celebrate with me) and two brothers without bloodlines, Christopher Kahler and Joe Monks. None of us had ever been before, but all of us are ready to go again. If you are a Facebook friend, you can find video on my page.
It was a great time. Got to talk movies with CK regarding his remake of Plan 9 From Outer Space, under it’s original title, “Graverobbers From Outer Space.” I am a “Consulting Producer” on that project. It’s a serious horror movie take on the classic Ed Wood flick.
Time spent with Joe Monks is always inspiring. We always seem to have a project in the works that DEMAND conversation. Joe is getting good vibes concerning his latest film project, “Visions Of Sara”. Having read the script, I can’t wait to see this on the screen.
I shot a cameo for the upcoming Phil Herman movie, “Sickened”. I play a cable TV telephone operator. I’ve followed Herman’s work since my days writing for Draculina, though this will be my first appearance one of his movies.
We had a great Thanksgiving at our home, as I hope all of you did. Something about waking to the smell of turkey cooking brings me back to the days of childhood.
Still waiting for my copies of Wolves Of War, when they arrive I’ll put them up for sale on the site. If you can’t wait, you can get it on Amazon.com.
I’m still having a few issues with publishers regarding getting my novels (including the new one, “Friend” up and on Amazon. But it will come about soon, I believe.
I mentioned last update that I was reading “Among the Living: A Zombie Novel” by Timothy W. Long. This is Long’s debut novel, and a good little read. Not without its editorial mistakes, I must mention, but as a storyteller, Long shows some promising chops. I’ll be looking for his follow-up soon!

“Of Wolf and Man” by Christopher Fulbright.
The Ed Wood Box, a collection of short works and screenplays collected by Christopher Kahler, and given to me as a birthday present. A fan of all things Wood, I’m digging this.
As always, thanks for stopping by,
