Blackbeard: Legend of the Pyrate King

I picked up Blackbeard: Legend of the Pyrate King #1 from Dynamite Entertainment yesterday, and, man, was it good. As a naval historian, comic book reader/creator, and pirate fan, it was the perfect story for me: well-written, well-drawn, and a cover by none other than John Cassaday! The story is by Greg Halle and Eduardo Sanchez (of Blair Witch fame), written by Robert Place Napton and screenwriter Jamie Nash, with art by Mario Guevara. Who could ask for more? I highly recommend it.

Read Child of Fire!

You really should check out Harry Connolly’s debut novel, Child of Fire. I’m recommending it to everyone I know, including YOU now! Get it online or at you local book store. You won’t be disappointed.

Another week, another contest…

I’m in the midst of another writing contest, this time the Screenwriting Expo’s Cyberspace Open. It started with a prompt at 5:00 p.m. on a Friday, and we had until 9:00 a.m. Monday to turn in a five-page scene. I got a high enough score to make it to the quarterfinals, and Round Two was even tougher. We were given the prompt at 5:00 p.m. Thursday night, and had to have our five pages in by 9:00 a.m. Friday morning. If I make it to the finals, I’ll have an hour and a half (yes, that’s ninety whole minutes) to write five pages based on the next prompt. Fun stuff!
