<span style="font-size: large;">When I started writing comics for American Mythology's new The Three Stooges series over three years ago, I figured I had landed into some kind of comedy writing heaven. And it has proven to be nothing short of amazing over the course of those years. Really, how was I ever going to match writing new stories for The Boys? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">And then the unexpected happened, and I found myself on another short list, hoping to contribute to yet another legendary comedy team, one who set the marks for generations of comedians to follow!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0K-SpQZsyjWkqkVKnV-HXxTcEEXoiWe88Gq7isTHU3SR1WsjhEx0XSfNeYh5-aXDPAYXgjvln5vas7H6GvaJl5EARHyI2WWa-eW4g6JDgaSeQgAYCegqKfycieQxH8zW4U0yndC2VcbL4/s1600/Laurel+%2526+Hardy+Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1041" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0K-SpQZsyjWkqkVKnV-HXxTcEEXoiWe88Gq7isTHU3SR1WsjhEx0XSfNeYh5-aXDPAYXgjvln5vas7H6GvaJl5EARHyI2WWa-eW4g6JDgaSeQgAYCegqKfycieQxH8zW4U0yndC2VcbL4/s400/Laurel+%2526+Hardy+Cover.jpg" width="260" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">And, so, without further ado...here we are again. I'm humbled and excited to help celebrate the cherished works of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy as American Mythology prepares to launch their new Laurel & Hardy series this April. I'll be contributing stories to the upcoming books along with a group of amazing writers like Jordan Gershowitz, as we look to shine a spotlight on the duo's stage and screen antics.</span></div>

was actually months, and months have a way of turning into years.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It happens to us all at times, but every once
in a while, we’re still caught by surprise.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Need an example?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Glad you asked!</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">It was just another day at the American Mythology HQ.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I parked in the “supplemental” parking lot,
as usual, and had to take two buses, a subway, rickshaw, and zip line to make
it over to the offices. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The closer
parking lot is reserved for what editor-in-chief, Mike Wolfer, likes to call
employees who actually “do” things.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Whatever that means.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Anyway, I showed up extra early, say around ten thirty, and
made my way into the lobby, passed the bronze statue of comic scribe, the
notorious J.C. Vaughn.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>(It looks so life-like!
The statue – not the person.)<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I jumped
on the special <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ser-vice</i> elevator,
which I was told was French for really important people, and I headed on up.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Stepping out of the elevator, I made a beeline for my corner
office (known by some as stall #3).<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It
was there I heard the almost angelic voice of the unfairly expelled American
Idol hopeful, James I-never-agreed-to-be-in-this-bit Kuhoric, who gave me a
friendly reminder.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>“Hey, Check, you
better get those Stooges stories in for the Halloween issue.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Blah!”<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Halloween issue?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Didn’t we
already do a couple of those?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>And that’s
when it hit me like a 3 a.m. burrito! <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Three
years!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We’ve been churning out Three
Stooges comics for a whole three years! </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Impossible you say?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I
say thee nay, yon knuckleheads.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our
first Three Stooges comic, “The Boys are Back” came out waayyyy back in early twenty-odd
sixteen.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I don’t even think there was
internet back then.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The even better part
is that I’ve had a hand in just about every one of those issues.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Getting to contribute to just one book was a
writer’s dream for me, but to keep coming back and creating new adventures for

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, it's that time of year again. Halloween is soon upon us, and with that comes another year of Halloween ComicFest!! I ran across the interview I did last year, where I had the opportunity to talk to the fine folks who run HCF about American Mythology's current run on Casper The Friendly Ghost, which was also last years HCF contribution from AM. I had a lot of fun talking about everyone's favorite spookster, and I figured I'd repost the article here, since I don't think I did last year. We talk about why Casper appeals to so many fans, the direction AM took with the character, and my affinity for potting soil. Kind of. Just check out the article I've linked here if you want to read the whole thing. <br />

<br />
AND...…..definitely check out what American Mythology has in store for fans for this year's HCF! You won't be disappointed, especially if your a fan of ERB, or dinosaurs, or lost worlds, or space, or adventure, or cool heroes and villains, or good stories, or....you get the idea.<br />

Sadly, that plays true for SFFSat. This site has been a great outlet creatively for me over the years, and Laurel, we all owe a big tip of the hat to you for running it all this time. When I saw the post that this week would be the last, I knew I had to contribute something as a thank you for all the hard work that you've put into it, just for the sake of other writers and authors. When people say that the writing community is truly a unique place where instead of competition we strive to help and boost each other, they're talking about people like Laurel. So to end my personal journey on SFFSat, I figured that I'd go back to the beginning and re-post my very first snippet on the site, way back from May 19th, 2012. This is from my then manuscript, now published novel, Welcome To GreenGrass. I even resisted the temptation to edit it! Enjoy....and, oh yeah, for the last time, check out all the other tremendous contributors' work this week over at the main site - </span><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://scififansat.blogspot.com/" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: x-large;">Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday</a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 20px;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">“Thunderin’ newbies.” Traveller whispered as he racked a round into his shotgun. The sound of the weapon chambering echoed down the alley as the figures below him froze in place. Leveling his head into the weapon’s sights, Traveller spoke, “Load. Stun.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> A blast of energy exploded from the barrel, hurtling across the alley and hammering into Gatto’s chest. The creature hissed as it tumbled away from its intended prey, dropping to the ground as swirls of red light danced across its chest.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Finding cover behind a couple trash cans, Slythe peered into the corridor’s dark recesses. Watching his partner writhe in pain, his eyes widened with realization. “Aw no, not you.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Slythe sprinted in the direction opposite the blast. Jumping over his fallen partner, he bounded over a fence at the alley's end, his lupine silhouette outlined by the twin red moons overhead.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks again to everyone who followed me along on this site, and thanks to the many friends that I made here. I'll even refrain from my usual plugs, though if you happen to like the Three Stooges, make sure to check out the just released Three Stooges comic book by American Mythology with original stories by me in comic shops nation-wide and my upcoming stories in the new Pink Panther series starting in May, also from American Mythology. Sorry, that slipped out. Thanks Laurel - you're one of a kind! Enjoy the weekend everyone and see you in......... </span></div>

all! Welcome back to another Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday! It’s been a few
weeks since I’ve participated but I wanted to make sure I snuck one more in
before the end of the year. I’ve been busy working with a new comic book
company, American Mythology, and we’re getting ready to launch some fantastic
new titles coming this April starting out with Stargate: Atlantis<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Season Six and brand new The Three Stooges
adventures, some of which to be written by yours truly. Hopefully you’ll check
them out. Enjoy this week’s contribution from my latest novel, Maxx Fragg, VPI,
and before you’re done – stop over at the main site and enjoy all of this week’s

back to another Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday! I’m glad you’re here. You’re
just in time to share in another new set of great writing snippets from an
equally great group of authors over at <a href="http://scififansat.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">SciFiFanSat</span></a>. Stop over and make
sure you check them all out. This week, I’m still sharing from the opening

ghost hunters and not just because they’re chasing a ghost in the kitchen who
apparently likes or strongly dislikes microwave popcorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope you enjoy this week’s snippet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Maxx whispered in his friend’s ear, “We’ve been through this
a hundred times. Remember, it’s just a computer program. Think of it like a
level on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Planet of Punishment </i>and
kick some ghost butt.”</span><br />

through the door, shooting out between the two ghost hunters. The burning
appliance rolled across the living room floor, sputtering and sparking its last
breaths inches away from Travis and Debbie. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Maxx grabbed Tane as he waved back to Debbie. “We were just
coming up with a battle plan,” he said, pushing Tane into the kitchen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

shattering and wood breaking in the kitchen. He bent down to peek through the hole
in the door as a tidal wave of corn flakes spewed out, covering him in crumbs. </span></div>

back to another Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday - a place where fans of their
respective genres can stop by and get a quick fix of some quality writing by some
fine authors. Oh yeah, I post on here too sometimes. This week, I’m still
posting from my new novel, Maxx Fragg, V.P.I.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Maxx and Tane just came face to face with the spectral intruder in
Travis and Debbie’s apartment and they’re in full ghost-hunting mode – kinda.
In case you missed any of the previous posts, I put links to each of them at
the bottom of the page. I hope you enjoy. Make sure you stop over at the main
site <a href="http://scififansat.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">SciFiFanSat</span></a> and read all of
the great contributions this week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Maxx sneered as he fired. A stream of blue energy spewed
from the nozzle, splattering against the wall next to the ghost. Tane fired the
same pressurized current and watched as it exploded against the ceiling. The
rampaging wraith darted between the beams and soared over the terrified couple,
disappearing through a door leading into the kitchen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He pushed Tane towards the door. Cabinets slammed and an
alarm chimed as something exploded. Smoke billowed out into the living room and
Maxx swore he smelled burned popcorn. The ghost shrieked as something white poured
from beneath the door, soaking the carpet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

well into October, which means Halloween is fast approaching, bringing with it
all of the ghosts and ghouls and things that go bump in the night. What better
time to be sharing from my latest sci-fi / horror novel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Maxx Fragg, V.P.I.?</i> The ghost’s out of the bag and Maxx and Tane have
their hands full dealing with this glowing horror for my contribution to this
week’s Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday. I jumped ahead a bit to get into the
ghost-hunting action. Don’t forget to stop over at the main site <a href="http://scififansat.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">SciFiFanSat</span></a> and check out all the
work from some amazing authors. Enjoy.</span></div>

the living room.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Travis’ voice jumped two octaves. “Keep it away!”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Clawing over his girlfriend, Travis scrambled to the edge of
the couch and pulled his way to the floor.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Maxx shouted, “Debbie, keep him there and don’t move. It
reacts to sudden movements…and screaming like a girl.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She grabbed Travis’ collar and twisted him back to the
couch. Gripping him around the waist, she pulled him down and locked him in
place with a full nelson. His face forcibly stuffed into the back of the couch,
she called back to Maxx, “Okay, I got him, just get rid of that thing.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Maxx’s eyes adjusted to the light burst. Hovering above the
fireplace, a billowing green wraith snarled at them. Its unhinged jaw dropped
down to its chest as it wailed out a blistering scream, wisps of jade fog
flowing from its mouth. A viridian glow oozed from its skin as gossamer hair
stretched out, like tendrils feeling for prey. Blackened eye sockets slowly
scanned the room as its arms stretched and lengthened along the walls, each ending
in razor sharp claws.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Maxx hinted a small nod of approval.
What Tane lacked in the performing arts category, he made up for in the detail
he crafted into their targets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hi! Welcome back to another round of Science Fiction Fantasy
Saturday! There’s a chill in the air and the rays of summer are all but
forgotten but what better way to warm your thoughts than with a sturdy dose of
Sci-Fi / Fantasy writing. If you haven’t already checked out all of the
engaging contributions from this week’s authors, just shoot on over to the main
site at <a href="http://scififansat.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">SciFiFanSat</span></a>. This week,
I’m still sharing snippets from the opening chapter of my latest novel, Maxx
Fragg, V.P.I. Things are about to go down and Maxx’s terrified clients are having
second thoughts. </span></div>

just darted to the lady’s room first?”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“It’s too late for that,” Maxx said.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Maxx secured the detecting rod back in his bag and withdrew
a long barreled shotgun with a plastic cylinder attached to each side. “You can
put your hand down now.”</span></div>

running the length of the barrel. Maxx hit a button and the liquid energized,
bubbling as it flowed the course of the weapon. The couple simultaneously pulled
their feet up off the floor.</span></div>

reassure her with a half-hearted smile.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Debbie dug her nails into the couch. “I guess.”</span></div>

the rest of this job without any more problems. Debbie appeared on the verge of
crying and Maxx knew Tane’s concentration shattered at the sight of a girl’s
tears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention last weekend, I’m here and ready for my

and crossed the room. His six foot eight inch frame exerted considerably more
effort to move around the furniture as size fourteen <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>army boots left hefty impressions in the plush

really do appreciate it. This is a great site and hosts not only some fantastic

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Everyone had their own pre-conceived notions of how to get
rid of a ghost. Maxx heard them all, séances, sprinkle salt along the door,
burn sage, hire a bunch of meddling kids, craft some pottery together. He’d
probably find it all funnier if he actually believed in any of it.</span><br />

Standing next to
the couple, he pushed a switch on the base, holding it over his head. The staff
hummed and vibrated like a radioactive tuning fork sending palpable energy out
into the air around the room. Maxx swung it over their heads as they both
instinctively ducked. They were like two kids watching their first fireworks
display and Maxx was the guy lighting the wicks. He read the digital display on
the club’s handle. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Satisfied, Maxx brushed his hand through his spiked hair,
trying to express some fake concern. “You’ve definitely got a presence here.
Readings are off the charts.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Pulling a notepad from his tactical
vest, he scribbled down some notes. Maxx drew a smiley face with a frown and
tears streaming down both cheeks. Underneath his sketch he wrote <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Travis</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

partner, who shook his head in disapproval. Bending next to the couch, Maxx slowly
unzipped the bag. He was close enough to see the goose bumps on Debbie’s arm
rise with each click.</span></div>
