When you get photos back from a modeling gig and they're a lot more inadvertently dirty-looking than you anticipated. I mean, flattering and all, but I had no idea.
I love fan art, even made with a character generator, and these are cracking me up. To see Kate in full ballerina mode with a SPIKED MACE is killing me. Of course she'd have a spiked mace as chibi.
Now I'd really love to see the Indestructibles as a manga.

Puttering away here in the middle of the night working on book 3 of the Indestructibles, which hit a pretty cool sales number today (I'm still not retiring, but copies are still moving). Book 3 is tackling one of my favorite comic book concepts, alternate timelines, and while I'm actually kind of intimidated about it (and also really worried about taking the heroes out...

In a little, unexpected month-end surprise, my publisher is selling nine autographed copies of the Indestructibles for $9 (free shipping). Not sure if anyone here is into YA superhero novels, but figured I'd throw that out there just in case. Not sure what inspired the nine copies thing, but I'll take any promos they want to do...
And I had no idea it took place in Galway. Holy shit what a punch in the heart. The entire first episode was like going back to my old neighborhood.

The fact is I ranged between depressed and outright suicidal for a good ten years and I'm lucky to still be here, and I know how...

I live tweeted #theflash tonight and then watched political coverage and I am so happy live tweeting CW shows is a more important part of my career right now than watching people make frowny faces to pander for public opinion. I may have to live tweet Arrow tomorrow night just to cleanse my palette.
Did I mention The Indestructibles made this 2014 best superhero novels list? I'm insanely proud of this. The folks on this site don't mess around. To be on their top five list of the year was incredibly important to me.
Are you a superhero reader? What were your best books of 2014?
Publisher: You working on Book 3 tonight?
Me: Of course! (Actually playing Injustice: Gods Among Us again. But I mean book 3 IS about alternate timelines. THIS IS RESEARCH I SWEAR)
