You know, we’re still on hold but I’m tired of seeing my ugly, busted-up foot in the blog entry and I’m sure you all are, too. The exterminator is coming again tomorrow morning for another inspection and hopefully, hopefully we’re […]

An important safety tip to remember: the Universe does not understand what a rhetorical question is. For example, one might be tempted to go through a list of recent woes like losing a car, various health issues, and a bed […]

Well, as noted in the last blog, parasites are big on our minds at the Wolf homestead. Unfortunately the bed bug we found was not a cool, rogue loner after all. That bed bug had a family, man. He was […]

The title here is most likely nonsense, because–like many writers–I know just enough Latin to get myself in trouble. It’s a play on the far more meaningful “e pluribus unum” (“Out of many, one”) which was a favored motto of […]

I have to admit, I was a little bummed out this year when I confirmed the dates for Long Beach Comic Con 2019 and realized that it was the earliest it had ever been scheduled: August 31st and September 1st. […]

There are certain limitations that come with the conceit of Zombie Ranch as a “show within a show” style of narrative, but there are benefits as well. One of the greatest of these is that I have the option, at […]

Ever run across the Stealth Pun entry on TV Tropes? It’s mostly something where writers get to feel clever by inserting jokes into their work that they don’t explicitly call attention to, often in the form of sleazy puns or […]

So as you may have heard, Dawn got into a car accident recently. She’s okay, but when all was said and done there was still a sad casualty… Alas, our convention car–Ghostbuster decals and all–is no more. The damage inflicted […]

As you may know, our recent second Kickstarter was successfully funded, which means a Volume 2 trade collection is going to happen. First, though, I (perhaps unwisely) have consigned myself to going back through all the content involved and adjusting […]

In honor of the impending San Diego Comic-Con, which Dawn and I will be down in the thick of by the time you read this, I thought I’d take a moment for a recommendation. Believe it or not, it’s for […]

Well, that’s a load off. As of last Friday we had two days to go for our Volume 2 Kickstarter and although we’d raised a hefty chunk of change, we still were a few hundred dollars short of our goal. […]

Maybe it’s having doctors and science on my mind for the past few weeks, but this news warmed my heart: a grad student in Virginia just won the state beauty pageant (and semi-finals for Miss America) with a science experiment. […]

“The Moor’s abused by some most villainous knave./Some base, notorious knave” — Shakespeare, Othello (Act 4 Scene 2, Line 143-5).​ When you’re a writer you naturally think a lot about words: how they sound, where they come from, what they […]

I made tacos tonight, and it was good. Well, duh, Clint, you might say, tacos are good (unless you think tacos are not good, but let’s not go down that deviant road, shall we?). But the thing is that tacos […]

Hey, our Kickstarter finally launched! A little later than I originally planned, but it’s live and, er… kicking… Anyhow, remember some time back when I bragged about how Volume 2 was going to be so much easier to put together […]

There are a lot of dire fates out there in the world, but as far as writers go I can’t imagine one much worse than Dementia and its close compatriot in cognitive corrosion, Alzheimer’s Disease.  Terry Jones of Monty Python […]

I should technically be talking about this next week, but I guess I’m hype. Spring seems to be the time Dawn and I cast our reservations aside and actually feel like spending money to see big things hitting each other […]

So Game of Thrones is over. Didn’t watch, of course (no HBO here at the Wolf Den), but I read enough of a spoiler recap to figure out who won so I could have points of reference to the real […]

Last week I waxed more-or-less rapturous in my praise for Avengers: Endgame, but part of me wonders… what if I had really felt like they dropped the ball? What if, after 10 years and 22 movies, the MCU I had […]

So if you’re like us (and seemingly most of the world with nearby cinemas), you have now seen or plan to see an obscure little flick known as Avengers: Endgame. If you haven’t seen it yet and are still trying […]
