Detailing the process of writing novels about the ancient days of Kobol, as referenced in Battlestar Galactica, plus other novels and stories. Expect pictures, Kobollian/Colonial history lessons and much more. Expect SPOILERS of both "Battlestar Galactica" and "Caprica."
Next, here's an observation I made after seeing an episode of The Twilight Zone:
This is a still from the 1964 Twilight Zone episode “Caesar and Me.” Jackie Cooper plays a down-on-his-luck ventriloquist with an evil (maybe possessed) dummy named “Little Caesar.” Obviously modeled on gangster Al Capone, the dummy even has a scar on its face. The dummy talks the man into committing crimes.
This is a still from an episode of the fantastic Batman: The Animated Series. The man is The Ventriloquist and he first appeared in print in 1988. The dummy is named “Scarface.” Obviously modeled on gangster Al Capone, the dummy even has a scar on its face. The dummy’s personality derives from the cracked psyche of the operator and it convinces him to commit crimes.
Watching Twilight Zone recently, my mind immediately went to pitiful Arnold Wesker. Twenty-four years separate TZ and Batman and I can’t help but think that a seed was planted …
Next up, here's Jill St. John, who played one of the Joker's hench-people in an episode of old school Batman wherein she doubled for Robin:
And here's Carrie Kelly, from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns:
Coincidence? Maybe.
Next, here's a great little video:
That's Jimmy Fallon providing the voice of Pee-Wee Herman.
I'm still working on Sexcalation ... it's been tougher to write than I expected.
Once I get it finished, edited and published, I plan to turn my eye toward Lords of Kobol - Book Zero. I'll also be posting random things, too, like the Godzilla board game I made with my son.
Since I'm venturing into erotica, it seemed best to keep it all separated. This is a post to let you know the other stuff exists.
Sexcalation Books.
Yes, plural.
I have the long-form novel that will be published in the next few weeks. It's simply titled Sexcalation. A semi-semi-autobiographical version of (parts) of my life, it's a funny and sex-filled story about a married couple who get involved with their neighbors. The proper term for their relationship is polygynandry.
Once that's published, I'll begin a semi-regular series of porn books (excuse me, erotica) that will feature sexy tales with various settings, characters and so on. There may be themes and there may not.
In the next few days, I'll be posting the cover for the book and a steamy chapter or two from the novel on the blog.
