Poetry
In 1985, a British Romantic Period Literature class changed my life. The poetry of Byron, Shelley, and Keats wakened in me a passion for writing. I determined to somehow make a career of it—and somehow feed my children.
Since then I’ve worked exclusively in publishing, first for game companies, now in education. I also continue to write, study, and promote poetry. It’s my opinion that poetry used to belong to the people, until academics stole it. It’s high time to steal it back from them.
My Invasion of the Saucer People pledge drive on Kickstarter.com is down to its final few days. Support has been pretty amazing—we’re currently 285% funded—but the higher we go, the more extras we can produce. For example, here’s Brad’s rough sketch of a Renegade Alien Queen we hope to release.

Here’s hoping we can reach that point, and rocket onward to the Robot Sidekick and the Alien Monkey limited-edition crew cards, as well!
Remember when www.CthulhuHaiku.com was launched months ago? Then, like R’lyeh, it seemed to sink into oblivion. But “that is not dead which can eternal lie.” And with strange aeons, even a poetry book may rise.
Here’s a gander at the gal who’ll grace the cover of Popcorn Press‘s Halloween project this year—Cthulhu Haiku: And Other Mythos Madness. Launching very soon as a Kickstarter project.
