Wow – is it really eight months since I last posted anything in the RevSF blog space – That was not intentional. Sorry I’ve been away for so long.<\/p>\n

So if anyone is left who might actually read this thing, what have I been up to.<\/p>\n

Well simply put, I’ve been writing – a lot.<\/p>\n

2009 has simply been something of a break through year for me in terms of actually getting paid to write stuff.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest project I have been involved in is the one I mentioned in my last post all those months ago.<\/p>\n

STAR TREK: A comics history <\/span>is now done and on its way to a store near you in the not too distant future. The fine folks at Hermes Press gave the book its official launch at San Diego Comic-Con where we had about 30 advance copies flown in.<\/p>\n

Initial reaction from those who picked up a copy at the con was very positive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hermes Press also used the con to debut its reprint collection of the old Gold key TIME TUNNEL<\/span> comics. I wrote the introductory essay for the book and had great fun rewatching the old show, plus researching the history of time travel TV shows.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While at SDCC I spoke at length with the publisher at Hermes Press about various future planned projects, some of which I can’t talk about yet – but we have another book scheduled for 2011 and another tentatively on the schedule for 2012. <\/p>\n

The other main project that’s been taking up my time is as the regular writer on the Disney*Pixar "World of CARS" comic book series <\/span>for BOOM! Studios. The last issue of the first 4 issue story arc has just shipped, and I’ve scripted most of the second four issue arc. We’ve had approval for a third four issue arc (you might have spotted a trend) with another two waiting in the approvals pipeline.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There’s also a couple of other Disney*Pixar related pitches waiting on approvals.<\/p>\n

Over the last year I also seemed to have developed something of a niche in writing and producing comic books for companies and various organizations. I’m currently working on a very cool corporate comics project that I hope I can share more information on before too much longer.<\/p>\n

The writing thing also seems to be picking up in relation to my day-job with several articles appearing in various industry rags over the last few months, plus a technical \/ business book planned for release around May 2010.<\/p>\n

SO that’s a quick round up of what I’ve been up to. I will try and make sure that I don’t neglect this blog again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
