Comic Book Pages for Sierra's Ground Control -- Years ago I was assigned to write scripts for a pair of 3-page ads which were going to appear in a European gaming magazine. The ads were to be in comic book form--I had three pages to introduce a character and hint at the conflicts that he or she would face in the game (and by extension, of course, the challenges that the player would face while playing him/her). I thought it might be interesting to see the original pages of the script and contrast them to the one or two finished pages that were eventually published in the mag--complete with all the dialog translated into German.

Track Zero has now released two of the commentary tracks that we have recorded for the under-appreciated genre films of the 1980's. The first was for the John Carpenter classic "They Live"; click here to give it a listen. The second was for Graham Baker's "Alien Nation".

Interviews

Hi Sci Fi: Radio CJSF here in Vancouver has a weekly talk show on science fiction, fantasy and horror, which airs every Friday night at 5:00. Irma Arkus and her co-host caught me at V-Con 30 to chat about Joe Bob's Anti-Oprah Book Club, Pretty-Scary.net, Sword of the Stars--and why I like genre fiction in general. Click here for the interview--a little scratchy, but good stuff.
"Christmas With the Scream Queens": The boys at Bum's Corner did an interview with me in December of 2005 for their annual "Christmas with the Scream Queens" feature. A number of women in horror were interviewed, including actresses, directors, producers and horror journalists.
Developer's Diary: The Races of Sword of the Stars: The folks at GameZone ran a series of Developer's Diaries from the makers of Sword of the Stars. This was my first entry, on the background fiction I wrote for the game.
Developer's Diary: Writing for Kerberos Productions: My second dev diary for Sword of the Stars, including some general info about being a writer for the computer gaming industry and some specific comments on my role in making this game, and how it differed from that of most background fiction writers in this business.
