It’s a five-day weekend for me, which means yesterday was the beginning of my little break. I took it easy and got some reading done. One of the things I read was this interview with Colson Whitehead. Whitehead is one of those people I’ve followed for years without ever really reading. And that needs to […]
[Another] Interview with Mark Hosack
Mark Hosack is a busy guy. When he’s not busy helping raise three young daughters, he’s writing screenplays, directing movies, editing movies and trailers, and scouting locations for commercial shoots (in fact, this interview was done while he was on location shooting a commercial for a major restaurant known for their breakfasts). So why not […]
Of Ups and Downs
My wife and I don’t watch much television…at least in a traditional sense. Oh, sure — yesterday it was cloudy (and not a bazillion-and-seventy-two degrees outside), and we wanted to watch something soothing. We ended up watching a few episodes of Ask This Old House. A couple weekends ago, we consumed Stranger Things in two […]
Shawn Kupfer is Full of Fear and Anger — An Interview
When we last left Shawn Kupfer, he was going Supercritical. These days, he’s still writing the 47 Echo series, with a big change in the way it’s being published (spoiler alert, but not really: he started his own electronic press). He’s also added a weekly podcast to his already busy schedule of blogging. This time […]
Shawn Kupfer Has Gone Supercritical

This time around, we’re talking about Supercritical, the latest book in his series. No bloated intro, here…let’s get straight to the interview! The Interview Welcome back, Shawn! First up, the […]
Interview with Mark Hosack
I met Mark Hosack twelve years ago last month. This was my first impression of the guy: “I’m finally not the only one in the room with mad scientist hair!” It was a crew meeting for Pale Blue Moon, an independent film Mark was preparing to direct. I was there as a production assistant on […]
Alex George Interview (About A Good American)
One of my most cherished memories is sitting at my great grandmother’s dining room table, listening to her tell her story about coming over from Sicily to America. Growing up in and then near Chicago, I was raised around a lot of people from different places. When I moved to Texas in my teens, I […]
Interview with Shawn Kupfer
I first heard of Shawn Kupfer when his book, 47 Echo, was reviewed on The Nerdist blog. So imagine my surprise when shortly after, he moved to Texas and not only ended up working where I work, but in the same department. And not just the same department…but on the same project! Small world… Shawn […]
Interview About Hell Comes with Wood Paneled Doors
I knew of Shawn Kupfer through a Nerdist review of his book, 47 Echo, before I met Shawn in real life. Shawn is a writing machine. Whether it’s at his day job as a technical writer or writing novels day and night, he’s a very busy guy. I recently sat down for an interview Shawn […]
