Several years ago I wrote TIGERHEART which remains, to some degree, my favorite novel ever. After I read it to Caroline, she wanted to know what happened next. And together we wrote the sequel, FEARLESS, which is now available on Kindle and Nook and shortly in paperback. Please buy it so I don’t have to have another stroke in order to get people purchasing my work. Thanks.

Hello. Phyllida Archer-Dowd here. As one of the founders of the Children’s Protectorate Council, I have once again been allotted space in But I Digress. This is, of course, a self-serving action on Mr. David’s part, since he has become so enmeshed in his stage activities that he has little enough time to attend to his proper writing duties. Indeed, it is not surprising to me that he was drawn to 1776, a musical “entertainment” that degrades our founding fathers, rife with profanity and jokes about such riotous subjects as urination, lust, and prostitution.

I don’t make a habit of discussing projects I’m working on in this column, but I’m involved with two projects that are off beat, even for me… so you know that it’s gotta be pretty offbeat. So I thought that I’d take this opportunity to tell you about them.
The first is a project that’s got not only the attention of the national media, but even Tony Isabella itself… so you know that it’s got to be a quality endeavor. I am speaking of The Wedding of Popeye and Olive, a one-shot that I wrote for Ocean Comics.

It was recently reported that Columbia-Tristar has optioned the classic comic series Nexus as part of its children’s programming. Both Mike Baron and Steve Rude, the series’ creators, are aboard with Rude signed on as a producer and Baron as the scripter.
I remember the first time I saw Nexus in development as an animated property. Somehow I knew that, in that particular instance, it was doomed from the get-go.
I had been brought to Hanna-Barbera studios to meet with an executive regarding a project that seemed, to me, to have tremendous potential: An animated feature film of Space Ghost.

Lots of fans are writing me (mostly via e-mail) asking what I think of hypertime.
Now for most of America, there are various definitions of hypertime. April 15 represents hypertime to many, while for others it’s the last couple of shopping days before Christmas. But for comics fans, hypertime is the concept introduced in the second issue of the excellent Kingdom, Mark Waid’s follow-up to the Kingdom Come limited series.
I know I’m wasting my time. I’m putting this up on my website, Twitter feed and Facebook and there will STILL be people declaring they couldn’t find me at the convention. But the hëll with it; I’ll put up my schedule anyway.

The first time I saw him was on television.
I was a kid, and the local news was doing coverage of a comic book convention in New York, one of the now-legendary Phil Seuling conventions. And there was Jack Kirby himself, signing autographs, talking to the TV reporter about the comic fans. The coverage of the convention made it sound tremendously exciting.
