In these work in progress updates I’m going to try and share what it’s like when I write and launch a new book. I’ll try to leave out all the boring bits where it’s just me typing. Dumb White Husbands vs Zombies: The Idea All stories start with an idea. Or a deadline. This one [...]
A Weird Thing About Book Reviews
I read a bit of a review of Dan Brown’s new book the other day. It essentially said that it was highly entertaining but that it wouldn’t receive any literary awards. Duh. But it made me realize something that is uniquely stupid to book reviews. A book is rarely reviewed for what it is supposed [...]
If … with Bears
I’ve always loved Kipling’s poem If. It has such a great message for growing boys that I wanted to share it with my sons. But it’s a little lofty for kids that young. So, I added bears and that got their attention. Here it is, Danger Bear in Rudyard Kipling’s If. There’s 45 original illustrations [...]
There’s only one answer
I’m not sure what’s going on. A year ago I was selling thousands of copies of my books each month. Now, I’m lucky if I sell 10 a day. I know that Amazon has changed some things. A lot of things. So that could be it. It could be the world playing with me. Now [...]

New cover day!
I love new cover day! Here is the cover for my next book The Bulletproof Adventures of Damian Stockwell: Terrors of Tesla. The original illustration is by the same artist that did the cover art for Horrors in Honduras. She’s pretty awesome. Crystal Roznik added the lightning and did the layout. It’s not too late [...]
Prisoner’s Dilemma: A Duck & Cover Adventurette
Prisoner’s Dilemma: A Duck & Cover Adventurette by Benjamin Wallace “Have you ever been in one of these fight-to-the-death things?” There was nothing remarkable about the man that asked the question. Several piercings protruded from his face. His hair was but a blue strip down the center of his head and a collection of nicks [...]
