I’m listening to Howling Wolf right now, as sometimes, you just need the toughest electric blues possible.

Half Dead
That’s the cover image, by Afua Richardson, not to be confused for being the artist of all the rest of it, Jimmy Bott…
Half Dead was a result of us saying: “What people seem to want these days is just people fighting vampires and kicking ass… and vampires that kick ass… What if we just wrote a comic that was nothing but vampire ass-kicking, just to see what would happen and if anyone would want it?”
Everyone wanted it… sort of…

The League of Mystery Science
“The League of Mystery Science” is just a short story I wrote, a love letter to the original Mystery Science Theater 3000 that will hardly make any sense to anyone but MST3K superfans.

Mirages: Tales from Authors of the Macabre
http://www.amazon.com/Mirages-Authors-Leigh-M-Lane/dp/1617208442
Wanted to post about this anthology: Mirages: Tales from Authors of the Macabre, which has in it a short story that Barb and I wrote (mostly Barb).
The reviews are very nice, and you’ll notice that people often mention that they like our (mostly Barb’s) story, so please consider taking a look! It’s available in both paperback and digitally…
There’s a Joe R. Lansdale story in there too, if that’s the sort of thing that interests you.

Gun Street Girl
Gun Street Girl was– and IS– Barb’s comic about a lesbian gal, Liz, and a street magician (much less fancy than a stage magician, but he does real magic), Eddie Caution.
It was online during the very start of the webcomic era, then it was published by a publisher called Bedazzled Ink that specialized in LGBT+ stories, but it was their first graphic novel and they didn’t really know how to market it, so we took it back, but we and artist Ryan Howe had a crowdfunding Kickstarter very recently, with the help of our (graphic novel) publisher, Lucha Comics– and it made! Here’s the link to the Kickstarter update where Barb thanked everyone: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/luchacomics/gun-street-girl-action-magic-and-monsters-in-london/posts/4354765
