Water Not Sand
"They want leadership. They're so thirsty for it they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand." So says Lewis in Aaron Sorkin's wonderful film The American President. In the movie they're talking...
A Bit of Delicious Fun
I had a bit of fun having my Shepard learn to cook in my Mass Effect story. Then I thought -- why not have some more fun and actually upload the recipes? So three of them are now up, and can be found on the Writing Page of my website. Look for the recipes from the...
New Wild Card Story
There is a new Wild Card story up at Tor.com. This one was written by Paul Cornell, and it is funny, and wise, and heartbreaking, and very bittersweet. And for any of you long time Wild Card fans it also features Croyd Crenson aka The Sleeper so it's a treat on so...
Recipes

Minds Working in Concert
It's very odd, but it seems that the writers at BioWare and I were on some strange wave length. I wrote and completed my Mass Effect story months ago. I had delayed posting it because I had other deadlines, but now a section a week is going up over in WRITING...
Star Trek: The Missed Opportunity

Creation is Passion
I was cruising around the BioWare social network, and came across a link to an interview conducted with Messers Hudson, Everman and Gamble. It wasn't quite an apology for the dreadful ending to Mass Effect 3, but it certainly had the feeling of people who were deeply...
