Turn The Page: The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel

I read all kinds of books – why? Because I like to find things out. Would I have hunted this book out or even picked it up in the normal course of things? No, probably not. The way it came into my hands was via a guy who was doing a follow-up after one of [...]

Turn The Page: The War Against Cliche by Martin Amis

When you read a book of essays you are hoping to get an insight into the subjects under discussion that you may not have arrived at by yourself; or you are looking for an opinion on something that you are not knowledgeable about yourself – you seek to educate yourself; or perhaps you want an [...]

Film Hick: The Happening (2008)

Directed by: M Night Shyamalan. Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo. Rated: R. Running Time: 91 Mins.
This is a short film but by the end of it I felt robbed of every second I wasted on it. I loved The Sixth Sense; I thought Unbreakable was great; even Signs was tolerable though by no [...]

me, god and the bible (or thoughts on a strained relationship)

I have always had a somewhat problematic relationship with the bible, and therefore I have always had a somewhat awkward relationship with those who live their lives by it.

If you are writing genre fiction, no matter what genre, aren’t the tropes of said genre going to effect the eventual product whether you are playing against the conventions or wholeheartedly embracing them? I think most people would accept that they go to a [...]

turn the page: self interview

I can’t remember where I saw this — maybe it was that arch egotist Jim Morrison who gave me the idea — but in an effort to get to know myself and elucidate some upon my new books, I am interviewing myself in lieu of someone else doing the job.

So, Warchalking, what’s that all about [...]

Rebellious Jukebox: INXS

It’s kind of strange but it really does seem almost like a rebellious act to like INXS, and when I talk of that name I am of course talking of the Michael Hutchene led band and not the soulless entity that JD Fortune has turned them into. I say almost because it wouldn’t really fly [...]

Death Of The Internet Again

I keep reading all these things where various companies are said to be bringing the end of the internet about, even the government is said to be interested in dismantling it. This might be something that it is possible to effect on a domestic level but not on an international level — just look how [...]
