About Me

So, today is the first post. Yes! Bare with me though, never blogged before.

ME
At 31, I’m the youngest of three children (the only boy) born in NY, but raised in the southern United States. Exciting, I know. After attending two colleges, my love of story telling continued with me in spite of various career choices—for some of those I use "choices" loosely. Till now, I’ve not only completed my first book Genesis, but it's being published by Black Bed Sheet Books! I’m married to a wonderful woman and have my first child on the way. Huzzah! I have one dog. I just bought my first home. I love to travel. I’ve been to Ireland, Germany (the airport counts), England, France, Amsterdam and several states in the US. Many seen only from the highway, but again, like the airport, they count.

Finally, besides writing or catching up on my comic books, there are times I could lounge all day.

INFLUENCES
The Masters: Frank Herbert, JRR Tolkien, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, Allan Moore, Steven King, Brian Jacques and too many more to name them all.

Then, there was always my weekend RP Group. They were such a great sound board.

Alright, that's enough about me.

GENESIS (All Reviews)

Ok, Now they're all in one place: Amazon, B&N and Goodreads :) Amazon Customer September 29, 2016 5/5 A great read with deep underlying themes. By Author Jon Sprunk A wonderful blend of philosophy, spirituality, and intrigue that covers a clash of cultures and religion. Jak is a hero of the modern age, unsure and yet ready to face the challenges that await him. Amazon Customer September 22, 2016 5/5 GrimDarker ! I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and everything in between. Pacing was great and Wade seemed to have a unique idea told in a new voice. Loved it. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone interested in fantasy, especially you GrimDark fans. Amazon Customer September 9, 2016 5/5 The next Erikson If you loved Erikson you will love this! Garret's writing style reminded me so much of the first time i picked up Gardens of the Moon by Erikson, at first you're like come on explain some ...

Reivew: The Dark Tower

I've read the whole series and I've read all the comics... I enjoyed the movie. Lots of good things to talk about it. Few bumps. One or two bad moments. Overall, good movie. I hope they make more. So, let's get into it—and since I enjoyed the movie, it won't be that long of a review: more to talk about when it sucks :) So, this is the world you know.... Now, the WHEEL has turned and Roland has been returned to the beginning....and yet, it's not the beginning as you know it, nor is THIS "The Gunslinger" the same as the one you've read, the world has moved on and many things have changed and yet some things are still the same ..... So, that's crucial point in understanding and accepting this movie as BOTH (book) 8 and yet the start of a WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE. IF YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THAT, DON'T EVEN BOTHER WATCHING THE MOVIE But for those who can, let us continue. !SPOILERS! ...

Watch someone beat the world’s HARDEST Super Mario World LEVEL EVER!

By Kyle Daly @dalykyle Since Super Mario World came out for the Super Nintendo on November 21, 1990, war and famine have taken untold millions of lives, nations have risen and fallen, and some dudes in an obscure corner of the Internet have dedicated countless hours to making insane obstacle courses for Mario and then beating them. As we all know, every single conceivable thing in all possible worlds has its own Internet subculture dedicated to it, almost invariably complete with a 1999-era forum to bring enthusiasts together. No exception, Super Mario World hacking has a new hero in YouTube user PangaeaPanga, who spent three years assembling and now beating “Item Abuse 3,” a custom creation touted as “the hardest Super Mario World level in existence.” The results are oddly hypnotic: PangaeaPanga accomplished the feat using a Super Nintendo emulator that allows for tool-assisted speedruns—video game pla...
