Hey, all! So glad you're now getting my posts! Whoo hoo! I'm working hard at a few things right now: 1) My Books. Of all my creative endeavors, I'm most proud of the Young Chesterton Chronicles, and The King's Gambit. I'm hoping & scoping for the VERY long shot of turning the first volume into a movie! Whoo hoo! St. Claire, patron of the Media, pray for me! [can't have too much help, eh?] 2) My comic book company. :) ...everyone has an ambition in life, something they wish they'd done when they were younger. I'm in my 50s, and I'm told guys my age do one of four things: a) Get a motorcycle b) Get a girlfriend c) Go skydiving

d) [insert long-undone ambition here] ...well, my brother who works in the medical field talked me out of a) a while back [Him: "We have names for guys who get motorcycles in their 50s!" Me: "Mid-life crisis victims?" Him: "No! Organ Donors!" ...and I'm not going the b) route. Moral questions aside [and those are enough for me, thank you]...my wife is a Texas wife, now. Not Portland. Portland wives will excuse a lot of things so long as don't do something REALLY evil by Portland standards, like vote for Trump. Texas wives, though? CHEATIN' HUSBAND: "Uhhhh....well, I was just trying to figure out who I was!" ANGRY WIFE: "Ah, KNOW who you are! [cocks shotgun] TARGET PRACTICE! Hold still!" CH: "WAH! " [runs, dodges shotgun blast] c) I'm not doing unless I have a LOT more life insurance, either from the Knights of Columbus or Primarica. d) I'm starting the business I always wanted to start:


...when I was 16, my two buddies, Sean [now better known as Zeranyzerak] and Brad and I were all on fire to make our own comics. There wasn't a 'woke' problem then, were comic makers were more interested in scoring political points and preaching to the choirs of screechy, blue-haired, overweight harridans who never bought comics anyway. Just fun stories. So, that's what I did last year. :) I formed and registered Emerald Productions & Ideas [LLC]. I'd say anyone could enjoy my work, regardless of who you voted for. And if they don't, I won't blame the fans. I'll blame me. While I'm spending my customers' money on making more comics.:) EPI's EXTRAordinary Heroes is in Fundraising mode now over at fundmycomic.com. Come on by! You can get either the digital copy, a paper AND digital copy, or a paper & digital copy AND a t-shirt with the pics of The Super Six, premier hero team of the Emeraldverse! [nice ring to that, eh?]. Come by, get a book, and help support the new wave of comics that are more interested is great artwork and great stories than tell you who you better vote for! :) Come one by! EXTRAordinary Heroes #1 is on the way, and YOU can get on board! Find out what happens when a regular guy or gal crosses paths with an a-lister of their day. What happens when the A-Lister is also strong enough to lift a building, fly at super-sonic speeds, or has the ear of the gods and goddesses of old? Find out! Click, follow, support. :) Take care! See you next post! John

[p.s. all opinions are my own. :) ]
