Area(s) of Interest or Expertise:
Writing all sorts of things, including short stories, the occasional novel, poetry, skits or plays, and comics. I do some drawing too, but I think I'm a lot better at writing (and I like it better overall).
My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
I was raised in a Christian home and said a prayer of salvation when I was only four. However, I wasn't very serious about my walk with God for a while, and I fell deeply into sin in my preteen years. When I was thirteen my family started going to a more active church than the one we had been at before, and I began to get serious about God. I have walked with Him since.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
Writer of one or more successful ongoing series.
Favorite Comic Creators:
Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, Bill Finger and Bob Kane, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, John Romita Sr. and Jr., Gerry Conway, Len Wein, J. Michael Straczynski, Kurt Busiek, J.M. Demmateis, Brian Michael Bendis, Todd McFarlane, Mark Bagley, Walter and Louise Simonson, Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale, Mark Waid, Mike Wieringo, Jim Davis, Charles M. Schultz, Bill Watterson, Bill Amend, Scott Adams, Gary Larson, Frank Cho...the list could go on and on.

Hey everyone, I'm a writer and I've written several chapters of a story about a Christian superhero called the Watchman. I'd like it to become a comic book eventually, but right now it's just in written format. If anyone would like to read it and…
"Great review, spot on. I got onto this series a little while back and just devoured it. This series really taught me about character development and seeing the characters (rick especially) change as the series went on was something that you don't…"
"I haven't been too impressed with most of them, with the exception of some of the Batman and Green Lantern titles, but even those I haven't followed consistently because I was just so disappointed with the reboot as a whole. However, when all the #1…"
"What great, thorough, and reflective review! I totally agree with your points, and if reviewing comics is something you do often, I look forward to reading more of these reviews from you. Peace and blessings."
"well written. I have to say that I am a fan of the TV show. It was a big hit at my department because the forsythe county patch and our agency patch look so much alike (theirs is green and gold where ours is blue and gold). I also could identify…"
"Yea, I feel D.L. that there may need to be a mandatory law that if you are in law enforcement(military, police, etc,) you should be required to carry a gun, because you never know when you'll be called to defend the innocent."
"hmmm. good take. My and my wife sat through the movie and both though. "when is this going to end...its 'blah'!" So we went home and talked about the good parts and the bad parts of the movie. We were mostly in agreement that we enjoyed the Marvel…"
"There is always someone that is going to pick up any issue of any comic for the first time, and decide whether or not they like the story as a whole, and care about the characters. I don't think first time readers will be put off as much as you…"
"Good review"
"Good review indeed. Will wonder woman ever get a goo movie and video game like batman arkham city because its about time she gets the respects she needs. At least they gave her a good anaimated movie."
"Yes, JLA just seems to leave me hungry for more, too. But I'm afraid that they, the new team of writers and artist is just going to start everything over, and I'm too old now to see when they plan to tie up all the loose strings they intend to heave…"
"Personally I'm not a fan of really any comic company any more. They've gotten to dark and murky for my tastes that you truly can't tell the good guys from the bad, neither. And this rebooting is just a bad idea. Because in the 52 universes that…"
"I'm not at all surprised that your review was somewhat bittersweet,Sam.DC and Marvel have shown a pattern of dishonor over the years for their iconic characters.I mean,If you can't have common sense enough to treat the very creations that made your…"
"So I initially wrote a huge response to this review, but for the most part I was speaking based on what information the review presents and not my own reading of the material, so I deleted it. What my points boiled down to were: 1) I agree with you,…"

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

If time and popularity permits, i may have to do another series just to play around with other stories about the characters. Allegories ends at 5 volumes and even my webcomic won't go into the possiblities I could do with the "world" I made. But it's fun to see where it'll all go.
The Illuminati is a group of men from around the world that are
in some way, directly or indirectly in control of every church based
on Christianity in the world. The leaders of the church are the men
with no face. The men behind the curtain that are always there,
and always watching, but never seen. A council of men. All
D.O.G.’s that have climbed their way up a very long and
sometimes dangerous ladder. The leader of the Illuminati
is named the lord All Seer. The lord All Seer is said to have a link
to God, and God’s will for the world is told through him.
The All Seer passes the will down to the Illuminati, the Illuminati
passes it down to the religious leaders of the world, the religious
leaders pass it down to the different denominations, and so on,
and so on. The Lords’ will be done.
The Illuminati chooses orphans that are given up for adoption
at birth to become servants of God. From those many that are
chosen only a few are sent to a special boarding school
that is run by the Illuminati. In this school they
are being watched and tested in all aspects of their lives. Those
that are strong enough to last through this training,
move on to become the ‘Dicsiples of God.’ D.O.G.'s are the
first and foremost protectors of God and the Council. The
Council’s own police force against the evil of this world. Once in
a generation the All Seer is able to choose a disciple to be given
“The Power of God.” No one knows which year, or even the
identity of the disciple that is chosen. No one but the
All Seer. It is then that chosen ones duty to serve Gods’ will.
It is his destiny to protect the world.
…. and so his story begins....
The main theme of the story is that if you have faith in God Anything is possible!
Thanks for the interest! God Bless!
I have several people I'd like to have interviewed. I can set you up with an intro email. As for questions, why don't you brainstorm 7-10 questions you'd want to know from an industry person, then I'll add 2 cents onto those.
:)

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
