SOMETHING SKETCHY...

I did a commission recently featuring headshots of The Avengers for the client's sister. He wanted to give it to her for her birthday. Here's the birthday girl, Shounda, with the finished commission. I'm glad she liked it.

Oh, and Chewie was the envelope art.

I am open for commissions. Just shoot me an email if you're interested. Soon, I will have it so commissions can be ordered through my store.

BIRTHDAY BLUES AND REDS...

I had a nice lunch out at Your Pie with my dad and brother. We stopped off for a DQ dessert after. Not a bad birthday even though it's my first without mom here to join us, which bummed me out more than a little bit this morning.

I capped the lunch off by buying myself a present. I picked up Avengers: Infinity War on Blu Ray and plan to enjoy it tonight after I get some writing done.

SOMETIMES I GET ASKED STUFF… PART 26

A little shorter list this time around, but we’re back for a 26th installment of Sometimes I Get Asked Stuff… I know I’ve said it before, but thank you for the continued questions. I love answering them. Please, keep ‘em coming. You can check out all of the past installments of Sometimes I Get Asked Stuff... here.

Q: Do you spend time on visual social networking platforms such as Pinterest? Is it work or fun time or both?

I have a Pinterest page and post information/photos there on occasion. Mostly, it’s book-related information, but I also do podcast links, convention photos, and things like that. I admit, I don’t explore the site as much as I probably should. You can visit my page at http://www.pinterest.com/bobbynash/

Q: How did the last character killed off die?

The last kill I wrote had the victim ripped apart by a deranged psycho killer who may or may not be from another planet.

Q: How do people respond when they learn that you're an author?

The first thing I get is how exciting that must be followed by “what kind of books do you write?” Then comes the presumption that I’m rich because every writer they’ve ever seen on TV or in the movies is uber-rich. Of course, that’s from people that don’t know any professional writers personally.

This is usually followed by the person telling me one of three things… First, they have always wanted to be a writer followed by the reason why they’ve never done it. Or they tell me that their life has been so interesting that I should write a book about them or this great idea they have. If it’s a person who has started writing, I’m then asked if I’ll read their manuscript and pass it along to one of my publishers. Sometimes I am asked to give that person a book, but rarely does anyone ask where the book can be purchased.

These days I also get the "did you publish them yourself or get a publisher?" That's a fairly new addition to the questions I get.

Maybe I should start telling people I’m a plumber. HA! HA!

Q: Your Favorite Lindsay Crouse Movie?

Not sure on movies, but I thought she made a great Buffy The Vampire slayer villain.

Q: Is snacking a form of procrastination or does it act more as fuel for you?

The act of stopping to fix the snack is pure procrastination. Absentmindedly snacking while writing just helps fuel the fire.

Q: What is your favorite TV show that was cancelled too soon?

This could be a big list. I don’t know if I have a favorite, but here’s a few I thing belong on that list-- Leverage, Human Target, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Crusade, Veronica Mars (a show I recently discovered), seaQuest (yeah, I’m the one), Young Justice, Deadwood, Almost Human, and like almost everyone else I’ll add Firefly to the list.

My kind of vacation.

Q: Do you write when you take a vacation or go on holiday?

Usually, yeah. Although, it’s been about six years or so since I took a vacation and sadly, it was only two days. I am overdue for a beach trip. Maybe one day soon I’ll be able to make that happen.

Q: Please tell us about what you’re currently writing.

I’m juggling two stories at the moment. Working on a short pulpy p.i. story and putting the finishing touches on Snow Storm.

Q: Which do you prefer? eBooks or Paperbacks?

I stare at stories on a computer screen all day so when reading for pleasure I prefer paperbacks, but have enjoyed a good ebook on occasion.

Q: If you had the opportunity to work with someone (co-author a book, make a movie, create art, or share the big screen as an actor, etc) who would it be?

Great question. I had to think about the answer to this one a bit. Since we’re talking dream collaboration, I would love to work with Clint Eastwood as the director on an adaptation of one of my novels, either Evil Ways or Deadly Games! I think he would bring just the right blend of thriller and action to it. Yeah. It’s good to dream.

Q: What are ten of your favorite comics or graphic novels?

This is another one of those where the answer will no doubt change the next time I’m asked. In no particular order…
DC: New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke
Fantastic Four Annual #17 by John Byrne (love Byrne’s entire FF run)
New Teen Titans (Baxter series) #1 - #5 by Marv Wolfman and George Perez
Avengers Forever by Kurt Busiek, Roger Stern, Carlos Pacheco, and

Jesus Merino
Walt Simonson’s Thor run
Liberty Meadows by Frank Cho
Daredevil: Born Again by Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli
Batman: Year One by Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli
Spider-man: The Hobgoblin Saga by Roger Stern, John Romita Jr., and Ron Frenz
Hellboy by Mike Mignola

Q: You are now the main character in the last book you read. What are you doing?

Chasing down a serial killer. I'm finishing up So Close The Hand of Death by J.T. Ellison.

Q: Do you purchase more paperbacks, hard covers, or ebooks?

Paperback.

Q: Out of the 79 episodes of the originals series of Star Trek, which is your absolute favorite?

The Trouble With Tribbles followed closely by Shore Leave.

Q: What sentence ends your latest chapter?

Snow released the phone and let Katie Masters talk to her mother.

That’s from the upcoming Snow Storm e-novel.
Snow Falls is still available.



And I think that is a good place to finish this round of Sometimes I Get Asked Stuff…

Do you have any questions you’d like me to answer? Post them here as a comment or send them along to bobby@bobbynash.com and I’ll answer them in a future installment of Sometimes I Get Asked Stuff...

You can't take the sky from me.

Also, please sign up for my mailing list. Drop me an email at bobby@bobbynash.com and I'll happily add you to the list.

Happy Reading.

WHEN CAPTAIN AMERICA THROWS HIS MIGHTY S.H.I.E.L.D.

I've been recruited.

I ventured out to the local theater for a viewing of the new Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie today. No spoilers, but I think I have a new favorite Marvel movie. It was great. I will say I'm really excited to see how the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series follows it up this week. The only downside to my movie-going experience was the two teenage girls in the row behind me that talked throughout the entire movie. Ah, well.

This movie is highly recommended. You should check it out.
I may just have to go see it again.

1 of my favorite covers.

I am a big fan of Captain America and and read the comic book for many years (okay, decades). I dropped off with the newest series that had Cap off in another dimension. It just wasn't working for me.

One of my hopes as a writer is to write a Captain America story some day. He's definitely on the short list of characters I would love to tackle. It'll probably never happen, but you never know. If there's one thing I have learned from reading and watching Cap's adventures over the years it's that anything is possible.

The Earth station One podcast will be reviewing Captain America: The Winter Soldier this week so I will go into more depth with spoilers there. Will post the link to that here on this site when it goes live.

Have a great weekend, shield-slingers.

Bobby

Another great poster image

Nice teaser poster.

Just because.

I wonder how the events of the movie will effect these guys?
