CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF STAR TREK!

Captain Nash has the bridge.

It was Star Trek that first really fueled my interest in discovery, in seeking out the unknown, and seeking adventure. I may not do as much physical adventuring as I used to, darn that adulting, but my imagination still boldly goes forward in search of the new and undiscovered. I think... I hope that inspiration not only helps make me a better writer, but also a better person. 

Happy 50th Anniversary, Star Trek. May you continue to live long and prosper for at least another 50 years.

BOBBY JOINS VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX FOR SUPERHERO ANNIVERSARIES 2015!

Flashback to last year's Dragon Con! Join host Michael Bailey, Joe Crowe, Bobby Nash and Philip Schweier as we talk about the birthdays of some very special heroes on the latest Views From The Longbox podcast.

Give it a listen here.

Episode 218: "Live" From DragonCon...The Superhero-Versary

This time out I am presenting the audio from the panel I moderated at DragonCon back in September of 2015.  For the second year in a row Joe Crowe and Gary Mitchel (the directors for the American Sci-Fi Classics track at DragonCon) invited me to not only be on some panels but moderate one that was all about the 75th anniversaries of a handful of DC characters.  Joining me on this panel were Joe Crowe (he of the RevCast and the RevolutionsSF website), Bobby Nash (award winning author) and Philip Schweier (of ComicBookBin.com).  For a little over an hour we talked about the heroes hitting the big 7-5 in 2015 including Robin The Boy Wonder, Captain Marvel, the Jay Garrick Flash, the Alan Scott Green Lantern, the Spectre, the Al Pratt Atom, the Joker and...someone else.  After going through the presentation I put together the audience got involved and some great conversations about the characters broke out.

This panel was a lot of fun to moderate an I had a ball putting together the PowerPoint presentation which you can view in PDF form by clicking on this link.  

I'd like to take a moment to thank Joe Crowe and Gary Mitchel for having me be a part of the American Sci-Fi Classics family.  They have made DragonCon fun for me again and I appreciate them letting me play in their sandbox.  

Be sure to check out the links associated with the people on this panel too.  Because they're awesome.

FIGHT CARD: BAREFOOT BONES

FIGHT CARD: BAREFOOT BONES

A Fight Fiction novel by Bobby Nash

Korea, 1951

Mentored in the hollows of hardscrabble Georgia by mysterious loner Old Man Winter, then in a Chicago orphanage by ex-fighter Father Tim Brophy, James ‘Barefoot Bones’ Mason has relied on his fists to make his way. But it’s a long way from St. Vincent’s Asylum For Boys to the battlefields of Korea where Bones’ fists may not be enough.

Entered in an inter-camp boxing tournament by his commanding officer, Bones finds himself in a war within a war. When a tenuous cease fire is explosively shattered, Bone’s is fighting against the highest odds of all – staying alive.

Can a skinny kid from the north Georgia mountains survive the hell of Korea and still have the guts to climb back into the ring one more time? The one constant in Bones’ life has been fighting – Lucky for him… he’s good at it.

CELEBRATING 32 YEARS OF "KHANNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!"

Today we celebrate 32 years of screaming, "KHANNNNNNNNNNN!!!"

That's right. Happy Anniversary, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. This is one of my all time favorite movies. If I ever run across it on TV, no matter how many times I've seen it before, I will sit down and watch. It's just that good. Last year, I was able to see it on the big screen for the first time thanks to the Retro Cinema showing at Movie Tavern. I believe they're showing it again this year. I might just have to see it again.

Not only is Wrath of Khan a fun action/adventure movie, it also blends in social allegory, which the original Star Trek TV series did oh so very well. In this case, it's the crew dealing with aging. At the time they were considered a bit too old to be action heroes. After Wrath of Khan, older action heroes were back in fashion. As I begin the countdown to my 43rd birthday (stops, does math, curses-- how the hell am I turning 43?) I see things in this movie a little differently than when I was a kid. Another sign of a good movie. It has layers.

The real trick today is going to be avoiding the temptation to watch the movie and focus on writing. I guess that means I'll spend the day quoting the movie instead.

My favorite line? There are so many good ones in this movie, but this one is one I really like.
"You've managed to kill just about everyone else, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target."

My favorite exchange, however, is this one.

McCoy: Where are we going?

Kirk: Where they went.

McCoy: Suppose they went *nowhere*?

Kirk: Then this will be your big chance to get away from it all.

Keep Boldly Going!

DOCTOR, DOCTOR, GIMME THE NEWS...

The 4th Doctor and "Bones" McCoy. These are MY Doctors

I love the fact that my two favorite cinematic doctors have birthdays today. Happy Birthday to Tom Baker (Doctor Who's 4th Doctor) who we recently saw reprise his role in the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special and the late DeForest Kelley (Star Trek's Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy). These are My Doctors.

He'll be better than he was before. Better. Stronger. Faster.

Also, one of my favorites from childhood, the Six Million Dollar Man weekly TV series began 40 years ago this past weekend, January 18th. That makes me feel old. I have recently enjoyed rewatching the series on DVD. It's still fun TV. The 1st episode was titled Population: Zero.

Cover Rough Sketch
Coming Spring 2014

Although it hasn't been released yet, Amazon already has a page set aside for the upcoming ebook novel release of SNOW FALLS, the first book of my new series featuring Abraham Snow.

There's not a lot of detail yet, but you can sign up to be notified when it's available. Check it out here.
