![]() I hated his friend Maddoc and at times I was upset with Tate, but the moment they do get together it was fireworks □ and I am all here for that built up tension of hate between the two. Heck, that sounds nice.Īnyway! The story itself is great, we do find out why Jared bullied her all those years and all it would have taken was communication, but they are teens so who communicates effectively at that age? I was along for the ride. Tate was bullied so badly that she leaves for a year and goes to France. Jared is a bully, a complete asshole to Tate when he returns one summer, where he turned his humanity switch off (TVD fans?). As you can tell by the title this type of book isn’t going to be for everyone. Jared and Tate grew up together, they were best friends, neighbors, they even shared a window view. My next series is going to be the Kill Switch series. Penelope Douglas is a phenomenal romance writer and my love for her books began with Birthday Girl. ![]() ![]() My book review blog posts have slowed down a bit, because of my release month in April, but I’ll start these back up again. ![]()

Studios and publishers invest in millions of dollars in character development, story line, game play, cut scenes, animation and even voice recording. Take Naughty Dog for example when they replaced their creative director and rendered almost two years of development resources entirely useless.Ĭhanging course late in the development not only wastes millions, also costs emotional investment. ![]() Internal conflicts and higher-ups can take game to an entirely different direction.Īrtists and programmers spend months, years even, designing levels, sketching characters and coding mechanics down to the last line only to see it all thrown out. In the case of Dragon Age Inquisition, every update to Frostbit game engine, requires significant changes from the design and engineering team. It’s not uncommon for studios to scrap tens of hours of work because a better engine comes along. Tools and Technology are constantly in flux. Ranging from technical nightmares to internal turmoils and market demands, it’s a miracle that any video game gets ever made. “Making games is sort of like shooting movies, if you had to build an entirely new camera every time you started.” Challenges are enormous to put mildly. Blood, sweat and pixels gives us a glimpse into the pain and passion that goes unnoticed into bringing modern games into the market. ![]() ![]() Kelly must survive a grueling cross country drive to Nationals with her sons and mother, but more importantly, can she make herself take a chance on love? Cross Country Chaos is a funny, passionate, and at times cringingly honest story of healing broken hearts, rebuilding trust, finding love in unexpected places, and realizing sometimes the greatest disability is between a person’s ears, not their body. But past heartache over her cheating ex fuels Kelly’s reluctance to get personally involved with him. Mart Rawlings is a single, handsome wheelchair athlete who volunteers to coach Denny and helps him qualify and falls hard for Kelly. Kelly finds out about the Junior National Disability Games, but they’re in Spokane, Washington, a continent away from her Florida home. ![]() ![]() Divorced mom Kelly Alexander wants younger son, Denny, in a wheelchair due to spina bifida to participate in sports.

Pedrosa has created a perfect depiction of a Peter Pan syndrome: Simon refuses to grow up. He must either break free or reassess his current state–do something instead of just vacillate. ![]() Simon is at that age when life has taken root from all directions but he is not ready to settle down. Simon is a man who still feels he is only a boy–or a young man with much to learn. But Simon does not see it that way at all.Ī conflict. This is the story of Simon, a young man struggling to find his place in the world despite the fact it would appear that he has everything in place: a loving mate to share a life with, a promising future in his chosen career, and the potential for lifelong stability. Pedrosa plays with the spaces in between words. Sometimes what is not said is as important as what is said. Before long, a compelling story unfolds like Cyril Pedrosa’s “Portugal,” published by Europe Comics. ![]() Evoking a quiet moment is one of the most natural and satisfying things to do as a cartoonist. ![]() ![]() ![]() He will be able to stay aloft forever, where he feels close to his dad and free from the confines of poverty and air-less cities. Someday, Matt dreams, he will be captain of his own ship. ![]() Matt’s plan is to work his way up the ranks and somehow earn enough money to support his widowed mother and younger sisters, and allow him to attend the new prestigious Airship Academy. Matt Cruse, the protagonist, is fortunate enough to work as a cabin boy aboard the massive luxury airship Aurora, captained by Samuel Walken. ![]() The social setting is reminiscent of the early decades of the 1900s. Airships are something like blimps: they rely on gas contained within huge sacs to keep themselves afloat in the world of Airborn, airplanes have not been invented. In the world of Ken Oppel’s Airborn, a gas called hydrium makes airships a main means of transportation. ![]() ![]() Regardless, it is an incredibly fitting end to the series. This is the final issue of the storyline that graham started long ago in Tokyopop's first volume of "King City." It's unclear when he will return to it - it's certainly an open ended finish - but his new Oni Press series, "Multiple Warheads," will be starting up soon. We may never see "King City" collected at this size (Tokyopop was gracious enough to allow Graham to publish the rest of "King City" with Image as individual issues, but it's unclear what the future of the book is in terms of collected editions) and Graham's art certainly benefits from it. There's also something to be said for reading his comics in this oversized format, as the book has been published in Image's lovely tabloid format (as seen in "Viking"). ![]() That being said, even a new Brandon Graham cover tends to have enough content in its detail to make any purchase of a single issue worth the price. This makes it a fantastic read in collections, but as a standalone comic, it sometimes feels a bit slight as far as the narrative goes. Its pace is not unlike its protagonist: always in favor of eschewing a focus on broad action in favor of languorously resting on character moments and more intimate detail. ![]() ![]() The comic doesn't necessarily lend itself that well to this kind of serialization. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her other books include the critically acclaimed Post Black: How a New Generation is Redefining African American Identity, a popular cultural studies text universities across the US, and her most recent work Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci Fi and Fantasy Culture. ![]() She is author/creator of the popfuturist/afrofuturist novel 2212:Book of Rayla, first of the groundbreaking Rayla 2212 series. Womack is an award-winning filmmaker/author/journalist and choreographer. A social media and pop culture expert, she frequently consults and guest Ytasha L. A Chicago native, her film projects include The Engagement (director) and Love Shorts (producer/writer).
