Hey, I have an idea. Go figure. For 2009, I will be revisiting a story I’ve been developing for almost three years called Under Angels. A dark fantasy slash mystery slash thriller. It originally came out of my mind as a screenplay in 2006, but I’d always intended to rip it out as a novel. [...]

The Carolers by Jace D. Albao (b. 1969) Tears of sulking gloom stained his frown. He flinched at the quiet knowledge that he was being watched, day and night, all his actions known, whether disorderly or charitable. KNOCK KNOCK.

Maybe more than a little

12.21.2008

“Most very successful people are driven. They all wanted what they’ve got; they didn’t get it by accident. A lot of them will admit that luck played a part, but they were all driven. They all had a sense of purpose, a sense of who they are. They are a little off. They don’t act [...]

Bedford Falls vs. Pottersville

12.20.2008

From the New York Times, a breakdown of “It’s a Wonderful Life” from the admittedly cynical and non-mushy Wendell Jamieson. Hereâ€™s the thing about Pottersville that struck me when I was 15: It looks like much more fun than stultifying Bedford Falls â€” the women are hot, the music swings, and the fun times go [...]
