People make mistakes. Not exactly inspiring, I know. But it’s true. Even the best of intentions can lead to bad decisions, and those decisions can come to haunt people down the line. It doesn’t make us evil. In fact, I’d say it’s what makes us human. This is a story about mistakes and the group of children who . . .

The world of Goodfae is far from copacetic, much like the life of its protagonist, Alfonso Anastasio; a mafioso and newly made man trying to make ends . . .

Apr 9, 2013: This is something different, a sort of hybrid webfiction and webcomic. The meandering tales have a film noir quality, and are illustrated by cartoon figures made up of primary shapes and colours and the odd photo.

Aug 27, 2012: I am glad to say that Worm has just become my favorite ongoing web serial, surpassing my long-standing love of Tales of MU.

The heroes act like police and soldiers and human beings, not caricatures or mythic heroes. The villains (most of them) are similarly realistic and well-developed, acting out of the sort of motivations that lead real people to lead lives outside [more . . .]
