OVERLORD

Overlord - This movie starts with a bang, with a gunfight by air, that sets the stage for the duration of the film. American paratroopers invade a Nazi fortified church in an attempt to destroy a radio transmitter. Once inside, they happen upon an secret laboratory and engage in a brutal battle against the undead. With a concept and production by JJ Abrams, it was written by screenwriter Billy Ray, and directed by Julius Avery. The film was purported to be 4^th in the Cloverfield series, which Abrams denied.

THE WRITE PLATFORM - National Novel Writing Month - Medium

THE WRITE PLATFORM - With the diminishing influence of the Big 5, up against almighty Amazon, authors need platforms. Why is that, you might ask? I'm a writer. Do I really need to bother with publicity? Yes. Do both, write material and engage in marketing.

FRAGMENTATION OF THE DEAD

FraGMENTATION of the Dead - With confirmation Andrew Lincoln will depart in season 9, will The Walking Dead be forced into cancellation without Rick or Carl? Although, let’s be honest, Chandler could have never lived up to the part. Shh. Anyway, I’ve been watching this news, and other rumors. Here are the highlights of what’s going on right now. Producers confirm season nine will jump ahead 18 months following last season's battle between Rick and Negan. Rick, Maggie and Daryl upend an alliance and havoc breaks loose. Seems to me showrunners recklessly killed off Shane and Carl, and now Daryl is the only one left, besides Carol. Norman Reedus got $20 million to lead the show here on out.  There are rumors Daryl will lead the show into a spinoff unrelated to the TWD. Nobody could’ve predicted the extent of this hit to bring strong interest for zombies of the apocalypse.

IN THE REIGN OF HARAD IV SHORT STORY REVIEW

IN THE REIGN OF HARAD IV  SHORT STORY REVIEW - A miniature maker--honored with a fur coat to attend court—creates doll house furniture with incredible detail. He loses himself in his own ambitions, ever creating things that are smaller and smaller, that his apprentices check on him one day. He has made a doll house so small, that it is invisible, even under powerful magnification. In The Reign of Harad IV by Steven Millhauser the author explores themes common to his other works, small moments, replicating reality, small models and exploration of the literary fantastic. This Pulitzer prizewinning writer has authored Dangerous Laughter, A Precursor of the Cinema and The Other Town.
