My First Comic Con: How We Will Cover it

Last updated on: September 1, 2014 at 11:32 am   By Jonathan Ryan

So, I’m about three days away from my first Comic Con ever. Yes, that’s right, I’ve never been to a comic con. I know this is really hard for most people to comprehend, especially the people who follow this site on a regular basis. Here’s the thing, I’m only partially a geek. I like playing video games, but I’m not a gamer. I love comic books, but I’m not going to be participating in cosplay. I love Sci-FI/Fantasy, but I... Read more

The Remaining: Interview with Alexa Vega

Last updated on: August 25, 2014 at 7:07 pm   By Jonathan Ryan

(As regular readers of The Rogue know, we have an interest (some say warped) in the deluge of so-called Christian movies hitting the market. Most of them are bad, few are good and some just recycle the same old evangelical crap. However, when The Remaining came across my email, I couldn’t pass it up. How does a post rapture/sort of found footage/monster movie/zombie thriller grab you? Yeah, I thought so. We had two phone interviews with Alexa Vega and the director Casey La Scala... Read more

Confessions on Waffle Street: Interview with James Adams

Last updated on: August 25, 2014 at 6:30 pm   By jojoschaffer

From Wall Street to Waffle Street…a true story. Recently, I had the opportunity of working on the movie set of Waffle Street. The movie is based on the book by James Adams and stars Danny Glover, James Lafferty and Julie Ganzalo. Being a part of the crew, I had a great time meeting the actors and even getting into a couple scenes in the movie wearing my Teen Author Boot Camp t-shirt. What I enjoyed most was meeting the author,... Read more

Mark Driscoll Temporarily Stepping Down (Heartfelt Repentance or Good Acting?)

Last updated on: January 10, 2017 at 2:57 pm   By Alan Atchison

Mark Driscoll, head pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, has been no stranger to the controversial spotlight throughout his pastoral career. But opinions by people simply being annoyed or offended at his style and tone have taken a sharp and serious turn over the past year as some major accusations have come to light.  A few weeks ago, the Acts 29 church network removed Driscoll (the co-founder) from the network, citing “ungodly and disqualifying behavior.” Additionally, just a few... Read more

SLC Comic Con Names Me to FIVE Panel Discussions…

Last updated on: August 20, 2014 at 7:14 am   By Jonathan Ryan

I woke up this morning to an amazing email from Salt Lake City Comic Con. My publishing company (Open Road Media) submitted my name for panel discussions as they ramp up their marketing for 3 Gates of the Dead, and the sequel, Dark Bride (March 2015).  According to the email, they had over five hundred panel  submissions and hundreds of willing participants.

Against Her Will….and what I Will or Won’t Do as an Agent.

Last updated on: August 18, 2014 at 8:22 am   By jojoschaffer

My writing adventure on both sides of the fence continues. As I write and rewrite my own projects and read/review my clients’ manuscripts, I’m amazed at how the time flies by. I stare at the screen until my rear end hurts and then realize I haven’t gotten up to pace in a couple of hours. Are my eyes about to fall out? Maybe. The days go on and on this way. Paddling around in a sea of words, immersed in... Read more

Robin Williams, the Canary Prophet

Last updated on: August 12, 2014 at 1:02 am   By Jonathan Ryan

  The news of Robin Williams’ apparent suicide yesterday hit the Internet with blinding speed. People are pouring out their grief and utter disbelief. How could someone who brought so much joy and beauty end their life? How could he do something so contrary to what he brought to others? While no one will say it outright, some believe that anyone who commits suicide is a failure. They think that people who take their own life fail to see happiness... Read more

Successful People are Weirder – Right?

Last updated on: August 8, 2014 at 8:46 am   By tomdurham

Her ideal man is handsome but doesn’t know it, brilliant but unassuming, successful and kind. So says Rita (Andie MacDowell) to Phil (Bill Murray) in one of the greatest movies of all time, Groundhog Day. But don’t we humans tend to get weirder the more successful we get?   (more…) Read more

Horror Writers Association Admits Me Through Blood Ritual

Last updated on: July 31, 2014 at 9:50 am   By Jonathan Ryan

Artists are very weird people. On one hand, we talk loudly at smart parties how we don’t care if anyone “gets” our work. We claim we write for “its own sake” and our own personal satisfaction. That is a lie. Artists are artists because we want to communicate. We want to say something and have people respond. Further, there is a huge part of us that needs constant validation. The worst thing for an artist is that no one pays... Read more
