Ten Things You Might Not Know About the Robin Hood Legend

Hello readers!
Are you excited about seeing the new Robin Hood movie this weekend? I know I am. In my The Youngest Templar novels, the young Robin Hood is the sidekick of Tristan, the protagonist.

Russell and Me…

Why I Love Comic Con

This past weekend I made my annual trip to New York Comic Con 2009. What a blast. My whole family went along including my wife who attended her first con ever. She had a great time. There is nothing like this convention. You see things here you won’t see anyway else.

THE BEST MOVIE I’VE SEEN THIS YEAR

There are moments in a movie theater that you just can’t replicate anywhere else. Sure, you could spread greasy popcorn on your living room floor so your feet stick to it and spill your Diet Coke on the carpet, but that’s not what I’m talking about. Heck, sometimes I do that just for the [...]
