Interview

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

E.K. Hornbeck from Inherit The Wind.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

I'll do you one better. Why does it mean to be a journalist?

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

Wordpress. GIMP. My own mighty wit and my own two hands.

Who do you wish followed you?

Some rich person who thought everything I said was brilliant and was willing to contribute to my Patreon.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

No. I didn't figure out that I was good at writing until college.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

A review of Starman: Sins of the Father where I analyze the book as a metaphor for comics fandom.

What's the best pitch you ever got?

The one that gave me a concussion and got me out of Little League.

What's your favorite drink?

Black tea.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

In bed.

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That only out-of-shape, sarcastic, alcoholic virgins write about comics. Some of us can't drink because of heart conditions.
