I am a science fiction and adventure writer who on the way to becoming a paid professional learned how to be a graphic designer, photoshop expert (for print and web), producer, martial artist, publisher, editor, business and article writer; event coordinator and post-production supervisor.

My fiancee is Henry Covert.

My website is Best Friends Productions.


My myspace where I put my blogs is http://www.myspace.com/village_mystic_r.

I hope to gradually become more proficient here.

My unusual producer skills include developing scripts through staged readings, and a practical knowledge of using cabaret spaces for productions.

My unusual comic book feat is that I'm working with Rich Buckler and Henry Covert on some mainstream pitches for Marvel and DC. Henry and I helped set up Rich Buckler's myspace, and continue to assist him in editing it. Rich drew a few sketches for an active pitch that we have out on an editor's desk right now.

Henry drew around 20 concept sketches for part of that proposal, and you can see some of them (in no particular order) on this myspace. At some point we'll make a production page here. And at some point we'll make an album for Rich's sketches in our proposal on the myspace page.

The most unusual advertising sales for comic books gig is the one that I have right now, managing the ads for the official Public Enemy Comic Book Series.

FYI this comic book series is rated about TV-PG.

The next issue is issue #4 and it is coming out in July '07, distributed by Diamond and also going on tour with the band. There is more information about it and links in my blog. Contact me ASAP if you want to do a classified or full page ad!
