Series Overview I may never have written a word of fiction in more than 15 years, but there was never a time that the ideas were not flowing. Why this seven-book series, with at least two companion novels, would ‘force’ me to put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard), I don’t know? It’s a beast. Over seventy years in …
Worlds of Horror: Sleepy Hollow Horrors
Character Profile As I once stated in an earlier blog post, I like horror, but most horror today is…crap. Silly, stupid, and gratuitously gruesome are the three normal categories they fall into. In film, I have to go back to the 1970s and 1980s for ‘classics.’ In books, for example, Stephen King is a favorite, but I still think I …
Cover Reveals and Pre-Orders
I began my latest incarnation as a writer back in 2012 after not writing a word of fiction for more than 15 years! It all started out as an item on my “New Year’s List,” wherein I pick a few new things that I will do that year. In 2012, one of the items was to write and publish a full …
Featured: Upcoming New Release in Horror (The Sleepy Hollow Horrors)
Hollow Blood (Sleepy Hollow Horrors, Book 1) I always loved the story of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow as a kid. Many will think I wrote this novel because of the American television series Sleepy Hollow. Actually it’s based on my own short-story written about thirty years ago. (Wow, being able to say that I did something “thirty years ago” …
Featured: Upcoming New Release in Sci-Fi (The After Eden Series)
Hell’s Menagerie (After Eden Series: Tek-Fall, Episode II) My companion mini-series concludes. In Metal Flesh (Episode I), the focus was on “living” inorganic robots. Now with the concluding Hell’s Menagerie (Episode II), we move to “man-made” organic creatures. I marvel at the groundbreaking story of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (full title: Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus) which was written in 1818 anonymously …
Phase I of Austin Dragon’s Writing Universe
I like the word “phase” in my own life, both personally and professionally, when I’m planning big changes and major goals. Marvel Studios also seems to like that word and is giving us a list of every single, solitary marvel super hero movie to 2020. As an avid comic book collector when I was a kid, and a huge fan …

Part II of Bobba Fett’s Top 12 New Year’s Resolution Tips. #8. “Have The Best Tools, Man!” Use the Best Tools to Help You Achieve Success. In my last post, I talked about training for a marathon.

Bobba Fett’s Top 12 New Year’s Resolution Tips!
At the beginning of every January is the perennial debate as to whether New Year’s resolutions are good or bad, stupendous or stupid, beneficial or a complete, self-defeating waste of time. The simple question back should be: What’s wrong with wanting to improve yourself or your quality of life? That’s what we homo sapiens on Earth do. Shouldn’t we all be …
Hello 2015!
Happy New Year! I’m back and I hope you had a great Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s Holiday. 2015. Amazing. Like I said this same day last year, when I was a child, the prospect of simply reaching the year 2000 seemed to be a significant milestone in itself that would usher in “the future.” Well, no flying cars, personal …
Happy Holidays!
Everyone please Have a Happy Thanksgiving! And since this will be my last post for 2014, please also have a happy Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day in advance. See you back in 2015! Austin
