This blog tracks the epic of kick-starting a whole writing career, with spies and thrillers, now saints and vampires. I cover the creative process, stuff that blows up, history, philosophy, and theology. If you like any or all of the above, you'll like this one. We talk about comic books, movies, music, and writing. Usually, all at the same time. [Note: All Amazon links here are associate links. Which means nothing to you, but it means Declan Finn gets a few pennies for the sale. Thank you.]

The Weapons of DragonCon, 2014
I had figured that I'd have the videos of my very own up by now. And I might. But this is a bit of a bonus. Kevin Dockery writes books on weapons. I even have one of them. At DragonCon, he runs The Armory. And here are three -- count 'em, three!-- lectures he gave on them.
Yes, these are from 2013, but I think you'll like it anyway.
Impact weapons
Armor
Swords.

Breakfast with Saul Rubinek and Warehouse 13 @DragonCon, 2014
The show was fun if you could turn off your brain and just watch it. Saul Rubinek, though, is a character actor I've enjoyed for years. I also saw Saul Rubinek at breakfast in the Hilton buffet every morning, and I swear he wasn't breaking character.

Amy Acker is a Person of Interest @DragonCon2014
I have an irrational love of the show Person of Interest. The main character is basically Batman with guns. How can you not love that premise?

Bringing Harry Dresden to life, @DragonCon
Remember when I mentioned that The Dresden Files was a tv show?
Paul Blackthorn, currently on Arrow, played Dresden in the TV show. I think Jim Butcher did an admirable job of not going postal.
If you're wondering what I'm talking about, you can refer to previous DragonCon reports, and listen to some of his hesitancy when answering questions about the show itself below.

@DragonCon, 2014: An Hour with Jim Butcher
It's fun listening to author Jim Butcher, if only to hear someone else be such a nerd.
Butcher is the author of The Dresden Files novels. There was, briefly, a tv show that ... ended badly.

Adam Baldwin @DragonCon 2014
I'm back from DragonCon. My usual, typed reports will probably be taking a backseat to videos this year. Some of which I recorded personally. However, to start with, I'm found better video taken from other people.
First up, Adam Baldwin, actor, no relation to the Baldwin brothers.
I enjoy just listening to this guy. The actor who usually plays thugs and tough guys is actually a lot more interesting in real life. Enjoy

More Music to write to: Tarja Turunen
This is sung by former Nightwish lead singer Tarja Turunen. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the song, Where were you last night? but I can write to it easily enough. But the video is shiny, and I have obviously run out of things to blog about lately.
And DragonCon is later
