I Made A Movie Last Week

Well, if you’re one of my crazy (and likely irritated) Facebook friends, you’ll know that me and my crew (Soft Drink Productions) worked on a new, short film last week.  Yeah.  That’s right.  As in DURING THE WEEK…WITH OUR FULL-TIME JOBS DURING THE DAY.

Remind me never, ever, ever to do that again.

Here’s the short n’ dirty version of…

In Which Some Stuff Happens…

Ah, Sunday.  You’ve caught me again!  It’s insane how quickly time is going by.  My parents used to tell me that it only goes faster every year and I’ll be dashed if they aren’t right.  I’ve got some bit-sized chunks of fun stuff to share, so let’s get down to it, shall we?

Jacob Alexander Troupe – The…

2010? Let’s do this.

Oh, there you are!  I was wondering if and when you were going to end up here.

So, it’s 2010 y’all.  I’m going to miss calling the past 9 or so years ‘double-aught’.  As in: Back in 2 double-aught 9, I had my Xbox go south on me.  Saddest two weeks of my life.

You know, that kind of…

Winter Nerds

Happy Holidays and all that jazz!

I’m going to come right out with it: I think little by little, the Ebenezer in me is fading.  It’s almost like I’m actually okay with the change from fall (best. season. ever.) to winter.  Sure, driving in the snow is enough to make me want to eat glass and the ear-splitting Christmas music…

The Goodhalo Revision

Well, if you were wondering if I’d abandoned my new website/blog/movie hut…I didn’t!  I’ve been working, nose to the grindstone on getting all of my author-ly ducks in a row.  The new series I did for Picture Window Books is all finished up (see ya, Bermuda Triangle!) and I drafted the two new middle grade books I’m doing for Stone…

Something Old, Something New

So, in between revising GOODHALO (I know…just get it DONE already) I’ve been finishing up the 4 book series I’m doing for PICTURE WINDOW BOOKS tenatively titled LEGEND HAS IT.  It’s the books for lil’ kids about vampires, werewolves, Bigfoot and the Bermuda Triangle.  They’ve been loads of fun, but I was really itching to do SOMETHING in the fiction…

Fun With Driver’s Licenses

I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m somewhat bizarre.  I have weird little rituals that I follow and I do strange things just because I think someday it might be funny and/or interesting for me to someday look back on.  Or, you know, tell my kids.

Example: I treat my DVDs like they’re antiques.  Seriously.  I place them…

A Dang Good Birthday Week, Yo.

Hey!  What’s this?  Two posts in ONE week?

Well, in all truth this will be quick.  As many of you may (or may not know) I turned the big 3-7 on Monday and I’ve got the gray hair(s) to prove it.

Anyway, never too exciting to have a birthday fall on a Monday, but even so my family and I…

Officially a Nerd…at 37 Years Old.

Friends of the Triple-Dubs:

Well, it’s been a long time coming, but here it is,  finally!  My own little corner of the interwebsticles.  My very own webpage!

(cue fireworks that explode all at once and make your ribcage hurt.  also: a band that plays your favorite get-pumped music)

Here’s the funny thing:  I went out probably a year or so…

The Tale of Two Kingsleys

So, yesterday was pretty much a fantastic day. I know there’s nothing more irritating than hearing someone else is having a good time, especially if it coincides with you (or those you love) NOT having a good day, but so it goes.

Yesterday, I got to go out to Red Wing, Minnesota to take part in the 10th Anniversary Celebration…
