I'm a writer and producer. Currently developing several television concepts as well as feature film projects. My most recent book is Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Complete Series - Volume 2, which includes reprints of the vintage Gold Key comic book stories. I also wrote The Future was FAB: The Art of Mike Trim, chronicling artist Mike Trim's career designing models and special effects for Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, UFO, and illustrating the cover for Jeff Wayne's musical War of the Worlds album.
I'm also the creator of Sleighted: The Vintage Magic Blog, which can be found online at http://www.sleighted.blogspot.com/. Sleighted covers all aspects of vintage magic, magicians and the culture of retro theatrical magic from sleight of hand to grand illusion.
I was one of the forces behind the documentary film, Full Boost Vertical: The Supercar Story, the definitive behind the scenes look at the Supermarionation television series.
I was a monthly columnist for Toy Shop Magazine for 12 years covering garage kits and sci-fi collectibles. I was a regular contributor and editor for the British magazine Sci-Fi & Fantasy Models International, and contributed a chapter on the Flying Sub miniatures from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea for the book From Sketch to Screen. My articles have appeared in FilmFax, Amazing Figure Modeler, Effects Special, Modeler's Resource, and many other magazines. I also designed and co-edited CultTVMan's Ultimate Modeling Guide to the Jupiter II as well as CultTVMan's Ultimate Modeling Guide to Classic Sci-Fi Movies, available at http://www.culttvman.com/ .
