WunderFrau Webisode 1

WunderFrau is a comedic webisode series shot Astoria, NY. WunderFrau focuses on the story of a certain Super Heroine's "Simple" cousin, Dotty and her mildly super adventures.


My wife's cousin, Karl Bischoff (KBLZ Productions LLC), is a talented photographer and aspiring film maker.

What I want to know is: Where can I get a "Brick of Truth"? I imagine it is not as effective at the "Lasso of Truth", but probably much more satisfying...

1634: The Galileo Affair


1634: The Galileo Affair

This is what I am currently reading. An interesting and fun series to read. This is the third or fourth book, depending on if you count the anthology of short stories "Ring of Fire". (I count it).

I've read 1632 and 1633, which I enjoyed immensley. I think I've learned more about 17th century Europe through these novels than I ever did in school. After these two books, the series becomes less linear. The subsequent novels, like history itself, branches. I am curious to see how the continuity of story is maintained with each of these branches, particularly since they are co-authored.

The Draco Tavern


I liked this book, The Draco Tavern. It was a collection of short stories, or vingettes, all (or mostly all) taking place inside the Tavern at the Spaceport that was established in Siberia by aliens. Each story was pretty much self contained, like most sitcom episodes are.

Reading these stories was kind of like watching episodes of Cheers, only they were Sci-Fi and not so much Comedy.

Rick Schumann, the bartender, is the only recurring character in all the stories. He is pretty much the main thread throughout all the stories.
