-MAD: MR. Wellington, it’s really awesome to speak with you, thanks for taking some time with us. I just finished reading your MONSTER TRILOGY and could tell from the start that this is definitely an instant classic of the “zombie apocalypse” sub-genre of horror literature, and just an all together great series of books even if you aren’t necessarily a fan of horror! When did you first realize that you wanted to be an author, and how did the genesis of the MONSTER TRILOGY first come into fruition?

-D.W.: I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I started when I was six years old. Thirty years later, I was getting a little frustrated that I’d never been published. So I put my new book online, thinking that at least people would get a chance to read it. Enough of them did that I got a book deal out of it. I was pretty excited.

OK, Part of my Christmas Wish List...

Don't know quite know how I missed this series. Also really, really need to catch up on EXILES and DOOM PATROL.

In some cases, these myths are so bizarre that they scream fabrication; however most of them are regarded as “a true account of the remote past".

How to make your own Green Lantern ring

“Here’s how to make your own resin cast Green Lantern ring. This a complete overhaul of my original instructable on how to make a Green Lantern ring, which previously only showed how a cast sterling silver ring is created. Since many people don’t have access to silver casting equipment I decided to show how to cast a ring in resin and also how to make a translucent resin version that glows.”
