I’m participating as a pro “Owl” judge in Writing Battle’s Solstice Owl Battle starting July 17th. Writers adhere to whacky genres as well as incorporating character and object prompts into their submitted stories. $15,000 USD allocated to the Solstice Owl winners and runner-ups in each genre!

SPIDER-NOIR: The New York Times calls it a washout, and adds DOA. It's much better than that. A lovingly created caricature of film noir that's mesmerizing in its carefully created look (Dutch angles aplenty) and snappy dialogue. It's heartfelt and fun, the last thing from DOA.
