That's it. We're out of time. Ready or not, we are on a plane and Toronto-bound tomorrow morning. I'm super anxious about flying with the dogs - but have done my best to prepare them for the four and half hour in-cabin flight. I spent an hour on the phone with Air Canada, making the…
October 16, 2014: Dark Matter! Casting! The Ramp-up! Oh, and my birthday!
So now that it's official, I can finally talk about my new show, Dark Matter, and my plans for the series and this blog in the lead-up to season premiere (sometime in 2015). As most of you know, while I was working on Stargate this blog offered fans a peak at the inner workings of the…
October 15, 2014: Dark Matter!
Big news! I'm not crazy after all - http://tvline.com/2014/10/15/syfy-acquires-dark-matter-graphic-novel-adaptation/ http://www.gateworld.net/news/2014/10/stargate-producers-bring-dark-matter-to-syfy/ So I DIDN'T imagine the whole thing. Unless, of course, this is also part of my elaborate, ongoing hallucination and those url's actually link to the live cam of a cat hotel in Cornwall. But, just in case, I'd like to thank a few of the…
November 28, 2013: A Thanksgiving mailbag!
Happy Thanksgiving to our American viewers! How are your turduckens and piecakens coming along? Let's see the pics! Hey! When's the last time we did a mailbag? Maggiemayday writes: "I'm looking at planning my 2015 spring vacation and Vancouver is an option. So, is April or May a decent time to visit? We visited Vermont…
April 16, 2013: Dark Matter developments! Mailbag! My dog eating kale chips!
First things first! My french bulldog, Lulu, eating kale chips. Please raise volume to maximum before viewing: One of the worst kept secrets on this blog has been the identity of that scifi series Paul and I have been trying to set up. As many of you know, back when we were working on Stargate,…
January 23, 2012: Blog Hopping Dark Matter!
A few weeks ago, I was invited to take part in The Next Big Thing blog hop. And what, pray tell, is a "The Next Big Thing blog hop"? Well, it involves me answering a set of ten questions on a recent or upcoming release on this blog, and then forwarding the same questions to…
January 17, 2013: Stargate Q&A! Blog Hop! Introducing Fernando!
Hurrah! I'm pleased to announce a new Stargate-related Q&A! Mark Nicholson joined the franchise in SG-1's tenth season (Atlantis's third) and worked BEHIND the scenes, helping to build a lot of the amazing things you saw IN the scenes. He was with us until the very end, Universe's last episode, and, along the way, his…
November 16, 2012: Dark Matter! Mystery Projects! More J-pop and K-pop videos! And the mailbag!
Whew. What a day! It started with a doctor's appointment and ended with a conference call about an exciting potential new project. In between, I fielded texts, emails, and phone calls about Dark Matter, read what Paul has written so far on that "other" project, talked to a lawyer, met with my bank rep, and…
September 26, 2012: Spinning our creative wheels! Dark Matters! Days of Stargate Atlantis past! Midway!
My writing partner, Paul, came over for Day #2 of our spinning session for the new pilot script we're working on. Next to starting a script and, perhaps, passing a kidney stone, there's nothing more painful than outlining a story, especially in those first few days. Ideas are pitched. They're shot down. The story is…

No sooner do I return home than I am preparing for my next trip - this one to L.A. in a couple of weeks. Tomorrow, Paul and I get on the phone with our agent to discuss the specifics: when we're going, how long we're staying, who we'll be meeting while in town and, most…
July 15, 2012: Dark Matter at Comic Con!
I'm pleased to report that the Dark Matter signing was a rousing success. I actually made it to the booth on time, people actually showed up, and nobody standing in line stepped up to my counter to order a milkshake and fries. I met some great fans, chatted Stargate and Dark Matter, signed a few comic…
July 14, 2012: Comic Con Day #2!
"I've never seen so much drunk zombies." - Akemi walking home after drinks at the Hilton last night. Well, not really Comic Con Day #2. Actually, the second half of Day #1 and part of Day #2 as the festivities are ongoing. Today = my Dark Matter signing. Where: The Dark Horse Booth (#2615) When: 4:00…
July 13, 2012: Comic Con!
Whenever I travel, the excitement of the upcoming trip is always somewhat muted by the fact that I'll be leaving my dogs behind. I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for the fact that the dogs KNOW we're leaving and get downright depressed. Bubba paces, Lulu tries to squeeze in as much play time…
