My name is Bryan Crump. I am an artist and photographer. I am always looking to network with fellow artisans, so if you are a model, photographer, artist, sculptor, into music or whatever creative form it may be, feel free to send me a note. I do a lot of different things and am focusing on my...
I'm going to use this blog to blog about books. I'm almost finished with this one now. I'm really enjoying it, although it is rather creepy. It caused me to have a very disturbing nightmare, and I'm having some trouble separating from it today. This book is about a very different world where some...
This is a futuristic fantasy for young adult readers. I am not very far into it but really enjoying it so far - much more so than this other one that I read recently. Fearless had similar themes (ie, about girls in a brave new world where things not as they seem) but was more allegorical so I found...
I haven't written much about books lately but I just finished Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind last night and it's kind of itching for a writeup. Let me first say that I'm an unabashed fan of epic fantasy, and it's mainly the ever-longer gaps between installments of George R.R. Martin's A Song...

If there's one thing that I've learned over the eons, it's that you can't give up on your family, how matter how tempting they make it. It doesn't matter if they hate you, or embarrass you, or simply don't appreciate your genius for inventing the Internet--

For those of you who loved Garden Spells (2007) as I did, I highly recommend Sarah Addison Allen's second book, The Sugar Queen. Another review said it was the perfect dessert: it’s sweet but not sappy, nutty but not ‘chock full of nuts’. As with Garden Spells, there are magical elements and...
The more developed we become, the more technologically connected we get, the more we regret the loss of our privacy. The media and internet blogs and chat groups wail that we can't keep anything private any more. What I wonder is: Why? Granted, there are personal matter such as finances that are...

There's been another cover version of one of my original songs. This time it's "Broadcast fantasy". It was performed by "PetesBehr" on Youtube. It sounds like an unplugged version. He has done a cover version of one of my songs before. I think that this differs quite a bit from the original song,...
