The interrogation of J.B. “Jerry” Manas is fascinating for anyone who has an inclination towards writing, although the concepts and advice wound through this can apply to subjects much broader than just writing. Usually, subjects of my interrogations are pliable, but it took this co-author of The Kronos Interference a little while to open up, and when he did… it wasn’t Intel we found inside, it was wisdom.

Agent Margaret “Peggy” Carter is getting her own mini-series. So, why should we care?
Well, if you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and regardless of whether you’re a fan of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or not – she’s an integral part of the history of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Without Agent Carter, their could very well be no S.H.I.E.L.D., so try to have a little respect. Besides, she keeps really good company.

One of my favorite shows is “The West Wing,” and as much as I may be a super-fan, designer John White has taken it one step further.
With SeventeenPeople.com, White has created a wonderful “live infographic” about one of the best and most classic “non-Dire-Straits-featuring episodes” of “The West Wing” – an hour of television known as “17 People.”
The episode itself, at its core, is about Toby learning the President has M.S. While everything else may be going on around them, this is the central point which, when it aired, had a great impact on what followed.

Sterling Malory Archer has written a book about how to be him. That’s right, Archer, code named “Duchess”, the narcissistic, misogynistic, suave, hyper-sexed, alcoholic, spy of all spies has written a book about not just being a spy, but about being the best spy – himself.
From the beginning Archer sets up the tone of this humorously entertaining educational how-to book.
“A how-to book?! A book can’t teach someone how to be equal parts deadly and sexy! That’s like asking a cobra to write a book about how to be a cobra!”
