Well, here we are at the end of 2024. The next time I talk to you all, it will be 2025, a new year with new challenges and new triumphs.
This past year was a time of change for myself. In my professional life, in particular, I made a major change by putting my nationally-syndicated radio program Fat Guys at the Movies to bed. While I still contribute to Westwood One’s American in the Morning every weekday, and I have a new movie review every Friday on the show, it has meant a major change in my viewing habits.
But that has opened up time for this Substack and the writing that I do.
In 2024, me and my creative partner Benjamin Géza have developed the BlockHeadZ comic strip. I am quite proud of that one.
I also spearheaded my 99 Shots Project, offering a new short-short story every week.
I have also finalized several projects, including my second science fiction analogy COSMIC TALES on Kindle and in paperback. I have finished the audiobook for THE ORGAN GRINDER.
In 2025, I have a lot of projects lined up. You should see the publication of THE ECHOES IN THE JEKYLL HOUSE as well as the audiobook of my non-fiction book MOVIE TRUTH: REAL ANSWERS TO REEL QUESTIONS.
Other writing projects I have in the queue include the technothriller THEY HISS!, the choose-your-own-adventure story THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING NERD, and another installment in the stories from Revolution, Ohio: THE BARLOW TAPES.
Keep your eye on this space, and enjoy!

GET TO KNOW ME! by Kevin Carr
It was one of those team-building exercises everyone hated. To make things worse, it was a Saturday, so the rest of the building was all-but deserted.
Cindy, the manager, made everyone sit in a circle.
“Okay,” she said with a false grin through too much make-up. “Let’s all tell everyone something interesting about ourselves.”
Almost everyone’s response was as boring as you’d expect. Until they got to Greg.
An evil grin spread across his face. “Hi,” he said. “I’m Greg, and I was the last to come in. I’m a serial killer, and I locked that door behind me.”
THE END
