Write The Fight Right
“The best way for a writer to learn what’s really involved in brawling, short of going down the pub and starting something.”
I’ve made mention here a few times of the forthcoming movie of The Watchmen, based on one of the greatest novels of all time (graphic or otherwise). The official site has just released this teaser poster.
My interest is piqued, but my scepticism remains intact.

Welcome to the website of author Alan Baxter.
I write dark fantasy, sci fi and horror, ride a motorcycle and love my dog. I also teach Kung Fu, hence the Warrior Scribe tag above. A friend once referred to me that way and I liked it, so it stuck. Learn all about me and my work by clicking About Alan just below the header.
Our world is built on language and storytelling. Without stories, we are nothing.
The Word is a place to learn more about me, my stories and the words of others. Click the links along the top for all kinds of stuff, search the sidebars for loads of other stuff, click on book covers for reviews and previews, enjoy the blog and don't be shy to share your words, in comments or send me an email:

Seen the trailer? I’m cautiously excited…
Yeah, I’ve seen that. Then again, the trailer for Dude, Where’s My Car made that look like a really funny movie. I’m hopeful but very dubious about the Watchmen movie.
The latest full trailer that just came out along with the fact that it’s Zack Snyder directing has pretty much sealed the deal for me I think.
Yeah, I just saw that. Looks slo-mo-riffic. I’m keeping up my optimism. Cautiously.
