Should THE ACOLYTE get a Season 2??
The recent cancellation of STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE is one of the most divisive decision of recent fandom; while some HATE it, there's also a BIG grassroots campaign to get DISNEY+ to give it another season.
Here's my thoughts:..........and yeah, they're just as split.

THE BOOKS OF JEFF SHAW (PART 3)
มุมมอง 49 หลายเดือนก่อน
Finishing off Jeff Shaw's books with his most recent, and for me, his best book. Leann, who was a supporting character in LT. TRUFANT, is on the run, returning to her homeland Singapore. However, almost immediately, she's kidnapped and subjected to a sex trafficking ring. However, being a killer herself, what does it mean when the predators have captured another predator?? Definitely check out ...
The Books of Jeff Shaw (Part 2)
มุมมอง 119 หลายเดือนก่อน
After his first novel, I checked out WHO I AM: THE MAN BEHIND THE BADGE, Shaw's memoir of his decades-long career as a police officer in Florida. Very much an "Everyman" story dealing with the crime and decay in 80s and 90s America, with plenty of tragedy but just as much gentle moments.

    Brad, thank you again for this great review of my career. Those years in Law Enforcment were often horrific and depressing, but the good times and the experience of helping others balanced out everything else. They were the best and most rewarding years of my life. - Jeff

    • @van8ryan
      @van8ryan 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Your attitude throughout the book really made it engaging (both the horror and downs totally relatable), but the humor you could find through those experiences also brought that great balance.

  • @JeffShaw-yn7ri
    @JeffShaw-yn7ri 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you for the kind review, Brad. As I built Trufant's character, and that's the why I describe creating my characters, I wanted him to be realistic. He is a combination of my self and those great detectives I worked with. He/we all have our flaws and unfortunately they are often generic. But I didn't want him to be immune to any of those pressures and so he does come off as a bit cliche although I never thought of it that way. David Armstrong is also one of my favorite characters. Again thanks for this kind review. I pray you do well in this new endeavor. Jeff

    • @van8ryan
      @van8ryan 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      David definitely made the book (you literally lived through the decay of his life). Like I said, Trufant's not a bad character, but he just wasn't as memorable for a lead character. But the Cons are far and few and all 3 of your books are good. Here's hoping you gain more readers from this.

Anyway, I always find it interesting to hear stories of people who were old enough to understand the gravity of 9/11 when it happened. I was old enough to "know" what the big news story was about, but not mature enough to truly understand it.

      yeah i think that opening paragraph - something about a split melon? - is an amazing outpouring of language. I won't lie, i can't say i was enthralled by every minute of it. There's like a 60 page description of his granddad's racing hounds and a 30 page description of a hair cut! But part two is a lot more fun, a little like a more highborow 'Stand By Me' and the final segent is Mexico is, if anything, too short. Felt kind of abrupt. But i want to read it again (lost my copy somehwere) because i agree with the bloke on the documentary who says 'he's on the genius end of fiction writing curve.'

    Nice video Brad. There's a couple of things I must say: First, you seem much more natural in front of a camera than I am. My first video shows me nervous and for some reason I'm a little bouncy with my body language. Second thing, I am very similar in that I prefer female friends over most guys. Women are more mature, they can have fun that doesn't lead to trouble, and they're much prettier. But I can tell by listening to your reasoning behind an all-female cast that you know what you want and what you do not want from your novel. I think that's great and it puts you ahead of so many others who have no idea where to start. I hope to see you novel online or on a shelf for sale someday, somewhere.
