Once & Future DTD Comic
Devil Trap Disco was dreamed up of as a comic book series, along the way it became a Supernatural Noir novel.
Devil Trap Disco began its life as a comic book. I wrote dozens upon dozens of scripts, finally finishing ten full issues. I started working on character designs and storyboarding the first issue. That's when a thought crept in.
What if I don't get to finish the whole series?
What if one or two issues is all that ever gets printed and shipped? I kept working. But the thought didn't leave…it transformed.
A novel. I could tell the story in its entirety. Or close enough.
I was ready to push ahead with Issue 1 of the DTD comic book, but I decided, why not write a couple of chapters first?
Forty-six chapters later (seventy-eight if you count all the ones I deleted), I'm so excited to finish editing this novel and send it scratching and howling out into the night.
And one day, it may just make it’s way back to comics.
Inspiration from odd old things
It All Begins Here
It began with an antique store and a 1940s View-Master. The old faded reel was a glimpse into a different era and style of storytelling. That sparked an idea. What if it could see different versions of the past? From there Devil Trap Disco was born.
Turn Intention Into Action
It All Begins Here
Confidence doesn’t always arrive with a bold entrance. Sometimes, it builds quietly, step by step, as we show up for ourselves day after day. It grows when we choose to try, even when we’re unsure of the outcome. Every time you take action despite self-doubt, you reinforce the belief that you’re capable. Confidence isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about trusting that you can figure it out along the way.
The key to making things happen isn’t waiting for the perfect moment; it’s starting with what you have, where you are. Big goals can feel overwhelming when viewed all at once, but momentum builds through small, consistent action. Whether you’re working toward a personal milestone or a professional dream, progress comes from showing up — not perfectly, but persistently. Action creates clarity, and over time, those steps forward add up to something real.
You don’t need to be fearless to reach your goals, you just need to be willing. Willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to believe that you’re capable of more than you know. The road may not always be smooth, but growth rarely is. What matters most is that you keep going, keep learning, and keep believing in the version of yourself you’re becoming.
