Jeremy Rodden

I am an overeducated stay-at-home dad to three wonderful sons. I have a BA in Religion and English Writing and an MA in Education. I worked briefly as a high school English teacher before we opted to keep me home when my second son was born in 2010. As a writer, I consider C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll, Douglas Adams, and Neil Gaiman my strongest influences. I enjoy multi-layered plots, clever wordplay, and bad jokes.

FINISH HIM!

Share:FacebookTwitteremailTumblrPinterestLast week, the long awaited Mortal Kombat reboot came out.  Man, was I excited.  With so much going on in preparation for the release of Toonopolis: Gemini in about a month, it was great to have some sort of distraction that didn’t involve a juvenile/young adult novel, G-rated cartoons, fonts, formatting, and marketing efforts.  As …
