So, a funny thing happened on the way to Godzilla Chapter 2…

For those of you who have read and enjoyed Chapter 1 (and if that’s you, I can’t thank you enough!), no worries: I am currently working my way through Chapter 2 and hope to have it ready to publish soon!

That said, as I was writing last night, I got to a point where I felt the need to step away and take a breather.  However, instead of closing my laptop and standing up to stretch (a.k.a. taking a breather) I instead elected to jot down some notes on another G.N.P. project.

Well, one thing led to another, and, four hours later… I may have finished the prologue to All Monsters Attack, a.k.a. Godzilla’s Revenge.

So here that is.  Unexpected, but hopefully welcome!

So now I have TWO Godzilla novels in the works!  Hopefully they continue to entertain as I continue to create them!

Wow, its finally happening!

Hello, dear reader and fellow Godzilla fan, and welcome to the first update for the GNP! To celebrate the launch of the project, the website, the… well, the everything (!), the first update will be the posting of the first chapter of the first novelization I am tackling…

The original Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) from 1954.

When thinking about this project over the years, I had always kind of known that this would be the logical place to start. It’s the literal beginning of everything, the first Godzilla story. It’s also a beautiful, important, and deservedly cherished film. In other words, it’s a huge challenge to convert to the written word. Turning something as reliant on visuals as a kaiju film into a book was always going to be a challenge, but tackling the original Godzilla is several layers of CRAZY layered into one, Daikaiju-sized challenge.

But hey, if I can make THIS one work, the other 29 and counting shouldn’t be TOO difficult… right? I guess we’ll see.

Until then, the phrase “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” has never felt so appropriate and applicable as I invite you to read – and hopefully enjoy – Chapter 1 of Godzilla: The Unofficial Novelization:

Read it here.

Stay tuned for more chapters and further updates soon!

(NOTE: Posted chapters will always, in one way or another, be a work in progress. The chapter above will very likely be changed and edited multiple times as the project continues. This could be as simple as fixing a typo or changing a word, or something more substantial like adding or subtracting entire paragraphs. When possible (or deemed significant enough by me to mention), I’ll update you on what was changed. This process will, hopefully, allow me to craft the best book I can over time. And make no mistake: this WILL take time, and lots of it. But I’m in for the long haul if you are!)
