I write software and SF/F for adults and kids. I wear fun socks, am an unrepentant Cincinnati Bengals fan, and whine about adulting. Sometimes I play Elden Ring or MTG: Arena. My books are published under the name J. R. Andrews (https://jrandrewsbooks.com). Check out my books above or my blog at https://jasonarust.com.

@mattsledge Damn, I don’t remember him being in the Terminator at all! Guess I’m going to have to rewatch that next.

Seriously, though, how many movies did he and Michael Biehn do together?

And Tombstone too! I just watched it two weeks ago. How did I leave that out?

That said, I will never forget Titanic. Well, at least Kate Winslet in Titanic. The best I can recall about the rest of it was that it was long and overly melodramatic and… something about a door being big enough for two people?

@mattsledge Game over, man! Game over!

Every time I see him in something I think about how he played Chet in Weird Science and Hudson, then had roles in Apollo 13, Twister, and eventually Agents of SHIELD. It’s hard to believe it’s been like 5 years since he passed. 😞

Tonight, while watching Aliens for the first time in a decade, I realized that its score is incredibly similar to Star Trek II: Wrath of Kahn. So that’s how I learned about James Horner, how little time he had to score Aliens, and how much meddling he had to deal with from Cameron.

They said I should try to do more marketing. I wrote about pizza instead.

Fury, Unleashed

By the time you read this, one thousand, three hundred and eight-four entire days will have past since the release of my first novel, Famine. That’s three years, nine months, and fourteen day…

I sent the last part of Fury, the three-part sequel to my first JR Andrews novel, Famine, to the editor last night. Stay tuned for release details coming soon!

I really thought this book might kill me before I finished it. I can't wait to share it with the world!
