At Home with Ione Skye and Ben Lee, Stellar April 17, 2022

/

A heady whiff of nostalgia seems to follow actor Ione Skye and her husband, Australian musician Ben Lee, wherever they go, given the legacy of her 1989 teen classic Say Anything… and the smile-inducing joy to be had any time his rousing 2005 hit “Catch My Disease” comes on the radio. In a rare joint interview and photo shoot from their part-time home in Los Angeles, they banter about the highs and lows of their 13-year marriage, talk about their latest projects and reveal what they’re reading in their loved-up book club of two

Books and bookazines 2021 through February 2022

/

Although I have spent my whole career in the magazine business, I learned much more about it in 2021. That’s a good thing, I suppose, that I can still pick up new things this far along in my working life! Along with a core team of writers, editors, and illustrators, I’ve helped conceive, edit, and write 10 bookazines for Jacket LLC and 10TenMedia, distributed by Bauer North America. And there’s more to come! Thank you to the Pod for making these possible.

Below the collection of covers is the main cover and masthead for ESL: Moving to the Next Level, a commemorative bookazine for the Electronic Sports League’s 20th anniversary. I helped edit and wrote four stories for this issue, available in a digital presentation through Zinio and on ESL’s main site.
