Worldcon 76 Committee Member Attacks Hispanic Author With Fake Review
One would think that while Worldcon was in a lawsuit with me over their defamatory statement calling me a “racist bully” that they would at the very least instruct their committee members not to further tamper with my business or try to harm my reputation over their angry extremist political stances. Well, it looks like […]

A Phenomenal Review + The Lunch Stream with Brian Niemeier
I received about the most substantive review of Flying Sparks to date last night from Elzibar.

Book Blast: Levon’s War by Chuck Dixon
Anyone who follows me knows that Chuck Dixon is one of my favorite comic writers. If comics had a Grand Master status, he would definitely have earned it.
