“There are two warships insystem, mercenaries.” Last chapter, the ansibles were blown, cutting off communication. Ky has decided to take precautionary action to undock from the station and run, in case someone is coming to shoot up the station and destroy it. That decision proves effective, as we learn there are warships in the system, […]

Moved To The Point Where I Must Write
I don’t listen to much Christian music. I find, like most Christian-centric entertainment that often it is cheesy, shoddily produced, focused on shoehorning a Bible verse in rather than telling a compelling narrative or creating good characters we can relate to. I said most, before people start emailing me with links to different Christian music/books/comics/films. However, […]
In Case You Missed It – Steroids May Be Back!
Wrote an article over on Athletics Nation yesterday. I am not in the know enough to have conclusive evidence, but something doesn’t smell right. http://www.athleticsnation.com/2017/1/17/14303188/why-arent-we-talking-more-about-steroids
Trading in Danger Ch7
Trading In Danger Ch7 “—an emergency like this,” she heard. “Unprecedented, we simply have no idea what will happen now.” I’ve tried to find a good quote that exemplifies each chapter, and so far I’ve been able to do so very easily. Ms. Moon’s writing is clear, crisp and easy to follow, which is part […]
Trading in Danger Ch6
Chapter 6 opens with Vatta heading to the embassy at Sabine Prime. We learn that the situation between the planets in the situation is much more unstable than we thought. The embassy has Slotter Key residents who require passage to get off planet, as they’d been abandoned before. Ky agrees to take them aboard, which […]
My 2016 Planetary Award Nominations
As much as I of course want to nominate myself for such an award, with so few categories and as a “book blog”, I’m going to recuse my own work from this vote, which I may not do for other awards later so do stay tuned, friends and readers! Without further ado, here’s my Planetary Award […]
Gaming and the Future According to FFG
Team Covenant this week put up a pretty interesting video from a gaming business perspective. It’s a bit dry if you’re not interested in the topics, but they interviewed Fantasy Flight’s CEO Christian T. Petersen about the Asmodee merger last year, what it means, and Fantasy Flight’s direction going forward. I love Team Covenant’s videos, […]
Washington Redskins GoFundMe Update: What The Heck Do I Do With The Money
Again I want to thank everyone for the laughs, the clicks, the support. This has been a lot of fun, and as there is a time for everything under heaven, there is a time to end this campaign. I’ve been debating what to do with the funds raised for the last couple of days, as […]
What YOU Like Is Literally Hitler
The above photo is of me, while I was pretty deathly ill with bronchitis. A friend, who I won’t attribute for his own safety, added the iconic ugly mustache that was popular in the 1930s to the picture, to let me know that I, in all that I do, am literally Hitler. I thank him […]
Trading in Danger Ch5
Something was going to have to give somewhere. Here we get into the meat of the story. I’ve been talking about transitioning from exposition to complication for the last couple chapters, and here we have it! The first thing Ky does here, is confront her crew about her plotting to not follow the letter of […]
Nintendo Switch First Impressions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI – Advertisement for the Switch. Their press conference happened tonight, and Nintendo revealed their new console coming out in March. It acts as both a portable gaming device and a home console. The system parks into a cradle which then can connect to your TV for that kind of experience.
GoFundMe Update – The Washington Redskins
The outrcry of support from the public has truly been something special, as people understand my deep medical need for an Amazon Echo and a Trevor Plouffe jersey. Here’s the metrics of the campaign so far:
