In an absurd rambling about “gender imbalance,” Tor has really gone off the rails this time in an effort to tell creatives what they can and can’t write in their content:But the trouble is that all of these types, no matter how much fun they are, share a common thread: villains who are women are […]

How Can You Support The Civil Rights Cause?
Hello all. Thanks for being here and reading as always. I love, value, and cherish you for real, and I try my best to engage and show that to all of my readers. Hopefully I succeed in that. People clicking tonight may have heard the news that I have filed suit against Worldcon for their […]
Never Give An Inch To SJWs, OdysseyCon Learns
You might remember last year, when I made an effort with several other great authors to support OdysseyCon, after SJW author Monika Valentinelli decided to torch the convention last minute and flake as a guest, citing that she literally couldn’t even that some man was going to be there who made an off color joke […]
Book Blast: Imani Earns Her Cape: A Middle Grade Novel by Bokerah Brumley
We love highlighting authors who are fighting the good fight over here, and Bokerah is one of those authors who does great works. She just released a clean reads middle-grade targeted novel, and we should support her efforts. If you have middle grade or young reader types, think of going this direction before something like […]

Marketing And Mindset: What To Learn From #FearlessMen #FearlessWomen
When readers discovered my science novella, “Gravity Of The Game” (hint: you can get it for free up top this site by signing up for my mailing list), the commentary. I received the most was “I don’t love baseball, but it’s very clear you do, and I loved this book despite not being interested […]
JDA Books Presents a Year of #FearlessMen

Beginning this summer, meet a new generation of #FearlessMen who […]
What You Missed In #MisandryInPublishing Last Week Will Shock You
Misandry in publishing is very real. It’s a women’s game, as I produced evidence with in science fiction, a genre with a false-perception that it’s the only man-controlled wing of publishing, last year. What happened when I called it out? The president of the lone trade guild in science fiction, SFWA, actively tried to destroy […]
Robert A. Heinlein Is J.K. Rowling
…at least to the right-libertarian crowd. You can’t go through a single conversation about books, science fiction, anything without Heinlein being invoked as if he’s some kind of deity, or as if his future history is somehow prophecy (even though it was kinda poorly strung together later as a retcon to make them all in […]
The Happy Frogs Hugo Awards Slate Is Creating Waves At File 770
Like clockwork, the crazies at File 770 went hard on attacking me, Christianity, everything the last couple of days and this morning as they saw the OFFICIAL Happy Frogs Hugos slate. Being on the Happy Frogs slate is honestly a greater honor than the Hugo Awards themselves, so I know most of the writers are […]
My New Patreon Short Story Is One Of My Best
I wrote a fairly long story this month for the short, but it’s one that I’d been developing conceptually for awhile. It’s got a lot of cross-genre elements to it, as I mashed up a lot together. It’s standalone, not in any of my other worlds (though I thought of a sequel story to it […]
