Yesterday the internet started blowing up at Chuck Tingle, the silly erotica author who we all know from his ridiculous book titles. At the beginning of 2017, he partnered with Zoe Quinn to make a video game based on his book series. They did this on Kickstarter and raised about $85,000. All looked okay for […]

The Breitweisers Back Out Of Convention Because Of Unsafe Environment
Conservative creators have had issues at conventions for about a year now. It started with Worldcon 76’s unwillingness to protect me despite the fact that I had credible threats against me, which I sent to them and, instead of taking actions to help authors creators, they banned me because of my outspoken political views. This […]
Will SFWA Act Like A Professional Organization This Time?
Last week saw the end of my Flying Sparks IndieGoGo campaign, which has now made over $28,000. As a single work graphic novel, it by itself makes more money than most members of SFWA have made in writing in their entire lifetimes. Under the rules of the guild, a single qualifying work of $3,000 or […]
The Anti-ComicsGate Industry Surge Is About Harassing And Scaring People
I was shocked yesterday to see the attack on Alterna Comics, a small independent comic creator on the East Coast. They’ve been innovating within the industry by bringing back newsprint — making comic books affordable for everyone. I pick up their entire line and it’s usually between $6-10 a month just because of their titles […]
We’re Getting Too Big – They’re Coming Hard For Us
But we need to hold our ground. Think about this: it’s been four months with more than a dozen wildly successful crowdfunded comics. This does not happen in crowdfunds, comics do not get this kind of publicity on average, the industry is shaken. None of them can believe it. They keep trying to write this […]
This Is It. The Last Hurrah!
For Flying Sparks that is. It’s been a wild ride on this indiegogo campaign. I could have never expected receiving this incredible level of support for my comic, Flying Sparks. It really is a testament to this movement and how we’re changing the industry. Most crowdfunds for first time indie comics creators are barely able […]

ComicsGate Will Win Because Of Loyalty
The most telling part of this industry is the way loyalties are divided. The people who fight ComicsGate are loyal first to brand – Disney, Warner Bros in their comic publishing form of Marvel and DC. Those loyalties then break down to characters created more than 50 years ago by Stan Lee and others that […]
The Winners And Losers Of Worldcon 76
Worldcon 76 is over! What a nightmare. These people really had no business running a convention which they proved when they banned a popular Hispanic conservative author for the mere act of existing as the wrong identity. We had a video on Thursday where I went in and peacefully attempted to buy a ticket. Lori […]
Leaving The Area For The Weekend
Unfortunately, due to family health reasons, I’ll be unable to attend further Worldcon related events this weekend. I have to leave the area because of the heavy smoke and bad air quality. Health takes priority. The protest against pedophilia is still on, and will be happening from 1-4 PM tomorrow (Saturday) and there’s expected to […]
Pray For My Safety At Worldcon
Later today, I’m heading to Worldcon 76 in San Jose, the convention that made a proclamation as to my banning because I voiced safety concerns to them, and they decided to make a political statement by disregarding my safety concerns and instead attacked the victim, which has frankly led to my entire career being a […]
The Blood Of Giants Release Day!
I’m so pumped for this book. It is leaps and bounds better than my other work and I’ve been waiting to release this almost all year. Zaira’s finally come into her own. She’s learning to command her airship and crew, and there’s so much development here. You’re absolutely going to love this book. It’s got […]
