Our Enemies Can’t Laugh
Have you ever noticed that the SJWs social media feeds are filled with vague posting about anxiety, depressing, rage, and just general disdain for the world as it is? To them, the entire world is a dark, dreary place. There’s no hope, there’s no point. Yet they’ll lash out anyway. It’s part of their philosophy […]

Coming Out As A Woman
I’ve thought long and hard about this, talked with several friends over the course of the past year. This isn’t an easy decision for me, but given the current climate, I think it’s the only choice I can make. I have to be honest with myself, and therefore, honest with you, my readers. The truth […]
Pray For Worldcon
I did a periscope earlier which is one of my most important ones I think ever. As you might be aware, my WorldCon lawsuit was filed on Friday, and it got out to the media last night. It’s been a crazy day as I’m flooded with notifications both friend and foe, but i took the […]
Tor.com Calls On Writers Not To Write Female Villains
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Civil Rights Aren’t Just For Groups Of People You Like
The entire concept of civil rights is that they apply to groups of people you might be uncomfortable with over their identity. It’s a civil right because it’s a right that is due every human. “This doesn’t apply to x group” goes against the very essence of what civil rights really are. In an effort […]

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, This is of first importance, and don’t forget it.
