This weekend I went to see Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets. I saw it was the most expensive indie movie ever made, and that Luc Besson was involved, of Fifth Element fame – which might actually be the greatest science fiction movie of all time. So I figured, why not? I got […]
#AntiFascistSFF – A Flawless Victory!
Yesterday was beautiful. We garnered so much support for tolerance and a real culture change in science fiction publishing that it shut down the people trying to stir up hate. My hands hurt a little bit from my piano performance yesterday, so I’m going to try to periscope some of these thoughts more and post […]

Watch My Hugo Award Commentary Live On The Official Transcript
https://121captions.1capapp.com/event/hugoawards# I’m on there, Jon Del Arroz. is the link. There was a youtube channel but white male old-guard establishment science fiction harassers swore at me on repeat, and then worldcon silenced and censored your humble leading HIspanic voice in Science Fiction for receiving that treatment. Not right. I expect an apology from Worldcon. […]
Are Sci-Fi Conventions Worth It?
Over on VP this morning, Vox wrote this morning about why he doesn’t attend sci-fi conventions. It was a cheeky post with basically the message of “I’d rather have fun doing ANYTHING with normal people than listening to a crowd of nerds talk about stuff like this.” I laughed. And there’s a good point to that worth […]
There’s Good News Out There – The Tide Is Turning
In my capacity as an independent journalist, I post a lot about corruption, blackballing, and hatred being spewed by large corporations and media conglomerates, especially ones that attack independent individual artists, workers or their end users for a product. There’s a perception by some (albeit very rare, and mostly among my detractors) that I’m angry […]
New Books Worth Checking Out
It’s been a crazy week, and all of this stuff below I wanted to get to individually, but given the way I’ve been relentlessly attacked by John Scalzi, and then something I haven’t publicized much in that I’ve been defamed in a writers group called The Codex Writers by some pretty big people in the […]
John Scalzi’s Dragon Awards Act Of Master Persuasion — And Why It’ll Backfire
I never expect to wake up in the morning, head onto the internet, try to make overtures of peace to a crowd and get a passive-aggressive twitter rant directed my way. But by the same token, I’m not going to be unfair to John Scalzi here. I see what went on from his perspective, and […]
In The Wake Of The Dragon Awards, Baycon Doubles Down
Vox Day has been quite vocal about his laws of SJWs, starting with his first book, SJWs Always Lie. We saw this immediately after my being removed as a speaker, when folk who were running the convention took to the hate/smear fake news site, File 770, in order to try to destroy an independent artist […]
First Post-Dragons Interview With Your Favorite Multiple Award Nominated Author!
There’s a few presses that I buy every single book they come out with in order to support them. The first, obviously, is Castalia House. My second in that category is Enclave Publishing. They bring beautiful sci-fi and fantasy to a Christian market, with authors who are good people worth supporting. So I was thrilled when […]
Three Big Breaking Stories That You Won’t See In The Media
In Corporate Discriminitory News: Someone tweeted in support of the president, who then RTd it. Twitter immediately went through and suspended the account. Apparently, from the blue check mark stalkers who were all over this in an attempt to spin this nonsense, the person attempted to sell the account in a tweet (it had a […]
For Steam And Country – Now on Kindle Unlimited
I had a great conversation with my publisher today and with the exciting news about the Dragon Award nomination for Star Realms: Rescue Run, we agreed it’d be a great thing to run a promotion for my other novel, For Steam And Country. If you haven’t checked it out, go do so! It’s extremely well […]
