One thing I’ve never quite been able to wrap my head around is how the Apostles were so upbeat in the midst of jail, beatings, facing certain death, all because they wouldn’t shut up about the Good News of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. These last couple of months there’s a been a lot of trials in […]

A New Way To Twitter
Hey everyone, a brief update here. You might have seen lately that my twitter is reactivated. I did this because someone warned me that I could actually have my account name taken by someone else, and given the way that the creepers have acted in the past, I figured they would do so to me. […]
Winning Indie Author Mindset (Part 2)
Last time we ended with a challenge to make sure beginning writers make writing a habit, and do so for 21 days straight. But then what? So, You’ve Got A Book Write another. And then another. I’ll stop you here. If you were thinking one book is going to be the way to indie success, […]
Comic Review: Skies Of Fire
I haven’t been reviewing much as of late because it’s a bit harder to do reviews as an author with a platform like mine, but I want to make an exception here for Skies of Fire, simply because I loved the book so much. The book was Kickstarter over the summer, comprising of the first […]
Winning Indie Author Mindset (Part 1)
A lot of people have asked me to write up my experiences as my books keep gaining more traction, continually selling despite establishment publishing being vocally opposed to me, and my main novels being in a very niche genre (YA Steampunk). How does it all keep going and what do I do to make it […]
Alt-Hero Q Crowdfund Campaign
With the bannings increasing, with the crazies really going all out to make sure we can’t be heard, it’s always best to start our own platforms where we can’t be tampered with, we can’t have the rug swept out from under us. It’s been frightening watching IndieGoGo and the fallout from the atrocious move they […]
Banned by r/fantasy
r/fantasy is censoring your favorite humble Hispanic author (me). This group, supposedly about books and fiction in the genre I write, is removing comments when I make them. I’ve violated no rules, I simply posted the following to this thread: If you click on the thread, my comments are deleted. They took down my commentary […]
Who Are The Modern Masters of Sci-Fi
Got a blog question from David this morning asking who I consider to be the modern masters of sci-fi, a great question. Off the top of my head: John C. Wright Mark Wandrey Robert Kroese Lois McMaster Bujold Richard Fox Elizabeth Moon Jay Allan Daniel Arenson Robert Venditti (X-O Manowar and Green Lantern modern comics) […]
Is Twitter Beneficial?
I received a reader message this morning imploring that I should get back on twitter, that my 5000 or so fans on there want to interact with me and by bailing I signal to the other side that they win. It’s an interesting dilemma. I have a few problems with Twitter beyond the immediate insanity […]
Don’t Forget: Special Lunch Stream Today!
It’s going to be a ton of fun. Pick up Make Science Fiction Fun Again on Kindle and read along with us as we go through our first co-written story “Unsafe (In) Space”. And a reader sent me this fun image below: the collection is already in the top 10 new releases. The only problem […]
The Cardinal Mistake With SJWs and Robert Silverberg
Robert Silverberg, a science fiction legend who’s responsible for editing some of the greatest sci-fi anthologies and short fiction collections of all time, among having one of the biggest writing careers in sci-fi himself, had a private email list with a few friends over the summer. On the list, he made commentary about NK Jemisin’s […]
