Did a nice interview with Russ Meyer over on his blog. Which was a lot of fun, talked about mostly writing and culture war topics. So, Jon…what’s up?(ie, tell us a little about yourself) I’ve dialed back a lot of stuff in order to just focus on fiction writing lately. That means less journalistic writing, […]
Despite The Alt-Left Trolling, My Lawsuit Against Worldcon is Going Forward
Last week we received news of my lawsuit against Worldcon 76, which I made for their wanton discrimination of me because I’m a vocal conservative author and the defamation they used to justify it by calling me a “racist bully” on their website. There are two major components to the suit, both very important because […]
Why Bother Being Republican?
The latest case of Chase Bank’s removal of Martina Markota’s bank account, over what appears to be for no reason other than her being a vocal right winger, is just another example of why the Republican Party does nothing except for harm you as an individual. If it’s known you’re a republican, you’re going to […]
Make Science Fiction Fun Again Now On Audiobook
Very excited to get this short story collection out on audio, including fan-favorite novella “Gravity of the Game”. This took quite a while to make because of the length of the book, so it should be well worth it on the audio side. It’s available through audible, so if you have a credit, now’s the […]
Flying Sparks, Alt-Hero Cover Reveals and More!
If you missed the lunch stream today you missed a LOT. I read the prologue to the alt-hero novel, showed everything on the Flying Sparks Volume 2 Kickstarter coming soon, and went through every single comic project with preview pages. Did you know I have EIGHT graphic novels in development? I’m running circles around the […]
Mainstream Publishing Has Changed A Lot – And For The Worse
Author S. Andrew Swann stops by today to give his take on the craziness in YA Publishing as of late. I published my first novel, Forests of the Night, in 1993. I was in my twenties and had all the emotions one would expect from a debut novelist. I was getting published! The world was […]
Legendary RPG Designer Banned Because Of Phony #MeToo Claims
Breaking news is that a gaming convention, GaryCon, just cut a guest of honor from their convention, Frank Mentzer, because of “harassment” allegations. The convention circuits seem to be stepping up their nonsense in recent weeks since the Vic Mignogna allegations in Anime. Like usual, conventions are trying to out-woke each other. Frank is one […]
For Steam And Country Revised Edition Now In Print!
Last week I mentioned we did a re-edit of For Steam And Country and brought it up to my modern writing standards with professional formatting (and we added a nice timeline to the back of the book as bonus content which goes over the history of Rislandia). We also put together a nice Wiki of […]
We Don’t Need An AnimeGate
Rumblings about AnimeGate have been going on the last few days in conjunction with a story I talked about on the blog a couple of weeks ago, voice actor Vic Mignonia being targeted on Twitter for what amounts to the guy being overly-flirty at conventions with fans. The #MeToo movement acted to an extreme, and, […]
Movie Review: They Shall Not Grow Old
I found out Peter Jackson put out a World War I documentary where he combed through footage and colorized it. It turned out to be a lot more than that on the film front, where he took film that he thought was previously ruined (too dark, scratches, warped film, etc) and restored it digitally to […]
A Phenomenal Review + The Lunch Stream with Brian Niemeier
I received about the most substantive review of Flying Sparks to date last night from Elzibar. This person truly understands the importance of character to drive a story, and what I’m going for by proxy. It’s not a puff piece, he has very good critiques on the book but on the story front, you can […]
Help Save A Woman’s Life
An anthology for a cause. Author A.M. Freeman is taking over the blog today to talk to you about something far more important than I could state today, as a woman’s life is at stake. Please consider supporting. – Jon For over a decade, Bonnie Oliver has gone from doctor to doctor seeking answers to […]
