Sci-Fi Author Speaks Out On How I Act At Conventions
A review of my personality by Dorothy Grant, who posted on the Mad Genius Club article about me, author of the really fantastic book, Scaling The Rim. I’ve met Jon Del Arroz in the flesh, at LibertyCon. At the time, I was exhausted, in serious pain despite painkillers (they help with the knee, but not […]
Hello New Readers
It’s been a crazy couple of days with the extreme vitriol brought upon me by the elites at Worldcon. Most people, however, see that what’s been done is completely tragic and unprecedented and are rallying to my support. I literally have thousands of messages in support, far more than people who attend Worldcon in the […]
Music Is Mindset
Something I’ve wanted to post about for a bit in terms of general “successful mindset”, is about music. It’s no secret that I’m quite into bubbly pop music, especially that of the legendary Taylor Swift. I love listening to music on vinyl, which is why I would recommend you to check out these turntable guides for […]
Guest Posting Guidelines
A lot of successful authors use their platforms to promote other writers, and in 2018, I want to help with that as well. I’m going to launch guest posting this year, once a week, for authors to be able to talk about what inspires them in writing and culture, in hopes that some of my […]

What A Great Way To End 2017!

John C Wright’s Count To Infinity
I am a bit sick here but I wanted to make sure to give an adequate plug to Grand Master Of Science Fiction John C. Wright and his conclusion to his epic… i want to call it space opera but it’s so different than anything out there it’s hard to compare. This is the final […]
The Super Hype Jon Del Arroz Book Of The Year
I read a lot of great books this year. It makes it exceedingly hard for me to choose one or even do a top five like I am prone to doing. Of course, then it’d be just as easy to name one of my own books as book of the year, I mean I am […]
Prepping For Worldcon!
Alright. I’m so excited that my little group is growing by the day! Worldcon again put out info on nominating for the hugo awards. I know a couple of groups kind of have bowed out of this thing in a “we proved our point” sorta way, but real cultural change doesn’t happen overnight — or […]
