Those of you who know me well or follow my writings through Doomtown: Reloaded know I’m quite a bit of a gamer and gambler, specially with https://www.slotsbaby.com I don’t really do video games, partially because I stare at a screen enough for day job and writing, partially because I have pretty bad tendinitis in my wrists/elbows […]
Blog Neglect Correction!
Well I haven’t posted here in forrrrrever. Sorry about that, folk! Things over on my side have been rather busy. I have at least 4-5 new Doomtown: Reloaded fictions out that rather than link individually, can be easily found here as they’ve been compiled by an awesome fan: https://doomtownarchives.wordpress.com/ It is missing the “Dirty Deeds” set […]
Writing Through Tendonitis
Anyone who knows me well knows I have terrible tendinitis in my wrists. I type a lot for the day job, and on top of that my favorite hobbies are: playing piano, playing guitar and writing — of which I type about 120 words per minute or so, which is probably in no small part […]
Doomtown Frontier Justice Set Review
Doomtown: Reloaded Frontier Justice – The Definitive Set Review! At least definitive to me. I go by card by card assigning a grade to each card in the set. Did this for the first two and people have contacted me saying they missed it, so here we go. I usually like to post these up […]
That’s Entertainment!
Okay, so I stole the title of this blog from my good buddy, Robert Neilson’s short story collection, which I’d super link right here to promote but I seem to be unable to find it online. He stole it, likely, from the song from The Band Wagon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik8igCUb2i8 Ahh… Fred Astaire. The good ol days […]
Some Trips To Gomorra and a Semi-Announcement Wow! A lot has gone on these last couple months. Been plugging away at the Doomtown: Reloaded stories, which you’ve seen if you follow my facebook feed at all. If not, here’s a bunch of them for you to catch up on with some brief commentary which you […]
Doomtown: Reloaded – Wrting in the Weird, Weird West!
Well I’ve certainly been remiss in updating my blog for a long time. I’m still writing quite a bit, more than ever truth be told. Around November last year my first fiction piece came out for the card game Doomtown: Reloaded. For those that don’t know, Doomtown is an expandable card game where you build […]
Shake It Off, Shake it Off — A Follow Up Conversation About Bullying
Something amazing happened this last week. Something so rare that it’s sent waves across the internet because of pure awesomeness and generosity. What’s that? Is it an empowering message via Taylor Swift about pointless criticism? Even better! Stephenie Meyer is using her clout as one of the most successful writers of this century and as […]
A Time To Die!
Does this post mean it’s time to kill my blog? No! This is a review of a new book by debut author Nadine Brandes. A Dystopian book with a Christian outlook. What would you do if you knew you only had one more day? (Points for anyone who gets the reference) Anyway, I’m reviewing a […]
End Of Summer Update
Hello friends and readers! Answer: not updating my blog, certainly. I had a weird period over June/July where I kept getting sick repeatedly and it sapped my energy pretty bad. My goal for the summer was to write a hard science-fiction novella for the Panverse novella series edited by the glorious Dario Ciriello (who you […]
Haters Gonna Hate: Ending Exclusivity In Fandom
I attended a science fiction convention earlier this year, and as I’ve invariably seen at various cons around the country, a panel went off-topic to make snide remarks about the novel Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer. Ever since wildly successful movies were made of her books, those involved in the science fiction community at large, professional […]
