I had a lot of requests for posters for For Steam And Country, since the book cover is so gorgeous. With the help of CryptoFashion, we’ve been able to make these a reality. The lighting is a bit bad but this is the production sample they just sent to me. So cool! You can get […]
SFWA: Pending Membership
If you didn’t watch my Periscope this morning, it was a lot of fun. I played a little song for my viewers (of which I’m very rusty specially at singing but I think I did ok!), and, as the title of this post suggests, I filled out my SFWA Application. I 100% qualify with the three […]
Marketing Advice: Use It Or Lose It!
I’ve made a major marketing failure. Yes, me, the Haas School Of Business UC Berkeley alumnus, the man who prides himself on utilizing marketing strategies like few in the business. If there’s one thing I understand and have experience in, it’s marketing. But I’m here to tell you about a mistake I made, a very […]

It’s Better To Be My Friend #JDAYourFriend

I’m doing great professionally, it keeps getting better on that level, it’s also going great financially, I’ve taken steps to ensure my faith in God and His plan are rock-solid more than ever before, the family’s doing great, the economy’s doing great, I’ve read and written […]

Short Story: “Taking Control: – Storyhack […]
Astounding Frontiers #6
Astounding Frontiers #6 dropped today from Superversive Press! It’s their adventure pulp magazine and got a story by me set in my same world as For Steam And Country — different kingdom though so it’s got a little different of a perspective compared to what’s going on in Rislandia. It’s very fun and lighthearted adventure with a […]
Science Fiction Publishing Is Pure Depravity
SFWA President Cat Rambo made a vile attempt to downplay Moira’s Greyland’s story of the abuse she suffered at the hands of Marion Zimmer Bradley. To someone like Rambo, MZB’s identity as a feminist and gay icon is far more important than the real human who was hurt. In her capacity at SFWA, Rambo should […]
Comic Review: Port Of Earth #1
Port Of Earth automatically made it to my excitement list when I saw the concept — aliens use water for fuel and made earth into a stopping point along their transit routes. They built a port, which is supposed to be away from human society and supposed to not have them interact with humans, in […]
What A Day For Publishing
There are two really interesting books out today. one is Moira Greyland’s memoir of the chilling abuse she suffered at the hands of Marion Zimmer Bradley and lovers, which I’ve been talking about all day on social media, including an earlier periscope, which I’ve uploaded to my YouTube channel. Second, is Sean Patrick Hazlett has […]

How To Lose A Guy In Any One Of 10 Questions
Everyday Feminism published an article on 10 Things Every Intersectional Feminist should ask on a first date… immediately, you know that if any guy was asked any one of these questions, they should high-tail it out of there before they get falsely accused of a crime. I’ll note all of the questions don’t actually have […]
