Is this a sign of the times of the divisive legacy that Barrack Obama left us? (San Francisco) Hispanic novelist Jon Del Arroz receives threats of being “shooed out of the country” by alt-left internet trolls after writing a daring column for The Federalist about blackballing practices in the comic book industry. Obama supporter and […]
Great Business Advice For Newer Authors
Sarah Hoyt wrote a fantastic blog over on Mad Genius Club that’s worth the read: It is not the first time I heard this argument. It won’t be the last. Today, talking to a friend, discussing a definitely unfavorable contract I once signed, I got this answer “I’d sign that. If I had just one […]
Music Blog: The Lulls In Traffic
There is nothing that excites me in music more than finding out that Aaron Marsh has a new song or project out. He’s talked about The Lulls In Traffic, his side-project from his band Copeland for years, and though we’ve seen a few snippets here and there, a full release hasn’t been in the cards […]
The Last Crusade: A Lesson In Humility
I know this sounds very hypocritical on a personal blog that’s used entirely for the promotion of book sales, but please bear with me, friends. A friend texted this morning, someone far more spiritually wise than I, and it’s a very short, simple message worth repeating and remembering: Remember: the wind and the waves have […]
Chuck Dixon Unleashed!
I promised a couple of readers the full interview of Chuck Dixon from my Federalist article. It’s short, as I knew going in that I had a pretty dense article with a lot of other information, but Chuck provides some great, thorough responses: Do you have any thoughts on Marvel’s only hiring hard left writers […]
Hello Influx Of New Readers!
Those who have made themselves at home here know that every couple of weeks I post to give new readers a little “who I am” flavor. Last week had a lot of folk coming over from reddit, this week from my Federalist article. Hi! I’m Jon. I write science fiction, comics (which I’d like to […]
How To Apply For A Job In Mainstream Journalism
This has been one crazy journey, one in which I had no intention of traveling. You might say it’s like the classic hero story. Events happen that are out of young Peter Parker’s control, or in this case, my control, people started reading my blog and my work in earnest, and I learned that I […]
Tweet Of The Day
This would be super funny if it weren’t so sadly true. This is how the FAKE NEWS treats everything. Remember that there’s an agenda, a narrative, and they will lie to you and attempt to destroy the character of anyone, even the most honorable, righteous people. Even God Himself. You can never trust them. They […]

Rescue Run Gets 50!
Fifty reviews on Amazon that is. For a total of 4.5/5 stars! Wow! Most recent reviews that got the book there: “If you like fun, fast sci fi with a great crescendo this is for you!” “I never would have tried the Star Realms IP if Jon Del Arroz hadn’t written in it.” “This story is […]
In Which I Take Back My Naysaying About Jharel Cotton From Last Week’s Blog
Such is baseball. He shut out the Royals on the road today, and though the Royals this year aren’t the Royals of a couple years ago, it’s still an impressive feat. A few of the hits last week were some fluke hits, so I should not have downplayed his abilities based on his September 2016 […]
Star Realms: Rescue Run Promo Card!!!
Needless to say, I’m excited. A reader messaged me this morning and let me know that Star Realms: Rescue Run has been made into a promo card for the game,which is available on the Board Game Geek Store: https://boardgamegeekstore.com/products/star-realms-rescue-run-promo-card Very cool. I love the art with the event frame. I think that Antonis (the artist) […]
