It’s new release Wednesday and I’m pleased to bring you this short book I’ve been working on for awhile. It’s already getting phenomenal reviews from advance readers and it’ll be a great quick read for you as well. Commissioner Hideki Ichiro is planning a field of dreams on the moon. The World Baseball League’s viewership […]
Why Did I Write A Baseball In Space Novella?
I did a little informal chat on periscope earlier about this, and chatted about my process and where my ideas come from as best as I can. And a reminder, I’ve now got it set up where I’m broadcasting replays of the periscope on YouTube. So if you don’t know how to use the Periscope […]
Thursday Youtube: RPGs and Writing With Jeffro Johnson!
Jeffro Johnson literally wrote the book on RPGs and writing, a critical analysis that changed my life and my perspective on fiction in SF. The book is Appendix N, named after the famed appendix in the original Dungeons & Dragons, showing the influences of its creators in Sci-FI and Fantasy. It’s beautiful, and the genre […]
Still Not Tired Part 2: FREE Novella Giveaway!
Despite a concerted high school-style effort to get people to shun me by the Mean Girls club, I hit 1,500 followers of Twitter today. I like round numbers, so I’m going to celebrate by giving away a free advance copy of my forthcoming novella, Gravity Of The Game! Made it! Thank you everyone for following […]
Still Not Tired Of Winning
What a month it’s been! September saw about the largest smear campaign ever run against me since I’ve come on the scene as a science fiction writer and journalist. I’d thought it was bad in August when the Dragon Award finalists were announced, and NYT Bestselling Author John Scalzi took to twitter to make chain-tweet […]
Busy week! Another Interview!
I’ve been really burning the candle with content this week, gearing up for the release of my new novella, Gravity Of The Game — a short book imagining the game of baseball being brought to the moon. I appeared on Jeremy Maddux’s Quiet Place podcast to talk about my journalism last week and my big […]
Comic Review: X-O Manowar #7
Aric has donned the X-O armor up to the shoulders now, and is regularly wearing it, despite the fact that he spends time talking to the armor and telling it how it is simply a tool (poor good skin!). He’s uncovered in quick fashion that the plot of the general to bring in this monolith […]
The Most Offensive Periscope Ever
All this week I’ve been promising that today I would deliver my most offensive, outrageous Periscope ever. And I delivered: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1ynKOVZwvEvxR This is so over the top action that it’s banned from government institutions, schools, and polite company, and probably should be banned from the internet as well.
Bre Fauchex Interviews Me
If you missed my interview with Bre Fauchex yesterday, it’s here: It’s mostly a discussion on my article about anti-male discrimination going on in Science Fiction, and the bizarre blowback I received from daring to ask a question and do a little research. Hope you enjoy!
A’s Tickets Burned
Had some techincal difficulties where it didn’t post to Periscope live and the tickets are actually very hard to burn and didn’t provide the super exciting optic I’d hoped, but it’s done now. America First. https://www.pscp.tv/jondelarroz/1MYxNXnjZbpGw?t=25s
Letter Cancelling A’s Season Tickets – #StandForTheAnthem
With all of the athletes and entertainers out there signalling their hate for America, for the flag, utterly disrespecting and paying no care to the soldiers or police who protect us, I decided to take action. I don’t just say #DumpTheNFL, but I put my money where my mouth is, even when it’s painful for me […]
Star Trek: Discovery – It’s About Hating You
We’ve seen how their marketing campaign led, with hailing virtue signalling and making claims that weren’t true to say how ‘diverse’ they were, to being straight forward that the villainous Klingons — who in no way resemble Klingons — were simply Trump supporters in disguise. With the show getting terrible reviews from people who actually […]
Storyhack #1 Out Today – Featuring A New Short Story By Me
This has been in the works for a long time, and I’m quite excited to see Bryce Beattie’s Storyhack come to fruition. In the storied tradition of great magazines like Cirsova and Astounding Frontiers, Storyhack promotes making science fiction fun again, focusing on both genres: Action and Adventure. Their first issue features the first Weird […]
Interview With Me: Keystroke Medium
I love getting interviewed especially on Monday mornings after playing keyboards at Church all Sundays. My hands are very sore so I don’t like to type a lot on days like this, and it saves me from writing a blog post 🙂 Will be up in a few minutes.
Star Trek: Discovery Review & Thoughts
https://www.pscp.tv/w/1OdKroVDnVXGX In case you missed it across social media. I watched this train wreck so you don’t have to.
Warriors Superstar Steph Curry To Right: Don’t Watch The NBA
Yesterday, in a team meeting, Steph Curry made a flippant comment about the White House visit for the NBA Champions, stating that if it were up to him, the discussion would be short, implying he would never go to the White House. The comment is yet another in a long line of powerful entertainment virtue […]
The Limit To My Patience
I had a commenter just now look up information about my 8 year old son and start ranting about me. It’s the only comment I’ve deleted in recent memory. There is a line, you harassing my children is it. If you post stuff like that I will get your IP and I will send it […]
New Release Book: War Demons by Russell Newquist
I meant to blog about this on Wednesday but with how crazy this week has been, I didn’t quite get around to it. For those new here from the SFWA Anti-Male Writer controversy or #ComicGate, I try to make sure to keep people up date on fun fiction that’s politics-free in the market, as the […]
#ComicsGate Escalates To The Mainstream Media
We all saw the horrific actions of industry professionals looking like they were going so far as to attempt to goad Diversity & Comics into a crime, like it was some bad 80s movie, and while we can laugh at the spectacle of it, it’s a crazy scary trend for comics and all fandom. They’re […]
Comic Review: Bloodshot: Salvation #1
Bloodshot is a character from Valiant Comics who is kind of like a cross between Punisher and Wolverine. An experiment from a secret military organization, Bloodshot is infused with nanites that make him a killing machine and give him regeneration powers. This book continues with the feel of Bloodshot: Reborn, much more than the crazy/zany […]
My Policy On Reaching Out
I’ve come under so many attacks as of late it feels like it never ends. This is what happens when you expose problems in industries via journalism. I may have bitten a bit more off than I can chew by pointing out the terrible problems in Science Fiction AND in comics, but they both are […]
Breaking: SJW Comic Writers Threaten Diversity & Comics, Conspire To Instigate Violence
Things have gone nuclear. Write the comic publishers. Write the conventions. We need to protect honest reviewers from this kind of abuse. The periscope detailing it is here: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1LyGBEaBNLPKN
Star Trek: Discovery Trying Too Hard To Virtue Signal
This is going to be a disaster. Everyone sees this from everything they release. Even with their marketing efforts they are so far off the mark and insulting to fans by their attempts to make this show a pure identity politics showcase that they flat lie to journalists: How Sonequa Martin-Green became the first black […]
SFWA President Appears To Break Org Rules In Escalating Feud With Hispanic Author
It was an interesting day to say the least yesterday, as I couldn’t have anticipated SFWA President Cat Rambo threatening a lawsuit over my ask for her to appear as a guest on my youtube show. As I discussed on my periscope, my thought was to talk RPGs and writing — since we both are […]
