Got a blog question from David this morning asking who I consider to be the modern masters of sci-fi, a great question. Off the top of my head: John C. Wright Mark Wandrey Robert Kroese Lois McMaster Bujold Richard Fox Elizabeth Moon Jay Allan Daniel Arenson Robert Venditti (X-O Manowar and Green Lantern modern comics) […]

Is Twitter Beneficial?
I received a reader message this morning imploring that I should get back on twitter, that my 5000 or so fans on there want to interact with me and by bailing I signal to the other side that they win. It’s an interesting dilemma. I have a few problems with Twitter beyond the immediate insanity […]
Don’t Forget: Special Lunch Stream Today!
It’s going to be a ton of fun. Pick up Make Science Fiction Fun Again on Kindle and read along with us as we go through our first co-written story “Unsafe (In) Space”. And a reader sent me this fun image below: the collection is already in the top 10 new releases. The only problem […]
The Cardinal Mistake With SJWs and Robert Silverberg
Robert Silverberg, a science fiction legend who’s responsible for editing some of the greatest sci-fi anthologies and short fiction collections of all time, among having one of the biggest writing careers in sci-fi himself, had a private email list with a few friends over the summer. On the list, he made commentary about NK Jemisin’s […]

New Federalist Article: Thot Patrollin’
I lay out the details of this weekend’s #ThotAudit in the normie news: http://thefederalist.com/2018/11/28/people-sell-sex-report-earnings-irs/ Which is a friendly reminder while that it seems like a YouTube comic guy might be swarming and causing a scene… but I set actual discussion agendas for hundreds of thousands of people, not just a couple hundred comic weirdos on […]
You’ll Never Believe What Happened to SF Legend Gregory Benford At LosCon
(Thanks to Mike Glyer for helping me track down some of the info of these events) Gregory Benford thought he was just speaking on another panel, something he’d done dozens of times over the last 40 years of his career, especially after his novel Timescape won the Nebula Award and has since been hailed as […]
Unranked Chevron Review Of Flying Sparks
“Jon has a penchant for writing female protagonists in a way that’s not annoying.” “The characters feel real.” “A very good book.” For his question of where you can get one, you can do so here (but obviously not signed or with the pretty Tim Lim bunny print). The price point is going to be […]
Twitter Is A Shithole Website
It looks like I made the right decision in jumping off Twitter when I did. This weekend, the site cracked down on a number of right-leaning people, and even feminists who boldly made statements such as “men are different than women”. The platform has gone full crazy, even deactivating the account of Julian Assange — […]
Fleetwood Mac 2018 San Jose Review
Content Warning: this post contains an analysis of boomer music. Last night I was dragged to see Fleetwood Mac at SAP Center by a buddy who had an extra ticket. A very nice ticket at that, just behind the soundboard ,the perfect place for the audio experience of a show if you know much about […]
I Guess The File 770 Guys Ain’t So Bad…
These last two weeks have been hellish to say the least. I haven’t talked about a lot of stuff on the personal front, but if you’re following along on social media, you’ve seen some folk absolutely lose their minds at your favorite humble Hispanic author (me). My understanding is that my leaving twitter has only […]
