The entire concept of civil rights is that they apply to groups of people you might be uncomfortable with over their identity. It’s a civil right because it’s a right that is due every human. “This doesn’t apply to x group” goes against the very essence of what civil rights really are. In an effort […]

Retro Review: A Circus Of Hells by Poul Anderson
A couple of weeks ago I reviewed Ensign Flandry, the first of the character of Dominic Flandry, and I was so impressed with the space opera that I found myself eagerly awaiting the second book. Been actually rereleased these books as 3-book omnibuses in a seven volume set a few years back, so I was […]
I Watched The Premiere of Roseanne, And Here’s What I Thought
Usually I stick to geek culture topics on the blog, as that’s what my readers through views have told me they care about, but, nothing in the last 24 hours has quite captured the general entertainment news media like Roseanne. The relaunch of the show garnered a 5.2 share of the 18-49 demographic, which Deadline […]
Why Disney Can’t Make A Good Star Wars Film To Save Their Soul

Many people on Twitter were offended by the tweet, and Erik Larsen joined […]

Now we’re about one week into The Stars Entwined‘s launch, which has gone really fantastic. Though I didn’t have […]

Writing Q & A: Should You Build A Platform First?
Got a pretty detailed question on the blog yesterday, so I figured I’d answer with a full post rather than a comment. Here it is: I have a question: When you wrote your first book did you write it and then search for an agent or publisher, or did you already have these things ready […]
