I picked this up because I saw a kickstarter that had a science fiction comic, and those are pretty rare. It looked very heavy on the SF, which I was excited about. So how did the story break down? Golgatha is the story of colonists who get sent on a mission to colonize a new […]

Review: Hugo Nominated Cirsova Magazine – Issue 6!
It’s the review everyone’s been waiting for, of the magazine completely redefining the science fiction and fantasy short fiction market. For the general market – this comes out in September, but I kickstarted Cirsova and so I received an early copy. Hopefully I was able to scoop the first review as well. These stories harken […]
Star Realms: Rescue Run For The Dragon Awards!
Well, what an honor it’s been. Today had a reader call my work some of the best science fiction out there, and Author Russell Newquist came out with his Dragon Award ballot recommendations: http://russellnewquist.com/2017/08/2017-dragon-awards-final-vote-recommendations/ Sure enough, he recommends Star Realms: Rescue Run for the Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy category. Please my readers — and my […]
Star Trek: Discovery’s PR Disaster
I’ve always been a big Star Trek fan. I’ve been known at science fiction conventions as dressing up in my screen-authentic Kirk uniform, and have watched every Star Trek series at least twice, some more than that. Naturally, the Abrams film franchise came as a bit of a disappointment to me as it was certainly […]
Film Review: Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets
This weekend I went to see Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets. I saw it was the most expensive indie movie ever made, and that Luc Besson was involved, of Fifth Element fame – which might actually be the greatest science fiction movie of all time. So I figured, why not? I got […]
#AntiFascistSFF – A Flawless Victory!
Yesterday was beautiful. We garnered so much support for tolerance and a real culture change in science fiction publishing that it shut down the people trying to stir up hate. My hands hurt a little bit from my piano performance yesterday, so I’m going to try to periscope some of these thoughts more and post […]

Watch My Hugo Award Commentary Live On The Official Transcript
https://121captions.1capapp.com/event/hugoawards# I’m on there, Jon Del Arroz. is the link. There was a youtube channel but white male old-guard establishment science fiction harassers swore at me on repeat, and then worldcon silenced and censored your humble leading HIspanic voice in Science Fiction for receiving that treatment. Not right. I expect an apology from Worldcon. […]
Are Sci-Fi Conventions Worth It?
Over on VP this morning, Vox wrote this morning about why he doesn’t attend sci-fi conventions. It was a cheeky post with basically the message of “I’d rather have fun doing ANYTHING with normal people than listening to a crowd of nerds talk about stuff like this.” I laughed. And there’s a good point to that worth […]
There’s Good News Out There – The Tide Is Turning
In my capacity as an independent journalist, I post a lot about corruption, blackballing, and hatred being spewed by large corporations and media conglomerates, especially ones that attack independent individual artists, workers or their end users for a product. There’s a perception by some (albeit very rare, and mostly among my detractors) that I’m angry […]
New Books Worth Checking Out
It’s been a crazy week, and all of this stuff below I wanted to get to individually, but given the way I’ve been relentlessly attacked by John Scalzi, and then something I haven’t publicized much in that I’ve been defamed in a writers group called The Codex Writers by some pretty big people in the […]
John Scalzi’s Dragon Awards Act Of Master Persuasion — And Why It’ll Backfire
I never expect to wake up in the morning, head onto the internet, try to make overtures of peace to a crowd and get a passive-aggressive twitter rant directed my way. But by the same token, I’m not going to be unfair to John Scalzi here. I see what went on from his perspective, and […]
