Space Force: Old And Busted Legacy SF vs. New Hotness Indie SF
Sci-fi is about sense of wonder. It’s about exploration. It’s about seeking the unknown to better humanity.

This is a group of people ridden by mental disorders who have […]
NK Jemisin Libels me, calling me a Nazi
This is extremely shocking and defamatory. First off, I’ve never spoken with Jemisin in my life. I found out I was insta-blocked by her awhile back just because she uses auto blockers against other science fiction authors’ followers. I’ve submitted this case to Twitter Support, as I was suspended for saying “transgender is a mental […]

Creative Energy Is In The Air
It’s been all over for the last month or so, and it’s reaching a peak right now. Think of what Kanye West has been doing, putting out 5 albums all within the span of a month. That’s a crazy amount of creativity and work. You might think, “I can’t possibly work that hard on creative […]
