The last several months have seen a flurry of discrimination by conventions. Worldcon shamefully and unprecedentedly banned me over my being a political figure, Readercon removed guests over their age, and now ECCC is giving preferential treatment to people based on sexuality, gender and race. Their programming says it all: You’ll immediately note what’s missing […]

Book Blast: Levon’s War by Chuck Dixon
Anyone who follows me knows that Chuck Dixon is one of my favorite comic writers. If comics had a Grand Master status, he would definitely have earned it. In fact, I’ll confer him the title Grand Master of Comics right now. But I discovered he also wrote prose fiction early last year, when I saw […]
Quick Shot Comic Reviews: March 1 Edition
My pull list was fairly small this week, so I only have 3 books to review: Ninja-K vs. The Valiant Universe #2 This is an underrated little title. I’m not sure it takes place within the general Valiant continuity, as I believe this was originally meant for a tie in for a live action web […]

ReaderCon’s Age and Race Discrimination
I was shocked to learn that the convention Readercon was removing people as what appears due to “age” to try to bring in a hipper, younger demographic for both panelists and audience. Pro-tip #1 to conventions: if you want a younger demographic, you’re going to have to change the formatting and focus more on commerce […]

First Major Goal Achieved In Getting Worldcon To Respect My Civil Rights
https://www.gofundme.com/make-worldcon-great-again I first announced my GoFundMe publicly on Tuesday, only a few people knew about it prior to that. The day before, Monday it leaked to the hate-website File 770, where people I didn’t know mocked and derided me, treating me as if I weren’t even a human being. They’ve been doing this, encouraging science […]
The Pile On Begins
It’s been a couple of days since my GoFundMe for getting justice for the defamation and discrimination Worldcon enacted upon me was announced. We’ve raised nearly a thousand dollars now — which is enough for the initial filing fees so we can proceed. This is with no media help and is only due to friends […]
Worldcon Legal Demand Letter – Full Text
Below is the full text of the letter my attorney sent to Worldcon, which includes the legal statutes they appear to be violating in their discriminatory and defamatory treatment of me. This kind of behavior needs to stop so writers and artists in the science fiction industry can speak their beliefs without fear of prejudice […]

Civil Rights: Worldcon Must Bake My Cake
https://www.gofundme.com/make-worldcon-great-again Friends, A month ago, the World Science Fiction Convention made an unprecedented move in pre-banning me from the convention–something they haven’t done since 1964, which they only did then with a known and later convicted child molester, Walter Breen, and with him, only for one day, not for the whole convention. To be treated […]
Retro Review: Conan The Barbarian by Robert E. Howard
I was perusing Half Price Books about a week ago and saw a stack of a 2010 edition of Conan The Barbarian by Seven Oaks Press, taking a collection of Robert E. Howard’s classics.This is not the complete works volume which I’ve seen since researching — and if you’re looking for more complete, I suggest […]
