I’m noting a trend in events, where if you go across the nets, tv, or whatnot that the mainstream fake news seems to avoid any sort of confrontational commentary to their narrative.

The “Trolling” Accusation
I find this topic fascinating. Over the last year or so, I’ve noticed more and more that when someone comes and defends an attack on one’s group from a post, that more often than not, there’s an attempt made to signal to folk “don’t listen to this person!” by an accusation that the person is […]
The Chopping Block
With this title, one might think this will be a post about editing, cutting out spots in a book, or “killing your baby” as it’s often termed in the industry. But I’m going to take a different route with this as food for thought for indie authors.
Living Freely!
I’m happy to announce our next Geekchats, which i teased at the end of last week with one of my favorite game designers (and people!) Mr. Damon Stone. This week we will discuss Living Freely, and what freedom means with author and columist James Poulos. James wrote the acclaimed book, The Art of Being Free: […]
Cold Shadows RPG
I love RPGs! I won’t lie, what got me into this whole writing game was playing Star Trek RPGs on message boards in the mid-90s. From time to time, I hop onto one of those games anonymously for a little bit of fun until I get busy writing a book and can spend only so […]
Science Fiction Should Be Fun!
A few quotes from around the web this last day or so made me think about why I love Science Fiction and what makes it interesting. As a kid, what made me gravitate toward Sci-Fi was the unknown, staring up into the stars and wondering what’s out there so far away. This led me to […]
Trading In Danger Ch13
“Age and experience are independent variables.” Got a little bit behind by missing Friday due to work commitments, but still going through the book! I love the quote above, as that is supreme life advice against judging a book by its cover.
Interview with Cirsova Magazine Editor P. Alexander
Cirsova Magazine is a short science fiction and fantasy magazine that I discovered recently through mutual acquaintances. I’m not involved in the magazine, haven’t contributed any stories and nor have any friends who have, so my interest in this is purely out of passion for the kinds of stories they are telling with this magazine. […]
Trading In Danger Ch12
“This is outrageous! This is nothing but a cargo hold! It’s not even warm!” This chapter gets into a bit of the procedural aspects of the merc-given mission to Ky and her crew that they will be taking on 50 new passengers, straining their environmental and capacity capabilities. While I believe it will escalate […]
Trading in Danger Ch11
“What I have to propose now affects us both.” I continue with my read through and analysis of Elizabeth Moon’s Trading In Danger. This chapter is quite the roller coaster. High emotion, high conflict, and a big twist to the plot. I can’t speak for certain, but a little bit past the halfway point, this […]
Trading in Danger Ch10
Some idiot — possibly their employers and possibly someone else — had blown both ansibles in this system, and ISC would be crawling all over this place sometime soon. Nobody wanted trouble with ISC. Much apologies for the delay in this read through of Elizabeth Moon’s wonderful work. I’d written 4,000+ words of blog post […]
