In case you missed my posting about it last night and haven’t seen yet, I am now offering my services as an Insensitivity Reader, which is also up on the menu bar. This is to make sure you trigger as many snowflakes as possible in an attempt to generate maximum faux-outrage for your manuscript. Please look […]

Looks Like I’m Goin’ To Worldcon!
Got a nice email back from the Worldcon committee last night on setting up a table and getting some #PulpRev goodness going for WorldCon 2018. I doubt I or any of the other PulpRev folk will be invited to panels or anything like that — so the thought is, we’ll have our own and discuss […]
Observations in SF/F Authors – There’s No Debate
As much as people view me as some hyper-political figure, I rarely actually talk much about politics. I don’t spend my time talking issues or arguing about what this or that politician said on repeat on social media. Obviously in what’s gone on with my near-industry-wide blackballing at this point, I’ve had to state a couple […]
Uprising Review Interview
Uprising Review is a website dedicated to putting out short fiction, free speech (they actually take blind submissions for their fiction to make sure it’s all about the story and no risk of being blackballed as an author, which is nice) and now doing regular author interviews. I sat down to talk to them a […]
Periscope Ponderings: Why Do Sci-Fi Writers Hate Their Fans?
Why do sci-fi and comics writers hate their fans? https://t.co/EwQzu58cbo — Jon Del Arroz (@jondelarroz) August 17, 2017 I don’t have a great answer, do you?
Congratulations Gab!
It’s been really fun to watch Gab.ai, the social network for free speech, grow since its inception. Beginning when Twitter banned journalist Milo Yiannopolous, it was great to see someone taking action and standing up to the silicon valley elite, banning people from platforms for political speech — even talking about movies is apparently a […]
Comic Review: Golgatha
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 […]
