Yesterday, Daniel Humphreys released the second book in his popular zombie fiction series, A Place Called Hope. He stopped by the blog here to answer a few questions about the book and series: Zombies have been all over the media these last ten years with a lot of books, comics, films and tv shows. What inspired you […]

Marvel Comics Editor: All Men Are “Part Of The Problem” #ComicsGate
The implication is clear: all men are evil and abusers if only by proxy. Not to mention this is quite the marginalizing of male victims of sexual abuse. It reminds me of the way I saw a lot of posts this last year with you say “I’m not” that’s exactly what a Nazi WOULD say. […]
4chan vs. Shia Labeouf Season 7
This has been the most compelling reality show on the internet, probably of all time. I blogged about it a few months ago when the first couple of seasons of capture the flag occurred, so far with 4Chan undefeated even into this seventh season. Now the stakes are so much higher, and the flag is […]
The Book 20 Years In The Making
Last night I finished up my edits on what will be the first in what I hope will be many space opera / military SF novels set in this particular universe. It’s titled The Stars Entwined and follows an Internal Affairs investigator for humanity’s Interplanetary Navy as he navigates a powder keg of a political situation […]
The Orville’s Ratings
I’ve been talking about The Orville almost every week, reviewing each episode on my Periscope thus far (which you can follow here where I do daily broadcasts live, or I upload to Youtube later here ). It’s a fabulous show, capturing the heart and soul of Star Trek in a way I haven’t seen since Voyager. About […]
Star Trek Discovery Goes Full Toxic
As if it hadn’t already. When they started shutting down fan productions because of the show, we knew there was going to be trouble. When the producer started talk of “levels of diversity” we knew it wasn’t going to be much but a political show. They doubled down in their advertisements, stating the Klingons (who […]
Smoke And Fire
I’m not directly in the fire in CA, but I’m close enough where the smoke has made the air pretty unbreathable. Sorry for the lack of blogging, but because my kid has a lung condition and I thought it’d be best if we high-tailed it out of California for the sake of his breathing. We’re […]
The Power Of Rhetoric
One of the best parts of Vox Day’s Social Justice Warriors Always Lie book was the explanation of utilizing rhetoric vs. dialectic arguments. This is a small point, but something that flies over a lot of heads, and actually is the difference between success and failure in internet marketing and getting your point across in […]
A Second Alt-Hero Novel Is A Go!
It’s been part of the stretch goals, but I haven’t wanted to talk about it much until it was a sure thing, but I am now contracted for not one but TWO Alt-Hero novels for this cool project that keeps expanding, keeps getting better, and is fast becoming an intellectual property to be reckoned with […]
The Sci-Fi Elite’s Insulting Attempt To Erase History At NYCC
This weekend, N.K. Jemisin and Ann Leckie had a panel at New York Comic Con, one of the very few the book publishing industry can muster at these events. The topic seemed innocuous enough – “What Makes A Science Fiction Classic?” Something several friends could debate around a table, and is also something very hard […]
Praxis by Justin Knight
Last Friday, as I mentioned in my periscope earlier, we had a new science fiction novel come out by one Justin Knight, of which I had the privilege of reading an advance copy. Praxis is the story of a group of humans going to a mining colony for the first time, mostly focused on the […]
Interviewed On Geek Gab: Today At Noon Pacific!
I’ll be interviewed about the recent troubles SFWA’s leadership has given me over my journalism in science fiction publishing.
