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.
Chuck Dixon To Join Alt-Hero Team!
I’m frankly more excited about this than my own involvement. It’s a stretch goal that needs to be met, but Chuck Dixon has been brought in to write issues 7-9 of Alt-Hero. If you’re not familiar with comics, Chuck is one of the most prolific and most highly regarded writers in the comic industry. He […]
SJWs Ruin Board Games: FFG To Kill L5R Tradition
Legend of the Five Rings is a game I’ve played since it’s inception in 1994, in both card game and RPG fashion. It was a CCG, similar to Magic The Gathering, and for a long time it was hailed as an alternative to the game. I thought it was better. It required stronger tactics, more […]
Alt-Hero and Project Update
Getting a lot of traffic again this week from both the Marvel #ComicsGate article and the announcement made last night about Alt-Hero. First off, a cool interview on my writing background just went live here. For those new here, hi! I’m Jon Del Arroz, geek entertainment journalist and science fiction author with a healthy dose […]
Marvel Uses Stan Lee As Shield For Their Hate
This actually would have been a great example for the increased vitriol I was talking about in my last blog post, but I just saw this video Marvel released, where they had a very old and frail looking Stan Lee talk about how Marvel “always has touched on cultural issues” — a standard mantra I […]
As We Win More Bigly, Our Enemies Get More Desperate
What a couple of weeks its been! First, I want to thank my readership for their tremendous support and faith in Gravity Of The Game. I’ve only received great feedback on how wonderful of a story it is, and most of that is coming from non-baseball fans! Like always, I put a heavy focus on character and […]
Gravity Of The Game Novella – Out Now!
It’s new release Wednesday and I’m pleased to bring you this short book I’ve been working on for awhile. It’s already getting phenomenal reviews from advance readers and it’ll be a great quick read for you as well. Commissioner Hideki Ichiro is planning a field of dreams on the moon. The World Baseball League’s viewership […]
Why Did I Write A Baseball In Space Novella?
I did a little informal chat on periscope earlier about this, and chatted about my process and where my ideas come from as best as I can. And a reminder, I’ve now got it set up where I’m broadcasting replays of the periscope on YouTube. So if you don’t know how to use the Periscope […]
