Robert Kroese has run eight successful kickstarters for his books — something very few authors can say they’ve done. It’s hard enough to get kickstarters funded, especially in the novel writing field. Robert and I will talk the strategies and secrets he uses, along with his current Saga of the Iron Dragon project, and probably […]

The Last Crusade: Should You “Turn The Other Cheek”?
Churchians, non-believers and atheists love to use out of context and misapplied Bible verses to tell Christians how they should Christian better. It’s a pastime for these people to get a little smug smirk and act like they understand the teachings of Jesus Christ better than you, when they don’t acknowledge him as Lord and […]
Marvel Starting To Get The Picture
In a little more than a week after Bleeding Cool went FAKE NEWS on me and wrote a hit piece on an indie author in defense of a giant evil megacorporation, ignoring my legitimate concerns about current editorial having destroyed the Marvel Comics brand by not allowing any normal people to actually write their stories, […]
Discovering The Valiant: Bloodshot vol. 1 Review
Bloodshot vol. 1 And here I thought Harbinger was dark. This is probably the darkest Valiant comic I’ve read. What a concept. Bloodshot is a military weapon of a man filled with nanobots that repair him and give him superpowers. He gets beat to a pulp more than Wolverine. The military or secret ops or […]
Book Blast: The I’m Busy Writing Like A Mad Man Edition
Reviewing my new chapters of my forthcoming steampunk novel, For Steam And Country before getting it back to my editor for his work. Then I’ve outlined a new short piece for an anthology that I submitted to, then I wrote a 2,000 word outline for a potential comic series I’d like to develop, and then […]
Last Day To Vote Star Realms For Alliance Award!
This is the last day to vote and I know many of you have already (thank you!). If you have, share this post. Put in Star Realms: Rescue Run by Jon Del Arroz and let’s get this awesome vote nominated. http://realmmakers.net/awards/the-alliance-award/ It does say confirm purchase on there, but there is no purchase required, just […]
If You Ever Remotely Thought FAKE NEWS Wasn’t A Conspiracy…
A simple duckduckgo search reveals something pretty ridiculous. All of these news agencies — or we should start calling them what they are, blogs — with the same headline, same content, which is about the most pointless content that anyone ever could invent (they literally have that much nothing on this guy that this is their […]
Why Would Anyone Pay For FAKE NEWS?
The answer is: less and less people will. 50% off their price is pretty desperate. But, desperate times when your Times can only get 28 retweets. I’m not a king of Twitter by any means, took me a long time to figure out what it was and how to use it, but I had a […]
Signing @ Colossus Con – Saturday, April 8th in Pleasanton, CA
I’ll be setting up a table signing copies of Star Realms: Rescue Run for anyone who wants to come by (will have copies available for sale, as well as some of the last of the stock of the graphic novel of my former web-comic, Flying Sparks, which features art by Dynamite Artist Jethro Morales of […]
The Last Crusade: Christian Artists Who Don’t Suck
Whenever I talk about artist blackballing in the entertainment industry, almost invariably the first argument I come across is “well there aren’t any…” or “there are a low percentage of…” leading to believe that it’s just too hard to find good artists who aren’t insane and/or profess to be Christian. That is a lie that […]
Discovering the Valiant: X-O Manowar (2012) Vol. 2 and 3
Reviewing these together but as one post. Great comic. I think the #PulpRevolution should pick up volumes 1-3 of this immediately as a primer of “how it should be done.” X-O Manowar (2012) Vol. 2 This picks up right where the first volume left off, with a potential alien invasion from the Vine looming, their […]
Discovering The Valiant: Shadowman Vol. 2-3
Last night I followed up on my reading of Shadowman Vol 1 with a volume 2 and 3 read. Though I’m going to condense into one post, though will review separately. Shadowman Volume 2 consists of issues #5-9 which continue the plotline of Darque trying to get back to the regular world. He’s hooked up […]
