I don’t know what this guy’s got against me. I’ve never talked to him, met him, or had any interaction with him. I added him recently after he posted a fake news article about me, when he didn’t even bother to contact me for my comments on some libelous allegations that Baycon made to try […]

Getting Faded
What? At 7 o’clock in the morning on Ash Wednesday nonethethless? Weren’t you just posting about lent? Yes! But I mean something completely different. I’m talking about the new book Fade by my good friend Daniel Humphreys. I had the privilege to be able to read an advanced review copy of this book and had […]
46 Days Of Lent – Bye Bye Facebook
And thus comes the time of year in which we reflect and honor God’s sacrifice to the world when he became a man, took up the mantle of the cross for our sins, and finally overcame death itself in order to cleanse our eternal souls from sins. I watched as a couple of really wonderful […]
Over On Declan Finn’s Blog…
It’s not every day you get to take over a famous author’s blog. I’ve actually done so a few times in my coming onto the writing scene (hello to those readers who are here because of that!), and each time so far it’s come with a pretty specific “write about this” guideline. Last night, I had the […]
And The Award Goes To…
…a few books I read this last month! If you thought I was going to talk about a bunch of people in LA giving accolades to themselves, sorry not sorry. I don’t care about that. What I am doing is launching a concept in which others have done many times in the past, and […]
I Ain’t Buying Comics Anymore
To which I mean I’m completely done with single issue comic pamphlets. They make a mess, they get all over, hard to store reasonably, there’s not really much collector value long term, as I’m not going to want to revisit most of these stories in 20-30 years or whatnot. And even then, things that are […]
Do Away With The NEA
A friend of mine wrote a very well thought out, passionate response to the funding cuts for the NEA, and why we should consider keeping it. I wrote a response which I thought was worth sharing with you, my readers, and here it is: As an artist myself, I’m happy that the NEA is going […]
Great Strides
If you’ve followed me for awhile, you know that my family is very active in supporting the Cystic Fibrosis foundation. This medical charity is honestly more important to me than anything else, writing career included. We do a lot to donate and support this charity as a family. If you’re not familiar with the condition, […]
Geekchats: The Man Who Makes Amazon Bestsellers Redux
Last week, I mentioned I would have Jason Rennie, editor and publisher of Superversive Press, the http://www.superversivesf.com website, SciPhi Journal and the infamous Forbidden Thoughts anthology that propelled several authors into bestseller status on Amazon. He is the creative genius of the future, one who I’m reliable told that Dragon Award Winning Author Brian Neimeier has […]
But, Aren’t You Worried You Don’t Look Professional?
In my life, I’ve heard a lot of hoobaloo among the traditional publishing crowd about looking professional, and how imperative that is toward the respect one attains in the writing business. I remember some years ago, when a budding writer friend of mine messaged me in a flurry of panic about how she couldn’t wear […]
Oh, It’s Just The Press Being Diligent…
If you thought Big Media / Big Tech fake news was something innocuous, MSNBC had quite the slip up this morning: “He could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job.” — MSNBC contributor on the air today. It’s not about […]
