Leaving The Area For The Weekend
Unfortunately, due to family health reasons, I’ll be unable to attend further Worldcon related events this weekend. I have to leave the area because of the heavy smoke and bad air quality. Health takes priority. The protest against pedophilia is still on, and will be happening from 1-4 PM tomorrow (Saturday) and there’s expected to […]
Pray For My Safety At Worldcon
Later today, I’m heading to Worldcon 76 in San Jose, the convention that made a proclamation as to my banning because I voiced safety concerns to them, and they decided to make a political statement by disregarding my safety concerns and instead attacked the victim, which has frankly led to my entire career being a […]

Official Statement On The Personal Attacks In Dynamite Entertainment’s Centipede Book
Last night I discovered that a print book of Atari’s Centipede property referenced me in multiple places by name in an effort to defame and diminish me as a comic creator and a human being. The most egregious of these statements was “Jon Del Arroz is a never was fat piece of shit who blames […]
Conservative YouTube Commentator Alleges Assault At Gencon
Jeremy Hambly has had a crazy few months in the world of Magic The Gathering.

The Best And Easiest Way To Maximize Your Indie Publishing Sales
We’ve seen how over the last year, the biggest successes seem to have come from teams of authors co-writing, as they can get their projects out slightly faster than others, and create these shared universes where the plot just keeps coming.

An Open Letter To Kevin Roche Of Worldcon
Last night I had a dream, and it’s a dream that I want to see become reality. It’s one where divisiveness, hatefulness, and petty politics can be overcome by rationality, love, treating each other like humans. I dreamt that I was at some house party where Kevin Roche, the chairman of WorldCon, was attending with […]
LibertyCon Is The Undisputed Best Convention In The World
I spent the weekend at LibertyCon in Chattanooga TN, and I’ll do my best to tell most of the story in pictures, because that’s a lot more fun, but this convention had so much going on from dawn until next dawn (they certainly don’t stop at dusk) that it was incredible. Programing had me running […]

Worldcon Protest Update: Standing Against Pedophilia In Sci-Fi
There’s been an epidemic within sci-fi over the last several decades. Walter Breen. Marion Zimmer Bradley. Samuel Delany. These and others were known to abuse children.

New Federalist Article On My Twitter Suspension

Friend Friday: Ben Wheeler On His Pulp Influences
Ben Wheeler stopped by the blog today to talk about his pulp influences in his new novel, Sheikh Of Mars. This is a unique piece of literature, unpretentious and very awesome.

Over the weekend, WisCon held its 42nd annual conference, They are a conference known for causing trouble for individuals and generating group hate outrage, with several past incidents, including the targeted doxing of an author who disagreed with them politically, as well as the target and destruction of an editor’s career because he made an […]
Announcement: Rally For Freedom And Anti-Discrimination Demonstration At Worldcon 76 San Jose
Civil rights activist Erin Sith, trans for Trump, and I talked about this briefly on our livestream last Thursday.

Con Carolinas Set A Dangerous Precedent For Sci-Fi Cons To Advocate Fascism
When Con Carolinas removed John Ringo from their convention, effectively banning him because a small internet outrage mob attempted to harass him out of a convention, they did more than just attack a single author. They set a precedent for other conventions to start pushing their “code of conduct” policies to a point where they […]
