(Thanks to Mike Glyer for helping me track down some of the info of these events) Gregory Benford thought he was just speaking on another panel, something he’d done dozens of times over the last 40 years of his career, especially after his novel Timescape won the Nebula Award and has since been hailed as […]
The
Unranked Chevron Review Of Flying Sparks
“Jon has a penchant for writing female protagonists in a way that’s not annoying.” “The characters feel real.” “A very good book.” For his question of where you can get one, you can do so here (but obviously not signed or with the pretty Tim Lim bunny print). The price point is going to be […]
Twitter Is A Shithole Website
It looks like I made the right decision in jumping off Twitter when I did. This weekend, the site cracked down on a number of right-leaning people, and even feminists who boldly made statements such as “men are different than women”. The platform has gone full crazy, even deactivating the account of Julian Assange — […]
Fleetwood Mac 2018 San Jose Review
Content Warning: this post contains an analysis of boomer music. Last night I was dragged to see Fleetwood Mac at SAP Center by a buddy who had an extra ticket. A very nice ticket at that, just behind the soundboard ,the perfect place for the audio experience of a show if you know much about […]
I Guess The File 770 Guys Ain’t So Bad…
These last two weeks have been hellish to say the least. I haven’t talked about a lot of stuff on the personal front, but if you’re following along on social media, you’ve seen some folk absolutely lose their minds at your favorite humble Hispanic author (me). My understanding is that my leaving twitter has only […]

John C. Wright’s IndieGoGo
I don’t usually dedicate full blogs to indiegogo projects, but John C. Wright is in a different class. He’s one of the greatest sci-fi writers alive, and it’s cool to see this project coming to fruition. I discussed this series over the summer with his wife Jagi and it’s very exciting stuff coming from the […]
Spiritual Warfare
It’s very easy when looking at physical events to ignore the metaphysical. We have very limited capacity to detect the spiritual realm, after all, but when patterns appear it becomes evident there’s forces at work that are beyond what we can simply observe with our eyes. These last two weeks, evil has been on the […]

For now, if you want something to read, sign up to Patreon. It’s available at the $3 short story tier. I give great value […]
A Failed Movement In Three Acts
It was interesting to see how comicsgate came and went, and how fast it went from something that was growing with momentum and then how fast it just went into contract mode. It was a leadership issue at its heart, as how leaders go so goes the movement. It’s easy to break down into its […]
Whoops!
I actually FORGOT to blog this morning. I’ve been getting packages out for my Flying sparks campaign. I got about 50% of the domestic trade paperbacks out yesterday and have got all the shipping ready to get the other 50% out today… then onto my far-too-long international list which is going to be a lot […]
