The Tea Party movement, as I see it, is being misrepresented both by the left and the right, and there are two seminal moments which cement this misrepresentaion in my mind. I want to put it into perspective a little bit, though. The biggest proponent of the Tea Parties has been conservative talk show host Glenn Beck. [...]
When my friend Brian first linked me to the picture he made of Jack Wilgress, I thought it was pretty cool. I shared it with the rest of my friends on Facebook, but I thought it deserved a blog post. One of the coolest things about this picture is the wording behind the character, “3:10 [...]
I don’t really like ebooks. I like to open a real book with real pages. I especially like to read from the standard page because it gives my eyes a much-needed respite from the glare of a monitor. There’s something about an object that shoots light directly into your eyes that bugs you after a [...]
I just finished The Gathering Storm, by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, and I gotta say: I have never nearly fainted from sheer awesome before. I am beginning to think Robert Jordan is perhaps the single greatest developer of characters in the history of mankind. Scratch that. The second-greatest. I think the only competition Jordan [...]
I am Team Jacob. I just wanted to get that out of the way, since that seems to be the most important social label right now. Yeah, werewolves are infinitely cooler than vampires, and maybe I’m biased because of Hugh Jackman’s Van Helsing. But that’s not why I’m Team Jacob. My wife is. And I’m with [...]
I wouldn’t have thought my first writing contract would be in Science Fiction. Let me amend that. The WARS universe has all the makings of a classic Space Opera. Sure, there is some concrete scientific theory behind the universe, throw in some quantum mechanics, yada yada yada. I never was big on the whole science [...]
No, I am not suddenly embarking in a career in the United States Armed Forces. On Monday I signed a contract with Grail Quest Books to write a Novella in the universe based on WARS, the Collectible Card Game from Decipher, Inc. I am one of three authors enlisted to work on this project, each [...]
Well, my adventure at the Parsecs ended rather ignominiously, as The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd took the prize for Best Audio Drama: Short Form at Dragon*Con. I was unable to attend the convention, which is just as well considering I didn’t win. I don’t begrudge my competitors, and will continue to put out projects [...]
It is with great pleasure that I announce that my fan audio drama, Star Wars – Codename: Starkeeper, has been accepted as a finalist in the 2009 Parsec Awards! The Parsec Awards were founded by Podcaster and Author Mur Lafferty, Podcaster and President/COO of Farpoint Media, Michael R. Mennenga, and New York Times Bestselling Author [...]
In the quest to become published authors, we writers are faced with a critical decision: what do we do with the brilliant literary treasure we have just hammered out on our blood-stained keyboards? I was asked recently if I had considered Dragon Moon Press, the fine folks who currently house authors such as Tee Morris, [...]
