Welcome to the sixth and final installment of the Science Fiction Sub-Genre overview. This has been such a fun project, let me tell you. I don’t remember the last time I wrote a series that spanned over two months like this. Why are there so many science fiction sub-genres? Because they’re pretty different from eachContinue reading “Science Fiction Sub-Genres, part six”

It’s Banned Books Week, 2018! I love this holiday probably more than any other literary holiday of the year. More and more, censorship is an enemy that we must fight on and offline. I’m pleased to bring you a list of the top ten banned books of 2017, as collected by the ALA. Here isContinue reading “Banned Books Week, 2018”

I try to be on top of things. Most of the time, I am. I work hard, and I hope that I put out content and stories that you all enjoy. Sometimes, though, I can’t be on top of everything. Sometimes I just screw up. Most of the time I catch issues before you, myContinue reading “I kind of screwed up”

It’s another launch day! I honestly am thrilled by how often these are happening. Today, Deciding To Start launches. It’s a little scary, because It’s the closest thing to an auto biography I’ve written yet. (That book is coming, but not for a while.) Deciding To Start contains some of the best blog posts fromContinue reading “Deciding To Start launches today!”

I know we’re pretty far away from Halloween still, but I thought I’d talk about something scary anyway. It’s a fear of all writers at all stages of their career. This, my friends, is the fear of starting. Starting, no lie is scary as hell. I’m scared every time I start a new series, evenContinue reading “The fear of starting”
