Hey all. I got the Kirkus review for The Work of Restless Nights, and believe it or not there was nary a negative comment to be found! This one had me nervous, I’ll admit. The whole setup for self-published authors, any author really, is primed for inducing anxiety. You pay Kirkus a not so insubstantial …
First off, I’m a big fan of Brandon Sanderson. When I was young, so pretty much from grade school through early high school, I read incessantly. From the time I first picked up the likes of Deltora Quest, Ranger’s Apprentice, Harry Potter, Eragon, or any book with Drizzt Do’Urden in it, all the way to …
Ok, I admit. The title is a bit of a mislead as I haven’t actually watched Rebel Moon. I’d been tracking its development, watching teasers as they trickled through the grapevine to eyes and ears eager for Zack Snyder’s take on Star Wars. Netflix hoped they were eager anyway. I’m a fan of Star Wars …
I’m writing this with an hour left of 2023 and pondering what to say. Another year has passed with its highs and lows. From a science fiction and fantasy perspective, some stellar books, movies, games, and tv shows were released this past year. I managed to make a dent in my to be read pile …
I saw the Creator at the movie theatre last week. For those who haven’t seen it yet, I’ll keep away from any major spoilers. The premise is that AI development reached such a level that robots were, for a time, ubiquitous in society, perhaps as numerous as humanity. They lived alongside in an often servile …
Adaptations are on my mind. No real surprise there. We certainly have a profundity of them these days. Not that I’m complaining. I adore getting the chance to see that which was relegated to my mind’s eye given new form. In the recent past I’ve watched the new One Piece live action, the Cowboy Bebop …
Short one this time, and it hopefully won’t be the only one this month. Just here for a quick update. As the title, and my previous post, already gave away, my book is stocked at a local bookstore, that being the Tattered Cover on Colfax in Denver. It’s an incredible feeling to see it on …
Hello there. Big news, though I think my title might have given it away. No matter, I’ll say it again, my book is finally published! Paperback and ebook. Truth be told, it has been available through Amazon for about a week now. But for all those who have an entirely understandable dislike of the corporate …
I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I hadn’t read the seminal sci-fi novel Dune until recently. I’ve been told Dune is to sci-fi what Lord of the Rings is to fantasy. Given Dune‘s impact, it’s not an unfair comparison. Having written a sci-fi novel myself due to be published here in just a few weeks, …
I’ll do my best to keep this one spoiler free, as experiencing a playthrough of the 2019 sci-fi video game Outer Wilds and its DLC Echoes of the Eye without foreknowledge is a joy I wouldn’t want to deprive anyone of. But I know some are particularly concerned about such things. If so, all I …
