Despite repeatedly hearing from the naysayers and haters that Season 3 of Discovery would be the last, yesterday (the day DSC Season 3 premiered worldwide and the day after it launched in the US) a fourth season of the series was announced. Production begins in November. This is brilliant news and a potent message to […]
What’s happening ‘kats? How are we all doing? Washing behind the ears? Listening to the dulcet tones of Phil Collins (who is playing on the radio as I type)? As I begin to write up this latest muse, I am reflecting upon a week’s worth of activity and it’s a pretty packed week. Considering there’s […]
Sooo… we have here another regular series, designed to offer support and attention to authors, mainly of science fiction but certainly not limited to that. However, to begin with, I’ll certainly be looking at a few sci-fi stories that are, to me, worth a look. First up, are you looking for a series? Do you […]
It occurs to me that generally speaking, my posts are quite unstructured. By that, I mean, I tend to post what I want, when I want. Of course, it’s my blog, so I can do what I want, but is that necessarily fair on the readers? Would both blogger and bloggee (is that a word?) […]
So it feels like a good opportunity to speak about my book, The Awakening. It already has a five-star review (if you have bought it and read it, please leave a review, it will be greatly appreciated!), and is available in electronic form and as a paperback. It’s a tale of war, not just between […]
So, it’s now out there, published and out there, in both ebook form and paperback. The Awakening is the first book I’ve published, though I don’t plan for it to be the last. A sequel is already mostly written and undergoing additions and updates. A couple of other stories are in the works. I have […]
This isn’t the first time that the self-appointed gatekeepers of major franchises have been openly bigoted. It will not be the last. When a company gets caught up in a ideology it will destroy the company. Get Woke, Go Broke refers to the negative, destructive ideologies of Hollywood and CBS. Women run CBS and women […]
My brother has produced, in my humble opinion, a brilliant piece of artwork to serve as the cover of The Awakening. He’s created an image of Seluban that sticks to the idea of orcs, yet gives an alien take on them. Once the revised submission to the Kindle store is complete, and once the paperback […]
Today marked the end of my furloughed exile from work. I have a feeling it will take me a few days to get into the proper flow of a working week, but at least I’m back, full-time and properly. I landed a sale today and will grab more in the coming days. It certainly seems […]
So, there are plans afoot. Big plans. As some of you may know, The Warlord is going to be published – but, there will be changes. Big changes. The title, for one, and what was one long tale on here is being divided. The second part of the story is, on the basis of some […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
In recent days I have been having a ‘back and forth’ with Citizen Tom on the subject of education. Tom believes that education should be in private hands, which he believes would therefore be subject to the whim and will of parents. He does not like what state education teaches, and considers it to immoral. […]
