I am officially working on my first freelance writing job. If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been posting on the blog, or even better, posting word counts on my novel, you now know why. But who am I kidding? I’ll be lucky if more than two people even read this, let alone wonder why I haven’t been giving them much else to read. In any case,...

For those of you who followed Ing’s Deadliest Warrior posts and some of the discussions we had about it, and especially for Ing, here’s a hilarious spoof. “Inhuman!”

I finished reading Renegade’s Magic by Robin Hobb last night, and I thought I’d post a review for all y’all. Now, I’ve actually read a number of good books in the past several months, and I’ve been meaning to post some book reviews for some time now. Some of those books have been hella good reads.

My ill-fated copycat attempt led to s...

David Farland, in case you haven’t heard of him, is a very successful author of fantasy who also publishes science fic...

Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing is back in production! I’m just so happy. It’s easily my favorite podcast. Shaun Farrell is an excellent interviewer, and Sam Wynns makes a great co-host. The first episode after the big break is an interview of Greg Van Eekhout, author of Norse Code. Since I’m writing a story based in part on Norse mythology, I w...

I’ve heard some exciting news regarding the production of A Song of Ice and Fire for HBO. They are now producing a pilot episode in Ireland, which will help determine which among about 10 new shows will see the light of day. They’ve also cast some of the characters. Eddard Stark will be played by Sean Bean (Boromir in The Lord of the Rings movi...
