Finished two great SF books: 'Glasshouse', 'The Ghost Brigades'
So this weekend, I finally finished the reading I began on my vacation a couple of weeks ago. As is my wont, I always pack a couple of sci-fi novels for long road trips, and this time around I headed out with Glasshouse by Charles Stross, and The Ghost Brigades...

I've got everything a writer could want...except success
Just had to take one of those smell-the-roses moments in regards to my writing career. The little project I rushed about to write in a mere five days--and which preoccupied me from my blogging--was presented to my writers group last night. For some reason, they really liked it. I even...

Why are there always more books than time?
A few weeks ago, SFSignal asked all sci-fi bibliophiles to show their stacks of unread books, knowing that most speculative fiction fans have a chronic habit of buying books at a much faster rate than they can read them. I'm certainly of that ilk, even if I read and buy...

Found: Mission statement, Jedi Master
Longtime readers of this blog (oh, there you two are) will recognize that I haven't posted anything about my creative writing in a few months. That's mostly because I haven't been doing any. Crisis of confidence, really. I didn't know what kind of science fiction to ...

Take cheap shots at the Trivia Geek's fiction
So my unwitting and likely unwilling Jedi Master John Scalzi posted today that somebody had gone and made the first chapter of his military sci-fi novel The Ghost Brigades available for download--without telling him. It wasn't illegal--the book's publisher was responsible--and Scalzi certainly didn't have a problem with the idea...

Bacon taped to a cat - Why I never doubt my Jedi Master
When John Scalzi says he's going to tape bacon to his cat, by god, he's going to tape bacon to his cat. There's a reason this man is my unwitting and likely unwilling Jedi Master. And for all you crunchy-granola animal lovers out there, not to worry, Ghlaghghee pronounced fluffy...

Looking for a few good books
I'm nearing the end of my epic struggle with Iron Sunrise by Charles Stross (no fault of the book, I just haven't made time to read). Since I still have time to make out Christmas lists, I was hoping some of my regulars could post a "one...

Xbox Live brat gets busted by Google video
Once again, I'm stealing from John Scalzi, who pointed out this little gem of a Google video, wherein a 9-year-old kid curses out his mom for refusing to bring him some chocolate milk while he plays his Rainbow Six. Unfortunately for the little punk, he forgot to turn...
