This cover art is absolutely breathtaking. Brrrr it looks cold though! I hope thatknight has insulation under his plate mail armor! I’m so excited to be a part of Cherie Reich’s cover reveal for her amazing Men of Foxwick short story collection. I read the first in this series called Women of Foxwick last year … Read more
I read about this HERE in an article by Tona Kunz. Science, you so crazy. Transparent aluminum sounded cool when I was a kid. Whoknew the stuff was actually real? After reading the article posted as a news releaseon Argonne’s site, I think I just crapped my pants. And for those of you too young … Read more
When Steve Jobs left us almost two years ago, comedians joked that he was from outer space because he gave us something so amazing, it’s been described as magical. And “magical” isn’t just a word I pulled out of thin air. It’s from a quote I’m borrowing that originated with the NPR Podcast called This … Read more

Heblogs at “The Blutonian Death Egg.” I’m friends with Patrick who blogs over at his website: P.T. DILLOWAY. He’s a man of unflinching honesty. He never sugar coats anything, … Read more

Maybe it’s becausemy mind fills in all the possibilities for adventure that lurks in places.Or maybe it just has to do with the fact that I played too muchDungeons and Dragons growing up. Stout defenders of Terry Brooks will probably disagree with me when I … Read more

Prior to his death, Carl Sagan claimed that science and science-fiction kind of do this dance with one another. Jules Verne invented an atomic submarine way before one existed. Michael Crichton took genetic engineering and gave us dinosaurs. William Gibson saw what was happening in the eighties and coined a term, “cyberspace”. You may have … Read more
I think that I was both grossed out and intrigued by Sunday’s episode of “Falling Skies” (Season 2 Episode 7). To explain, my own novel SLIPSTREAM has spiders in it. However, nothing quite as graphic as this (but in the same vein–my spiders drill holes in people’s heads): Poor Jamil became a spider bag. He … Read more
