The Cobalt Fist
I’m hip deep in re-outlining my epic, seven book series I’m temporarily calling The Cobalt Fist. I’m having so much fun it’s actually eating into the time I should be spending on finishing my current WIP, Shallow Trenches/Open Skies. But, alas, The Cobalt Fist is my favorite sandbox to play in, so I’m okay with…

April Anticipation Brought May Flowers
Back at the beginning of April, I wrote a blog post titled Writing News & April Anticipation. And now that it’s May a lot of that anticipation has paid off, so I thought it was time for a follow up! Contest & Awards Laramie Awards I won’t bury the lead, and will instead jump into…

The Art of Time Travel: How Sci-Fi Has Changed
Over the few years, I’ve found myself reading more classic science fiction than usual. Recently, I read Larry Niven’s Ringworld series for and Arthur C. Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama for the first time, followed by Clarke’s Childhood’s End, a favorite of mine from adolescence. While I loved each of them, I couldn’t help but notice how much these classic…

Keeping it light this week because I’m extra busy with new projects and a regular hobby jumping into overtime. Add to that the fact that I just finished my first book of the year (yes, I know, I am way behind on my reading goal, and while I have broken my slump, it’s still been…

EdiE: Diesel-Punk PC No More, Long Live MCM Retro-Future PC
About a year ago, I shared that I was going to be building a diesel-punk PC. Life got hectic, and that project, having only just gotten started, was put on the indefinite back burner. But then my every-day PC died, and due to financial constraints, I was forced to long-term-borrow a friend’s laptop in order…

Artemis II & Science Fiction
As a life-long enthusiast of science fiction, science fact, and space exploration as a concept, I have always sort of (and perhaps naively) took it for granted that we would one day go back to the moon. It felt like an inevitability to me. Yet, now that it’s finally happening (assuming the drive towards Artemis…

Subgenre Defined: Space-Western
If there’s one constant in all my rantings and ravings about what I watch, what I read, and what I write, it is my love for a good genre mashup. And if I had to choose a favorite from among these niche subgenres, a good space-western would rank very high. (It would have, to be…

My Favorite Book Series: The Dark Tower
Last week, while discussing the books I already own that I’d like to get around to reading, I mentioned that high fantasy has never been one of my favorite genres. And while that is extremely true, it doesn’t mean I don’t like some fantasy. Case in point, my favorite book series of all time is…

5 Books I Own That I Need to Finally Read
They say buying books and reading books are different hobbies. If that’s true, then I indulge in both, and thus have a shelf full of books I fully intend to read. I even actually get around to reading some of them too. But, alas, there are still a number that haunt me, and yet I…
