Fear(Hope)ful Summer
Perseid Prophecies Issue 7: Summer 2025 It’s the first of July, which means the summer issue of my speculative fiction magazine Perseid Prophecies is out (and a happy Canada Day for my fellow canuckleheads)!

Why I’m Publishing Gas Giant Gambit Traditionally
One of the things I dislike about the writing community is the negative discourse regarding trad vs self-publishing. We’re all writers, are we not? Of course, I can see where the soreness comes from on both sides, but I think it’s all noise, really. In my opinion, neither traditional nor self-publishing by themselves says much

Do Audiobooks Count as Reading?
I’m going to do something this week I rarely ever do–here or anywhere else on the internet for that matter–give a short, but hopefully somewhat hot take. My takes on the usual pop culture subjects tend to be lukewarm at best, but I think I have a unique perspective on this particular topic, so why

The Next 5 Books on My TBR Pile
