In case you missed it, Shell and I were on Geek Gab this Saturday to talk about weird and disappointing video games, our successful Kickstarter, and our future plans for the Ascension Epoch (hint: new novels and RPG books coming soon!). Also, Bradford C. Walker, author of the Star Knight Saga (check it out here), […]

Open Source Fiction panel at Sci-Fi Valley Con
As promised, here’s the link to our presentation on Open Source Fiction, presented Friday, June 10th, at Sci-Fi Valley Con in Altoona, PA.

After you’re done reading the […]
Unglue.It
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Eric Hellman, the man behind a very interesting and noble effort in freeing creative expression from the bounds of copyright. His project, Unglue.It, is a website where authors can post “unglued” ebooks–that is, ebooks that have been released under Creative Commons licenses. Just as important, it’s a […]
You can’t possibly live long enough…
There’s nothing like a brush with death to give you fresh perspective! I received this pearl of wisdom after gorging at the local Chinese buffet a few weeks ago. Rarely does a fortune cookie attain a profound personal meaning, but this one hit me right in the gut, so to speak. No, I didn’t think […]
