[asa2 tpl=”Left_Review_Block”]B01B5U60B6[/asa2]
Review of Eden’s Serum
Eden’s Serum by Angelique S. Anderson is a speculative fiction novel set in the near future. This work borders on fantasy due to some pseudo-tech that is more like magic than science. Especially in the time frame presented.
This is a fast read and I blasted through the book in two sittings. The story opens with protagonist…

Review of The Farmed
The Farmedby Lisa Caskey is a dystopian science-fantasy novel set in the late 21st century in the remnants of San Francisco. I categorize this as having a fantasy element because there is telepathy, while not being magic, it is a speculative metapower outside the realms of science and technology. This is the first book in a…

Review of Fragment
Fragment by Alvin Atwater is an epic fantasy. Though the promotions for the book don’t suggest young adult, this material, its pacing and clean nature strike me as being for a young adult audience. The topic, the interaction with mythology, and the setup all are reminiscent of Rick Riordan’s Heroes of Olympusbooks. The casting of…

[asa2 tpl=”Left_Review_Block”]B00RSWW8UI[/asa2]
Review of Chaos Bound
Chaos Boundby Adriaan and Rebecca Brae is a young adult urban fantasy (it also might be categorized as paranormal). There is a science-fiction element but even by the end that aspect is more teaser than anything else. I am calling it urban fantasy, but the magic through to the half-way point is minimal. However, there are…

Writing: Is That Plot Thickening?
As people, our lives would be pretty difficult without a spine. The spine is the core support for our bodies that carries the vital signals that tells our arms a legs what to do. The plot is to your story, as your spine is to you. Without a plot, your story will pretty much lie on the page and get nowhere fast.
When discussing plot, many people flash on how…

Show Not Tell — The Story of Slog
This is the story of Slog. Everybody knows slog, he hangs out in newspaper articles and text books, he’s like that gum stuck to your shoe and twice as sticky. He’s the nuisance that writers can’t live without but often overdose on. Slog is the narrative killer, the tension abator, that big blot in the road that wakes you up on a dark night. Slog has another…

Comics – Wake Up
Yes, I’m a breathing society-contributing adult with a 9-to-5, hobbies and other normal stuff including a fondness for comics. Okay, some of my hobbies are odd: writing, gaming, anime… nothing dangerous (except possibly to my reputation).
Okay, so what’s got me whining? Check this, I recently did a nerve wracking presentation at the Mensa AG 2016. It was my first serious…

Yes, I got into SDCC again. Every year just getting in seems to be more of an accomplishment than the one previous. Remember when you could just line up and get tickets? Yeah, ancient history. I’ve been attending since the attendance was measured in the hundreds, not thousands. I remember skipping through the old convention center singing ‘they’re coming to take me…

Writing: Viewpoint, Perspective and Time
“Time” is something that many writers don’t think about while writing. Yet it has a vital role in how characters (and readers) perceive the flow of events. It relates to the nature of language and communication, and ties directly to how human beings perceive and rationalize our environment.
People perceive events as moving in onedirection — forward.…

I recently did a presentation for a fairly large group of people (about 300). They came to see the sci-fi writer nerd guy talk about science fiction and suspension of disbelief. I did a lot of research and noodling to come up with an hour of material interspersed with popular references for humorous effect. As I was preparing for this nerve wracking public speaking event,…
