THE WAYPOINT TO ULTIMATE POWER!

Over a millennium in the past, humans fleeing Earth in slower-than-light vessels discovered the Waywork, an abandoned alien superhighway system that allows instantaneous travel from star to star. The problem: there are a finite number of Waypoint nodes—and the burgeoning population of humans is…

By Jon Del Arroz

OCTOBER 25, 2017  Last week, the professional review website Kirkus Reviews came under public fire after removing a positive review of…

Saturday Morning Reading Recommendations

Saturday Morning Reading Recommendations

I’m going to start off with a bit of self-promo. Nocturnal Origins, the first book in the Nocturnal Lives series, is on sale for $0.99. I’ve dropped the price in anticipation of the upcoming release of Nocturnal Challenge.

Some things can never be forgotten, no matter how hard you try.

Detective Sergeant Mackenzie Santos knows that bitter lesson all too well. The day she died changed her life and…

Friday thoughts and reading recommendations

Friday thoughts and reading recommendations

Just a quick post today. I’m doing my best to stay away from politics — my blood pressure thanks me as does the mush of what calls itself my brain. Why is it that the first few days after finishing a book are lost when it comes to accomplishing much more than getting out of bed and vegging for the rest of the day?

First Thoughts on FORBIDDEN THOUGHTS

Want a free Larry Niven e-book?

Want a free Larry Niven e-book?

Or at least a partly-Larry Niven e-book. At BookExpo America I picked up a special offer that’s good through the end of June for a free e-book from the Stellar Guild series via Phoenix Pick. These books are a unique form of collaboration in which a well-known author writes a novella in a setting, then a newer author writes another story in the setting to go with it. (I have one of the previous…

Hugo Awards 2015: Post-Mortems

Well, I voted for the Hugo Awards this year, for the first time in over forty years as a genre fiction fan. I also watched the final awards ceremony via livestream for the first time. This has been an interesting – and rather frustrating – venture, but in the process I’ve become better connected to genre fandom than ever before. I’m actually looking forward to attending some conventions for the…

Brad Torgersen, I invite you to fuck all the way off.

Brad Torgersen, I invite you to fuck all the way off.

Partial quote:

What sort of things were they saying before? No, expelling Correia or Torgersen is easy, but it’s not enough. Not enough! We have to investigate the entire science fiction field and the publishers, we need to find out how the field could have allowed an unsafe environment to thrive in which these cisnormative, sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic authors could operate with…
