Politics to Further Story vs. Story to Further Politics. Difference?

by Unknown's avatar

Hi Jim, I’ve read through your blog and have followed some of your work. I wanted to ask though… in numerous posts, you talk about politics and social commentary being used in pretty much every outlet and how it’s destroying escapism. I recently read one of your books, Magnifica: The Last Enchanter. Throughout it, your protagonists deal with being in a mixed relationship at … Read More Politics to Further Story vs. Story to Further Politics. Difference?

Rose Tico: A Strong Female Protagonist?

by Unknown's avatar

This is something I’ve gone back and forth about publishing for a while… given everything that’s been going on between the creators of the new Star Wars series and the fandom. This is a fight no one wins, so I don’t get involved. That being said, there is a lot of buzz around Kelly Marie Tran and her character, Rose Tico. First of all, … Read More Rose Tico: A Strong Female Protagonist?

Metal, Always!

by Unknown's avatar

Hi Jim, I’ve been following you for a while. I’ve always found your musical posts intriguing. It’s always been interesting to see where someone get’s their inspiration from. I was just wondering though… why metal? Most of what you post is metal and you make no secret of that. I’m not judging, but as a non-metal head, when I listen to some of your … Read More Metal, Always!

From My Writing Playlist

by Unknown's avatar

I have a friend who’s huge into Amorphis… They’re good, but I wouldn’t say they’re anything fantastic. That being said, I do love this song. When to Listen: This is really a building song. Use this when creating your world, characters, or even creating plot. There’s a lot of different emotions, different levels of notation, and a good mix of both positive and negative energy. … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Drakin: The Orphans of Haven Update

by Unknown's avatar

    So I wanted to give a quick update. Our cover design has been laid out and we’re going to get to work on it soon. We still have not started the legal yet as I prefer to get one issue accomplished at a time. We’re editing the cover blurb, but here’s where we are so far… “The nightmares never end for Radley … Read More Drakin: The Orphans of Haven Update

My Initial Thoughts on Detroit Become Human

by Unknown's avatar

Anyone who’s followed me for the last few months knows that I was anxiously awaiting this game. My wife and I demoed it at PAX East, and we were excited to finally get our hands on a copy. So where did this all start for me? Well… actually when I was following what was going on with hilariously comical #FreedomForTay movement, someone posted this … Read More My Initial Thoughts on Detroit Become Human

Fox Cancels Lucifer, Please Help! #SaveLucifer

by Unknown's avatar

I don’t usually do this, but I’m asking my followers, readers, and fans for help! Hopefully, by now many of you have seen my review of Lucifer, and have checked out the show. I’ve been hooked since the first Episode and I anxiously await its return every year.

From My Writing Playlist

by Unknown's avatar

Perhaps a little disclosure is in order. I am not a huge fan of these guys… mostly because YouTube continuously recommends their music and their good songs are too few and too far in between. That said, this one is pretty good. It sneaked onto my playlist and has been there ever since. When to Listen:  Conflict development. When you’re trying to come up … Read More From My Writing Playlist

A Little About Cover Blurbs.

by Unknown's avatar

Hi Jim, I’m getting really frustrated with my writing. I’m trying to write a cover blurb for a book I just finished. I have used several others as examples and templates of what to do and what not to do. However, every time I think I’ve got it down, I go back and rewrite the whole thing because it doesn’t convey what I want … Read More A Little About Cover Blurbs.
