Another lore post! I’m sure that some of you, after reading the last post, saw the references to the Lancer-class, the Marauder‘s sister class. I couldn’t leave you hanging for long! For anyone who happens upon this not already familiar with the Galaxy Ascendant series, book 1, A Greater Duty, is only $0.99 on Amazon, and books 2 &Continue reading “Galaxy Ascendant Lore: The Lancer-class Heavy Cruiser: A Versatile Powerhouse”

Galaxy Ascendant Lore: The Marauder-class Destroyer: A Narrow but Effective Tool
It’s been a little while since the last Galaxy Ascendant lore post, so I figured I ought to get back to this, even as I make great headway in the writing of book 5 in the series. Still no concept art, unfortunately, but I am working on that. Stay tuned for more, and enjoy this post! Marauder-classContinue reading “Galaxy Ascendant Lore: The Marauder-class Destroyer: A Narrow but Effective Tool”
New Release: A Shifting Alliance (Galaxy Ascendant Book 3)

2018 Retrospective, and What to Expect in 2019
2018 is over, and 2019 has begun. (Yes, I know, this is a little late, but my schedule has been busier than normal the past couple of weeks.) The past year was an awesome, and extremely productive one, so let’s go over some highlights. So, to start with, I spent the entirety of 2018 inContinue reading “2018 Retrospective, and What to Expect in 2019”
Galaxy Ascendant 3 Map Reveal
When someone thinks of maps in speculative fiction books, the mind always goes first to the fantasy genre, and the city/country/continent/world maps that go along with it. I love those maps, and my recently released epic fantasy novel, The Dragon Hand, featured one such map. However, science fiction stories can make good use of maps asContinue reading “Galaxy Ascendant 3 Map Reveal”

On Heroes, and “Flaws”
A recent post by Rawle Nyanzi on virtuous heroes and how they have been attacked and maligned by many in recent times got me thinking about both heroes, and the somewhat more broad topic of main characters. Specifically, as the title suggests, the obsession with character flaws. I remember seeing so much discussion of thisContinue reading “On Heroes, and “Flaws””
Fiction Must Be Designed to Entertain, and You Must Support Those on Your Side
A couple quick posts I want to spotlight and discuss a bit, as I have some time to actually write a blog post this week. First, is a post from back in December, by Bradford C. Walker, (yes, I’m behind on things; being in the army here in Israel does that) on something that oughtContinue reading “Fiction Must Be Designed to Entertain, and You Must Support Those on Your Side”
A Quick Update, and a Free Short Story, Starfall
Hey everyone, I hope the new year had been going great! It’s been quiet here for a while, largely due to my army service, which really doesn’t allow time for writing blog posts (I have been periscoping, however, and you can follow me over there if you’re interested!) Things are going well, overall, and I’veContinue reading “A Quick Update, and a Free Short Story, Starfall”
No, Do Not “Let the Past Die”
As those who follow me on Twitter and have watched my recent periscope know, I have a great many problems with Star Wars: The Last Jedi. That said, pretty much every criticism worth making has been voiced by others, and I unfortunately don’t have time for a full-length review; however, I had to comment on oneContinue reading “No, Do Not “Let the Past Die””
