This is technically a share of a share, but I saw the original post through Nick Cole’s site, so it followed that I should link to his page. The post which he shared is actually a review of Galaxy’s Edge: Galactic Outlaws, the second book in the Galaxy’s Edge series, written by Nick Cole andContinue reading “The Reformation of Star Wars”

The God Complex: Writing Genre Fiction as a Religious Jew
I make no secret of the fact that I am a religious Jew, and have been for my entire life. It’s also not something I talk about a lot on here or online, as it’s usually not relevant to writing, my main focus, and seeing as religious Jews are a tiny, tiny minority, bringing itContinue reading “The God Complex: Writing Genre Fiction as a Religious Jew”
How to Find a Cover Artist
As much as people like to say that we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, the fact of the matter is that we very much do. In many respects, the cover is the most important way to attract readers, as a great cover that conveys your book’s genre, tone, and type of story willContinue reading “How to Find a Cover Artist”
Some Brief Thoughts on Marketing, As a New Author
It’s no secret that for many, many writers, marketing and promotion is much harder than doing the actual writing (and even if the writing is hard at times, I would hope we at least enjoy doing it). I, perhaps unsurprisingly, fall into this category. I’ve never really been a “people person,” in general, and whileContinue reading “Some Brief Thoughts on Marketing, As a New Author”
So, What’s Next?
While I realize this title could refer to a number of things, including the current political situation, or the threat Islam poses to the civilized world, today I’m choosing not to talk about last night’s terror attack in Manchester, England (because there’s nothing to say that I and other intelligent people haven’t already said. No,Continue reading “So, What’s Next?”
#SpaceOperaWeek Round-Up
As #SpaceOperaWeek comes to a close, author Jon Del Arroz has compiled a nice list of some of the great pieces of content released this week, most, of course, by the #PulpRevolution, as we co-opted the tag. It’s been a great week, and I couldn’t have picked a better time to release my debut novel,Continue reading “#SpaceOperaWeek Round-Up”
#SpaceOperaWeek: Wonder and the Soul’s Desire by Dominika Lein
As many of you may have noticed, this week is #SpaceOperaWeek. Initially an initiative of Tor.com, members of the #PulpRevolution, myself included, have completely co-opted the hashtag, both to bug Tor about their subpar content and to share actual quality space opera related content of our own. One of our major issues with the articlesContinue reading “#SpaceOperaWeek: Wonder and the Soul’s Desire by Dominika Lein”
How to Write Non-Human Characters
I had the pleasure of being a guest on Brian Niemeier’s Geek Gab: On the Books podcast today, where we talked about writing non-human characters. As he states in his post, it’s an important yet under-discussed topic in the science fiction (and fantasy) world. Check out Brian’s post, which includes links to my highly viewed articleContinue reading “How to Write Non-Human Characters”
It’s #SpaceOperaWeek, but Where are the Aliens?
So, Tor.com decided that this week is Space Opera Week (#SpaceOperaWeek on Twitter), though thus far it seems that I and a few other fellow members of the #PulpRevolution have been dominating the hashtag, though that may be unsurprising, as Tor is using contributors who aren’t fans of the genre. Jon Del Arroz, author ofContinue reading “It’s #SpaceOperaWeek, but Where are the Aliens?”

Well, the day has finally arrived. I am pleased to announce the release of my debut novel, A Greater Duty. This has been a long, but rewarding process, and I hope that you will come on this journey with me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank some of the people who helped makeContinue reading “The Next Phase of the Journey: The Release of A Greater Duty”
