That’s right! Today, I launched the indiegogo campaign for Galaxy Ascendant 3: A Shifting Alliance. Despite efforts to avoid further conflict, the Galaxy is at war again. The Galactic Alliance, made up of both old allies and recent enemies, now face down the large and oppressive Revittan Empire, a very different enemy than they haveContinue reading “Galaxy Ascendant 3 Indiegogo Launch!”

Star Wars is Dead: Long Live the Galaxy Ascendant!
I don’t recall where I first heard the statement that in Hollywood, people fail upward, but it’s especially appropriate given the recent news that Kathleen Kennedy’s contract with Lucasfilm has been extended by three years—despite the sorry state of what was formerly one of the most powerful, sure-fire franchises in existence. Under her tenure, TheContinue reading “Star Wars is Dead: Long Live the Galaxy Ascendant!”
The White Male Initiative
It’s been a while, once again, but I intend to, again, try and be more regular on here, even if that means shorter posts. It’s no secret that white men have fast become possibly the only group of people that is ok to be attacked and discriminated against. Setting aside all of the programs, initiatives,Continue reading “The White Male Initiative”
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””
The Problems with #FearlessWomen, and why #FearlessMen Needs to Exist as Well
Back to the blog, for a bit at least, thanks to my first official week off (most of a week, anyway) since beginning my army service. The time in between finishing my Hebrew course and moving to my current base doesn’t count as vacation. 😉 And, as luck would have it, Tor.com again gave meContinue reading “The Problems with #FearlessWomen, and why #FearlessMen Needs to Exist as Well”
WorldCon Must Bake the Cake
It’s been a little while, and even my periscoping schedule has fallen off a bit as things in the army have gotten busier. However, this is worth making note of. Those who’ve watched my periscopes or who follow me on Twitter will likely know at least something about the struggle between an author friend ofContinue reading “WorldCon Must Bake the Cake”
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””
Women in Star Wars: Tor.com Misses the Mark–Again
I’ve been fairly open about the numerous issues I’ve had with modern Star Wars. While I will continue to give The Force Awakens the benefit of the doubt (for overall quality) until I see where The Last Jedi takes the series, I cannot ignore the major problems that have become more and more visible, especially in Rogue One. The twoContinue reading “Women in Star Wars: Tor.com Misses the Mark–Again”
