Newsletter subscribers saw this a while ago. Now it’s the rest your turn to take a gander at the cover for my next novel. What if the nineties lasted forever? One man’s search for meaning in the high-contrast heart of a day-glo city goes awry when his client’s wife...

The early reviews of  Overlook are in, and they are 100% positive: There’s at least one car chase so awesome, it needs a Hans Zimmer soundtrack. Joe has spent his life being forgotten. Not even the IRS comes for his back taxes. He’s a ghost, a perfectly average, perfectly forgettable...

With thanks to the humble and brilliant king of the airwaves, AetherCzar, allow me to recommend a host of great reads for your digital shopping carts.  There are a lot of works on this list that have been moved from my “sooner or later” pile into my “bought and...

My first professional works were modern day action tales of a long ranger roaming the world and righting the sorts of wrongs that don’t often get righted in our fallen world.  A couple of these stories wound up gracing the pages of StoryHack Magazine and Milhaven’s Tales of Suspense....

A death match that pits the bitter wisdom of the Big Bear’s X-Brigade against the energetic cunning of Nick the Knife’s Zoomies is just what the Boomers ordered for dessert. Those trying to force a direct confrontation between the two groups are fools and troublemaking drama queens who should...

That Thomas Plutarch, what a prodigiously productive writer! The latest in the shared-universe series, Heroes Unleashed dropped into the market this week, and it’s a little bit different from the previous fare.  Morgon Newquist’s Heroes Fall and Kai Wai Cheah’s Hollow City took a more traditional and fast paced approach...

Do you like the Rocky refence in the title?  Sorry, it’s got nothing to do with today’s naked shilling for the fourth issue of StoryHack Magazine. If you think you know what happened last night at O’Reilly’s, you don’t know the half of it. This issue features the third...

Did you ever notice how most dystopian fiction feels so fake?  That’s probably because in the last final analysis we know what happens. Spoiler alert: Good wins. Somebody should really tell James Cameron that. Science fiction has dealt with the subject of the dark future almost from the very...
