Sounds Good!

Can confirm. People have been asking for #audiobooks it @DeclanFinnBooks’ Saint Tommy series, and… @kevasidhe and I just had a FANTASTIC conversation with @NotJonMollison . This is gonna happen, folks! — Russell Newquist (@rnewquist) June 30, 2019 I thoroughly enjoyed reading Saint Tommy when I paid for the pleasure. ...

Powers of the Earth

New review up at Castalia House – this time we’re talking about the 2018 Prometheus Award winner, The Powers of the Earth.  It’s an almost kitchen-sink style Heinleinian adventure complete with AI’s, space dogs, soft-boiled political debates, and low-g combat galore.  Plus, it features the sort of slimy fake-news purveyors that could...

Ravage: The Adventure (Finally) Begins

Last year, in an effort to pushback against the ensqualminating of comic book industry, I made it a point to back a number of kickstarters.  One such title earned a backing based solely on the involvement of The Legend.  The seven bucks for a single issue and spicy marketing...

Cirsova – How Thaddeus Quimby the Third and I Almost Took Over the World

Bruh.  That title. There’s a recent fad going around the midwiteratti where they crown thier snoozefest Hugo bait stories with wuh-wacky long titles that are LOL so random: The Rose MacGregor Drinking and Admiration Society The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington The Tale of the...

The Actual Roger

Peter Simeti over at Alterna Comics drew this slick little portrait of my daughter in five minutes for only a couple of bucks.  Great guy. Me and my youngest have been reading through the The Actual Roger mini-series, and it’s a lot of fun.  The boy on the cover...

Cirsova – The Bookhunter’s Apprentice

Sometimes you come across a story that’s perfectly fine, but just not to your tastes.  The Bookhunter’s Apprentice is one such tale.  It’s a bit of a heist tale set up when twin sorcerers do an intelligent and evil tome of lost knowledge dirty and pay the price.  The titular...

Happy Independence Day!

Let’s celebrate Old Glory by talking about the glories of New Publishing.  We’d better enjoy this holiday while we can – there’s no telling how many more we’ve got left. Specifically, we’ve got a couple of canaries in the old media’s Woke/Broke Coalmine to talk about.  If you’ve ever...

Cirsova – Late to the Blurb Party

No that blog title is not a secret story only included on the copy of Cirsova provided to advertisers like me.  It’s just the subject of this blogpost and an admission that I’ve been doing it all wrong. Throughout the whole of Volume One of Cirsova, The Magazine of...

You’re almost out of time to catch up on an eclectic tribe of awesome! For cheap. With the LibertyCon Science Fiction Convention about to convene in Chattanooga, Tennessee, some attending authors and friends are offering a few of their most popular ebooks for only $0.99. For most books, the...

Cirsova – Born to Storm the Citadel of Mettathok

Author D.M. Ritzlin is one of the creative minds behind the Swords of Steel collection, which is billed as “written by members of such underground heavy metal bands as Manilla Road, Bal-Sagoth, Solstice, Cauldron Born, Twisted Tower Dire, and others.”  Ritzlin certainly captures that ethos with a story of...
