That’s What I’m Talking About
Kevyn Winkless has been establishing himself as one of my favorite G+ denizens lately. His blog deserves to be in any writer’s feed as it is always though provoking and informative. Even better, he drops idle thoughts in G+ that leave me feeling like Watson watching the whole mystery...
Grown Up Book Report: Starship Grifters
Most of what you’ll find reviewed here at Seagull Rising are works that really blow my skirt up or that really grind my gears. Starship Grifters, by Rob Kroese, is neither. Instead, it’s a very funny book with, that is really well written, and just isn’t for me. The...
Cultural Processes and the Pulp Revolution
Recently, the Russian Orthodox Church’s Patriarch Kirill spoke out in support of the Pulp Revolution, the Superversive Movement, and the various stripes of Puppies. Not in so many words, but his heart is with us. Naturally, in their interview, Russia Today didn’t explicitly ask the Patriarch what he thought of...
Writing Circle Jerks
Most people in most writing circles are jerks. Allow me to demonstrate: This crossed my Twitter transom, and it took a Herculean effort and some serious teeth gritting to let it slide on down out of the bottom of my feed without a direct response. So much of...
Quick Hits: Woke Kids
This is going to sound like one of those fake “my woke eight year old asked me,” things that has littered the twit box of late. It’s really not. I take full credit for raising my daughter right. My twelve year old daughter has my genes and she has my...

This isn’t something that I set out to do. One of the sellers at a recent Toy Fair had cheap copies of old Conan comics available, so I took a flyer and picked up a series of five of them. I’ve been on a Howard kick lately, and have...
It’s Not Just You
Pictured above: Not me and my brother. This past week I sent an email out to my closest friends and family announcing my entry into the world of self-publishing. This represents my ‘coming out of the pulp closet’ to people in meat-space. This doesn’t include the meat-sticks that sleep...
Cirsova, The Cover Art
Four covers by Jabari Weather As warned previously, the covers of Cirsova magazine are worth a look. We’re going to punt on the special edition cover featuring a pair of GamerGate heroes in a classic Frazetta pose. That was a nice nod to the troops on the front lines...
People Are Talking
The first independent review of my writing was recently published at the Castalia House blog, and glowing isn’t too hyperbolic of a word for it. It’s got likable characters that read as if they are actual human beings. It’s got protagonists that could maybe stand to see things a...
New Schedule
Source Between writing my own little novellas, keeping up with posting on three blogs (that I’ll admit to), and now working on recording a pair of new books for Castalia House, the cup that holds my free time workload truly doth runneth over. Something’s gotta give, and it’s going to be...
