It’s official, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will play the titular role of Doc Savage on the big screen.  Apparently, it’s been official for a while now, and I’m late to the party.  My guess is that the news washed over me because I have so little faith in Hollywood. ...

With only a month left in the hunting season, a young man faces the final days of his rite-of-passage.  Rome always dreamed of being a hunter for the village.  The hunters are daring men who get to explore the world beyond the small mountain valley that shelters the village,...

Bryce Beattie recently put out the first issue of his action/adventure magazine as a proof-of-concept.  As a contributing author, for me to write a review of the magazine would be a bad idea.   But I’m going to do it anyway! First, thought – don’t take my word for it...

Issue 5 of Cirsova represents a return to form after an average outing with Issue 4.  While Issue 4 included a few gems, it also suffered from the inclusion of far more stinkers.  Frankly, the double issue was a mistake – at half the size it would have offered...

My current work in progress, tentatively titled Adventure Constant, features a hero of undefined race (character insert vagueness for the win!) fighting the Nordic villain and his middle-eastern henchmen through sea caves.  He is hard pressed and facing Certain Doom, when his adventure team buddies show up.  They consist of a...

I’ve been tinkering with a little (free) print and play game made available by DwarfStar Games called Star Smuggler (available here).  In it, you take on the role of Duke Springer, star smuggler.  You have a ship, a full load-out of fuel, 2000 spacebucks, and 120,000 mortgage on your Antelope-class spaceship. ...

Crazy Horses is now available on Amazon.com. David J. West is the king of the weird west.  But he writes too fast. I haven’t found time to read Scavengers yet, let alone free up space for the second book in the series. But you can now get both books...

Looking for some fast action at the lowest price possible? Bryce Beattie has a deal for you.  It isn’t clear how long this deal will stick around, but for now you can get the first issue of StoryHack for free.  My own contribution features Karl Barber, modern day adventurer,...

My latest book is coming along swimmingly. The tentative title is “The Adventure Constant”, and it features a man flung into a far future (or is it an alternate earth?) by a malfunctioning FTL drive. Here’s a little sneak peek: It didn’t work. That was all Jack could think...

After slogging through a few less than stellar attempts at pulp and a pair of Hugo worthy novelettes, it feels fantastic to soak up some Schuyler Hernstrom.  It isn’t just palette cleansing, it’s soul cleansing.  It’s writing so rich that I find myself stopping just to prolong the pleasure. ...
