For the challenge Subgenre Frankenstein over at Terribleminds. Don’t ask me how they found me. I’d changed my name, moved across the country, started over with a new job, a new life. I stayed off of the grid, paid for things in cash, and wasn’t exactly on the right side of the law. I’d never… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Destroyer's Lament
Writer Report: Brief Respite
This is my week between travel in August. Otakon is behind me, and PAX Prime is ahead. The trip to Seattle will be much longer than the one to Baltimore, and I’ll have a bit more Internet access while I’m there. Reluctant as I am to check a bag, I think it’s going to be… Continue reading Writer Report: Brief Respite
Book Review: The Fault In Our Stars
I have a confession to make. I follow John Green around. I follow his Tumblr. I follow his Twitter. I subscribe to his YouTube channels CrashCourse, MentalFloss and Vlogbrothers. I do this because I believe him to be extremely intelligent and insightful. I deeply admire his goal to, as he puts it, “decrease worldsuck” through… Continue reading Book Review: The Fault In Our Stars
Flash Fiction: Dust's Cape
One of the titles generated by the Random Story Title Generator for this Terribleminds challenge inspired the following. The people passing by on the street probably saw her as one of Boston’s countless bohemian young people. Between the purple in her hair and the rings in her lip, it was an easy mistake to make,… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Dust's Cape
Deluge Summer 2013
I was hoping to have time this morning to wrap up this week’s Flash Fiction after the start I got last night. Otakon wrapped up well, I travelled without incident, and went to bed thinking I can finish what I began before getting some much-needed rest. I woke up to find one of my neighbors… Continue reading Deluge Summer 2013
The Author Is Out: Baltimore 2013
I will be in Baltimore, Maryland for the Otakon anime convention for the weekend. If you’re in the area, look me up! I’ll be part of the staff, working with the Panels department. This should put Flash Fiction on Tuesday, and a review of a game on Wednesday. It’s about time I reviewed another game,… Continue reading The Author Is Out: Baltimore 2013
My Board Gaming Future
Courtesy Theology of Games For those of you who don’t know, Shut Up & Sit Down is an excellent show about board games. Most of them are reviews, but there are a few Let’s Plays and specials sprinkled in. Paul and Quinns are great hosts, breaking down game mechanics and thematic elements in concise and… Continue reading My Board Gaming Future
Movie Review: The Wolverine
You would think that a prospect like The Wolverine would not be considered risky. Wolverine is, after all, a well-established character in the Marvel universe, a member of so many teams that he risks overexposure. Yet it is that exposure that threatened this project from the outset. X-Men: The Last Stand is considered by many… Continue reading Movie Review: The Wolverine
Capital D
Drugs, man. I was put on Abilify to try and combat some of my depressive periods. It’s done that, but it’s also given me an overwhelming sense of restlessness and an inability to properly focus on many tasks. I’m seeing my doctor tonight to help and deal with this. I’m hopeful I can still get… Continue reading Capital D
Flash Fiction: Magnum Damage
Courtesy Alistair Cunningham For the Terribleminds challenge, Somethingpunk. I think this qualifies more as laserpunk than cyberpunk, but you be the judge. Jack Magnum was never more at home than he was on the ground, a warm beamer in his hand, goons on his tail. The incandescent neon of the street illumination and the various… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Magnum Damage
