Happy Black Friday y'all!

Whether you're done with your Black Friday strategic strikes, or just plotting your online shopping spree today, here's a few holiday gift suggestions for the sci-fi/fantasy reader in your life...

(See ⬇️ for the Amazon connections!)

ONE OCTOBER NIGHT - One story every night, born from a drawing. Fantasy, science fiction, mystery, this collection has it all. Come for the night and see what you find, because it's never boring here in October.

RECALL NOTICE - (ebook only) Eddie's had a rough thirteen months. He's been cursed by a gypsy, assigned his own sister as his court appointed witch, and is up to his neck in mandated community service. When he picks up a new client, his luck finally changes — for the worse. Can this PI turned black cat navigate a world of friendly zombies, orcish goons, and bad luck by the crate to somehow save the day?

MINSTRELS IN THE GALAXY - A dozen science fiction authors spin their own yarns, inspired by the music of Jethro Tull. Belly up to the bar somewhere out among the stars. Grab yourself a drink, and settle in for some colorful tales from our minstrels in the galaxy. Stories of things that could have been, things that might have been...and of things that should have been, but never were.

TALES FROM THE WOOD - A dozen fantasy authors spin their own tales, inspired by the music of Jethro Tull. Come join us around the fire for stories of all manner of witches, wizards, dragons, and fae beings both light and dark as these bards bring you their Tales from the Wood.

2024 HIGH CALIBER AWARDS - A young traveling judge on the road with an Imperial Magus struggles to keep his own magical talent hidden while investigating a series of crimes that look to be the work of a powerful necromancer. (I'm working on continuing this story into a full novel for Cannon Publishing! 😁)

WYRD WEST - Out in the Wasaya territory of the Old West, myth collides with reality, and anything can be true. A missing town draws a Federal Marshal and an itinerant preacher together to confront an ancient evil that wants to consume them all - and more. Get my story and another nine from stellar authors in this volume!

ZNB PRESENTS: YEAR TWO - What would happen if the "Chosen One" was a sixty year-old widowed fisherwoman? Find out in "Harrold of the Gods", only one of the two dozen stories in this anthology!

And more! That's a sample of what you can find on my Amazon Author's page. Take a look and find something for the geek that you love, and give them a gift they can enjoy while they're curled up next to a fire this holiday season!

Oh, and if you're looking for some additional information, I list some of my favorite indie publishers and samples of what they offer in a Substack post - pop over and check it out.

Just finished “A Boy Against the Boxers” by Jacob Sharp. An excellent Boys Adventure book from @raconteur_press. Filled with peril, adventure, and heroism, a great book for younger readers. It’s a great way to teach children about forgotten historical events like this.

9/10

I look grumpy. But I was laughing inside. And outside. Quite a bit, actually. We had fun. :)

I need to read MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS.

No, I am not Catholic, but the intersection of theology and CS is more or less smack-dab in the middle of my wheelhouse. (My old blog was titled "The Embedded Theologian" for a reason.)

In particular, I am interested in the argument that AI may either be morally good, or morally evil... and which it is depends entirely on whether it gives itself over to human direction and judgement or not.

The parallels between God and humanity, or between the loyal and rebellious angels, is fascinating. I want to see if the Pope dove into those areas, or merely stuck his toe in to test the waters.

If Amazon called it "pulp" and advertised how it yellows with age I would pay *extra* for the groundwood paper option.

[Bill Willingham @BillWillingham]

I met Stan Lee once at a tiny, tiny Seattle comic show. They put my table right next to his, which was cool. His vast, out-the-door line blocked all access to my table, which wasn’t cool. Eventually I realized I could sell pages to the fans patiently waiting to see Stan. I sold…
