E-Book Prices, Getting Less Than What You Paid For
I read a lot (well over 100 books a year), and I don’t have a strong preference for medium one way or the other. If it has an awesome cover, or something I might want to have on my shelf, I’ll buy the paperback. If I just want to read the story then I’ll get…
Read MoreBooks of the Week!
Before we get in up to our elbows worth of books I want to give ya’ll a heads-up that starting tomorrow Time Heist will be FREE on Amazon through the end of the week. So if you’ve been holding off on getting yourself a copy, or you have a frugally inclined friend looking for a new…
Read MoreBlogging Made Simple!
I was having a conversation with my buddy Rupert from http://paranorensics.com/ about getting noticed in that big ol’ blogosphere. It’s tough going, for certain, and I am by no means an expert. But I have had a few mildly successful blogs in the past, and while OneLazyRobot is only two months old it has nearly 700 followers, which…
Read MoreThe Expanse
The other day I did a real quick write up on James Corey’s Leviathan Wakes (which was a great little space opera, if that’s your thing) and lo and behold today I come across a trailer for a 10 episode series SyFy is doing called The Expanse (based on Leviathan Wakes). I’m interested to see what…
Read MoreNOVR
Another short film. This one has pretty good CGI, decent acting, and an interesting story line. Got to say for a short film it was pretty alright.

Yaay, it’s short story Monday! Tuesday! It’s not a thing, but we’re gonna pretend like it is. Here’s a little short story I wrote way back when. Want more free short stories? Head over to OneLazyRobot and you can scrounge up some more. Super Hero Woes “With great power comes great responsibility.” -Uncle Ben from…
Read MoreBooks of the Week!
Oh, god…we’re off to a bad start. I’ve already lied to you. You came here all innocently expecting the Books of the Week, but what you’re actually getting are the Books of the Last Two Weeks. I know, I’m sorry. You’re getting way more than you bargained for. What can I say? We had some…
Read More2014 Reading List
It took a bit, but I finally managed to compile my reading list from last year. As you can see there’s a whole lot of Sci-Fi and Fantasy in there with the occasional How-To book on writing (hey, gotta keep those chops fresh!). The most read author of 2104 was Chuck Wendig, but if you’re…
Read MoreShort Sci-Fi Movies Morning!
Here’s a little short Sci-Fi movie roundup for you. One of the things all these films have going for them is some fantastic visual and sound effects. Acting is typically “meh” and the story lines are a bit “whuuu?” but that’s what you get from a 3 minute movie. Enjoy. There’s a story to this…
Read MoreThe Dreaded One Star!
No, that’s not the little, skinnier cousin of the Death Star, though it can destroy worlds if you let it. The 1 star is as straight forward as it sounds, it’s a 1 star review and if you stay in the game long enough as a writer (or really, any creative type) you’re bound to…
