Head on over to SF Signal to read my thoughts on John Joseph Adam’s newest anthology, The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2015.
Read MoreDialogue: It’s All About The He Said, She Said Bull…(Writing Workshop)
Today’s topic is extra-super important so why don’t you butt-scoot a bit closer, take your earbuds out, put the phone and curling iron down, and listen up; we’re talking Dialogue today. Before we dive in elbows deep in storytelling ichor, let’s do a little group visualization. Think back on the last really good movie you…
Read MoreTime Heist and Parallel Get Reviewed!
I don’t like using the One Lazy Robot blog to tout my own books too much, but every now and then I get a review that makes me smile and I have the irresistible urge to share with ya’ll. This week I had two such reviews. First came a review for Parallel from loyal reader,…
Read MoreJoining The Future Chronicles!
Here’s some news: I’m writing a Time Travel short story for The Future Chronicles, and if I were any more excited I’d need to take a potty training refresher course. For those of you unfamiliar with the Chronicles, they are curated by none other than Samuel Peralta himself, and explore the truly mind bogglingly (Yes,…
Read MoreScience Fiction Has Gotten A Little…Gay.
This is going to be another touchy subject so let’s all promise to be on our best behavior right out of the gate? If not, I’m prepared to throw down, if you know what I mean. *smacks a riding crop menacingly into the palm of his hand* Good. Now that we’re all reading the same…
Read MoreTime For Another Free Book!
Howdy kiddos and grownos (<– I’m making that into a word, so deal with it) last week I was giving away free copies of Standing Kill Orderlies. If you missed the boat, no worries, I’m back again this week with another free offer. Click the pic to be magically transported to Amazon where you can…
Read MoreStanding Kill Orderlies Free!
Psst. Hey you, do you like free stuff? Of course you do, you’re a frugally minded individual, why wouldn’t you love free? Okay, fair point, sometimes free equals shoddy workmanship. Also, just to play devil’s advocate, sometimes free = bed-bugs. You wouldn’t take a free mattress off the side of the road would you? Wait,…
Read MoreLittle Girl Ass Kicking Incoming!!!
Listen, I got a confession to make. Better come in close for this one. As some of you may know, I am a thirty-something middle-class white male. So I’m in like the 90th percentile when it comes to entitlement and privilege. I point this out because my demographic sort of shields me from a lot…
Read MorePerdido Street Station Review
I’m like the Grinch when it comes to giving out five star reviews. I’m stingy, but it’s for a reason. I reserve those magical five stars for books that are truly transcendent (whatever the hell that means). Typically this means the story has got to be on point, no dragging, no off-putting tangents that ultimately…
Read MoreThe Hugo Post I Promised Myself I Wouldn’t Write
The other day I was in the bookstore and overhead two people talking about this year’s Hugo Awards. One guy was telling his female compatriot all about how some people cheated the voting process and hijacked the awards in attempt to push their own right wing conservative politics…or something like that. Truth was, and he…
