Ooooh, so McNaughty!
It’s nice to have fans. One such fan is a young lady named Sabrina Zaremba is the kind of fan creators dream about, often with unhealthy outcomes. While many fans will write blogs, or share social media posts, or even post reviews, Sabrina shows her love of comics by stripping down to the barest of lace and latex and then draping herself in comics. Her two new favorites, Legends Parallel and Hybrid Zero fit well into that kind of promotion. Seriously, it was like a match made in heaven. Since I know that many, but not quite all, of my followers would like to see a scantily clad woman draped in comics, I have some links for you.

Some of you missed the memo that SPLICE: HIT BIT TECHNOLOGIY was recently voted Best Sci-Fi Novel of 2020 by the Critters’ Readers’ Poll. Critters is a nickname given to literary critics. SPLICE is currently available at Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. And, as cool as all that is, we are now seeing preliminary story boards getting completed in preparation for the movie. It’s still going to be a few months before they begin pre-production, but every thing’s moving towards that goal.
Goptri of the Mists is also out now and getting some love. Just like with SPLICE, Azoth Khem did a digital soft launch. The idea is simple, we get to make a few bucks and if someone notices a mistake it can be fixed easily. In SPLICE, for example, I’d forgotten a postage stamp. It sounds like a little thing but it brought the story to a halt if you were paying attention, and several readers were. God bless them. So far no one has spotted any glaring errors in Goptri, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
My latest short story, FUN TIME AT THE APOCALYPSE A GO-GO, has been released in Sci-Fi Lampoon. The Lampoon is built to offend, terrify, and amuse people. Often all at once. It has no effect on other species as far as we know. It’s a great magazine assembled by a world class editing staff. Your multiverse will be cooler the second you order your copy.
In truly fun news, EDM legends, GO FIGHT are releasing a concept album entitled MekaDisko and have decided to include science fiction short stories, read by professionals, as a companion piece. It will go live in March but you can check out promo videos and music when you click on their name. My offering, TIKKA WANTS A LOLLY-CAT, will be one of the stories you’ll be able to hear.
Lastly, I was interviewed by People Globally as part of their effort to discover what makes humans tick. It’s more of a look inside my squishy brain than anything to do with writing, but I enjoyed it. It’s brief so you can read it all in a couple of minutes. Fun fact, People Globlally is a wholly owned subsidiary of TNWTL (That’s No Way to Live). Check it out, it was fun to do and I’m happy to share.
That’s enough for one day. Until next week stay safe, sane, and inside.

Too McCool Not To McShare
Welcome to . As an author who works with a variety of black owned businesses, like Hadithi Sambamba and Nerdanatix, this is an opportunity to remind people that diversity, in all its myriad forms, is the best way to build your brand. If everyone in your fan club looks like you, you have made some horrible life choices. Or, simply put, if you don’t think I’m a black lesbian, you haven’t read my stuff.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I have oodles and oodles of neato stuff to share. Yeah, I know, I sound like a toddler. But I’m excited to share some fun, new, stuff with you. I was recently interviewed on CHAT AND SPIN, a U.K. radio show, and had a ball. CLICK HERE then scroll down to Part One, January 30, and you’ll find me at the 2:03:50 mark. That’s right kids, you can hear me talk about me with another guy who wants to talk about me and both of us are talking about SPLICE: HIT BIT TECHNOLOGY. Life doesn’t get much better than that.
Or does it?
My latest short story, FUN TIME AT THE APOCALYPSE A GO-GO, has been released in Sci-Fi Lampoon. If you’re not sure if a story that involves titanium cheese slicers skinning living victims is for you, I have some good news. You can CLICK HERE to hear me read an excerpt from it for free. I’m pretty sure that’ll get you to bust out the credit card. Or get a restraining order. It’s a fine line.
SPLICE: HIT BIT TECHNOLOGIY, recently voted Best Sci-Fi Novel of 2020 by the Critters’ Readers’ Poll, is continuing to win new fans every day. Critters is a nickname given to literary critics. SPLICE is currently available at Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. And, as cool as all that is, this week saw some preliminary story boards getting completed in preparation for the movie. It was supposed to film in 2020, but this silly pandemic happened and the cost of insurance for cast and crew went right through the roof, soared above the clouds and attained a stable orbit at the outer edges of the troposphere. But, now that vaccines are a thing, and sensible precautions are being enforced, it appears this can finally see the light of day. It’s still going to be a few months before they begin pre-production, but everything’s moving towards that goal.
Now that we’ve got this whole email thing working like a champ a few of you felt safe enough to write me with questions. More specifically, a question. “Where can we get McSciFi T-shirts and stuff?” This one’s easy. Just CLICK HERE and wallow in all the coo coo coolness. It’s an easy page to navigate. You click on an image you like and you’ll be presented with over a hundred options that you can have it printed on. It’s not as daunting as it seems since there’s a menu that helps you sort things out. If all you want is a T-shirt, you can select that and everything else will go away.
One important thing you might enjoy is the brand new website for Bill McSciFi. It’s got a nifty new landing page, new content, new promotional videos, and updated descriptions on most everything. Stuff that’s free to read is clearly marked now, and everything else has direct links for purchasing. You’d think that would have been the case all along, but it wasn’t. Just because I write sci-fi doesn’t make me smart.
That’s enough for one day. Until next week stay safe, sane, and inside.
