The Brittle Riders is Getting Some Love

The Brittle Riders continues to garner 4 & 5 star reviews. If you haven't read it yet you might want to read it twice just to catch up. Bill has a great way with throwing his characters in at the deep end and right away you start to feel for them. - Dawn Chapman (T)he main characters were interesting and there was just enough uncertainty as to whether the daring plan would work out or not meant that I had to read to the end to find out. - Claire Busse Thanks for those ideas of fantastic creatures. I enjoyed them. - S. L. Tsao

Net Neutrality

Here'e the good news, as it were, on the new FCC ruling concerning net neutrality. Breitbart & Fox News, two huge users of bandwidth, will be forced to pay exorbitant fees to stay online. Which means their readers will be charged to cover those fees. Think about $20 a month and you won't be far off. The same will apply to Occupy Democrats, MSNBC and others. In one fell swoop partisan news would be eliminated. Amazon, Target, Walmart, Ali Baba, and the rest will get killed by the new fees and go dark, online anyway, as well. No one is going to pay Sears' prices for Walmart crap. Plus the death of indy publishing is guaranteed. Along with your chance to create that cool personal coffee mug on those vanity sites. Obviously, as a side note, that means my midget-clown porn fan sites will cost more so regular people like me may be forced to take one for the team. On a personal note, my author site falls under the radar so you can still go there, waste your money on my writing (there are non-Amazon distribution vehicles coming in 2018), and not incur a surcharge. Or, to put it simply this holiday season, BUY MY SHIT! CLICK HERE

Knife Fights and Chatting with Jesus

Not many authors could discuss the joys of getting into a knife fight with a biker and why breaking bread with Jesus would be fun. Fortunately for you I am not many authors. Thanks to Cindy Tomamichel for the opportunity to chat. Name 5 fictional characters you would invite to a dinner party. Where would the party be? I wouldn’t invite anyone to a dinner party. We’d meet at a bar. Minor quibble aside, I’d invite Beowulf, Gilgamesh, Fiben, the Borg queen, and Michonne. I’m pretty sure we’d scare the piss out of everyone and never pay for a drink. I’m also sure Kahleesi would join us. I mean, seriously, how could a dragon loving woman who’s drunk blood not feel at home with this lot? http://cindytomamichel.com/?p=516

A Voice In My Head Speaks

Sland, from The Brittle Riders , took some time to speak with Ducky Smith at the Sci-Fi Roundtable . Here's a sample. SFRT: Greetings, for today’s issue of Ten Questions I’ll be talking with Sland from the Brittle Riders. Sland: No. SFRT: No? Sland: Ten is too many. No one knows ten things. SFRT: Everyone knows ten things. Most know many more. Sland: No they don’t. I only know one. That’s all I need.

Amazon Black Friday Blowout!

Bill McSciFi Speaks!

Me speek werds. Me speek gud werds. All seriousness aside, this is a fun interview with Michael Noe and, occasionally, Kasey Hill . She's kind of quiet. We talked about The Brittle Riders, why I write, and then we took a minute to listen to me choke on vodka that went down the wrong pipe. Think how famous I'd be if I died right then. LIBERAL SCI FI WRITER KILLED BY RUSSIAN VODKA! PRESIDENT'S ASSOCIATES SUSPECTED! Yeah, that would have been fun. Anyway, I'm still alive, the trilogy is still out, and the interview is available whenever you want to check it out. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SHOW

Chatting With Geldish

Geldish, the alleged leader of The Brittle Riders, took time out from fomenting revolution to chat with Mary Woldering. READ THE INTERVIEW HERE Although he hates all humans, for good reasons, he still managed to be somewhat polite. Kind of. Oh, heck, he tried, let's just give him that.
