You’re Wrong About Star Wars, and So Am I

“Peace is a lie, there is only passion.” – from the Sith Code (Qotsisajak), by Jedi heretic Sorzus Syn (6900 BBY)

Before we get started here, you should know that I haven't seen The Rise of Skywalker. Yet. I'm going to eventually, even though I haven't bothered to shield myself from the spoilers and I pretty much know all the big stuff that happens. (Not going to spoil anything here.)

[image error]You should also know that I am basically a casual Star Wars fan. It's not at the top of my list of favorite...

My 2020 Vision (ha ha, I made a funny)

Here we are again. This is starting to become a pattern. I show up at the beginning of the year with all kinds of grandiose plans, and they…

…well, I won't say that they don't end up happening, but usually they wind up being very different from what I had first intended. I'm not even going to bother looking back at the post I wrote in January 2019, because I'm sure it will be incredibly embarrassing. Naturally, I'm sure that my website will helpfully link to it at the bottom of this post so...

Chironicles

So I've started a side hustle.

No, it's not illegal dragon racing, though don't think I haven't considered that.

It's a webcomic about mythical people saying funny stuff. Welcome to Chironicles.

A word of explanation: recently, I started posting funny text conversations amongst mythological characters on Twitter and elsewhere. They were popular, and a lot of fun to write, so I decided I really ought to do more with them. I tried posting a couple of very roughly-drawn comics, and they got a...

Doctor Who Series 12 Release Date Trailer Breakdown

Surprise; the BBC has released a second trailer for Series 12 of Doctor Who. And the even BIGGER surprise…

…the release date is exactly when we all guessed it would be last December. (New Year's Day, in case you haven't heard.)

I'm not complaining; merely poking fun. And the trailer looks quite excellent, even better than the last one in some respects, so the sooner we see these new episodes the better.

Time for another breakdown. This one won't be quite as long as my last trailer analysis,...

Confident Creations

Not long ago, I announced that I was starting a book design business.

And then I put a contact form on it that malfunctioned and sent any responses I might have gotten straight to my spam folder. Fun times.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, because I'm hitting the reset button and starting over today. Plus, I'm thinking bigger this time around.

[image error]Welcome to Confident Creations. We offer editing and book design at affordable prices to indie authors. Our goal is to give you the professional-quality...

But there's a fourth audiobook on the way as well…

Yes, You DO Need More Books

How's your Black Friday going so far? Getting ready to go out and do some shopping, are we?

Well, knock it off. Get rid of that winter coat, put on some pajamas and fuzzy slippers, turn up the heat, and snuggle down in front of your computer. Because this is the twenty-first century, and you don't need to waste time elbowing through the crowds at Wal-Mart. You can get everything you need right here on the Internet.

And by “everything you need,” I naturally mean books. Whatelse could I...

Doctor Who Series 12 Trailer: Full Breakdown

Before we get started, just a quick reminder that my latest novella, Hollow, is now available for purchase! If you're only here for the Doctor Who content and don't care about my writing, that's fine…however, just so you know, my Afterverse books are very Doctor-Who-ish.
