Saw this on Reddit. It’s “Building the Atomium for the World Expo in Brussels, Belgium”, in 1957. I love how this could be artwork from a SF story.

Greetings, everyone! Here is the official announcement video for my next novel, Dust McAlan and the Curse of the Iron Skull. In it I talk about the plot of the book, and also what we’re planning to do with our Kickstarter campaign. The artwork in the video is from the first Dust McAlan novel, Empire of the Serpent. Please like, comment and share this video so we can spread the word about this project, as it’s something very important to me, and I’m looking forward to being able to share it.

Guess what we’ve been playing?
Here’s a taste of GTA V on PC. King Chris and Casey race down Mount Chilead the easy way…depending on how you look at it.
Stay tuned for more GTA videos coming soon! Like, comment and subscribe!

Welcome back, Loyal Subjects! King Chris...
Welcome back, Loyal Subjects! King Chris here, and we’re diving back into Emperor’s Tomb (literally). This time it involves a watery tomb beneath the Temple of Belisarius, and a rather famous member of the cryptozoological circles. Can Dr. Jones escape with his wits and spear gun alone? Chances lead towards yes, otherwise there wouldn’t be any other Indy adventures after this.

Okay. Someone asked me how I feel about writing fiction in a world that still needs actual activism and hands-on work to make life better. They said something similar to, “I get pulled away from writing fiction because I feel guilty for not making tangible benefit to the world. Isn’t fiction just escapism?”
But I also got the following message, which I’m filing some of the serial numbers off of, as it were:
“I just wanted to tell you something. When I was 18 years old, my life was a fucking mess. I worked at a store that sold comic books and one day I stumbled upon Spider and the filthy assistants. Your comic kept me from killing myself. There is a character limit here so I can’t say everything I want to but thank you. From the very deepest part of my heart.”
I post this not to self-aggrandise. It is not a unique message, for good or ill. I get them surprisingly regularly. Frankly, messages like that scare the hell out of me, because I’m not very smart and not a very clever writer and I fuck up all the time.
But fiction speaks to people. Even fiction like mine acts to tell someone, somewhere, that they’re not alone.
You want tangible, social benefits to writing fiction? There are people walking around today because other people wrote words that spoke to them. That’ll do.
And thank you.

These incredible pictures show the moment when unlucky wildlife photographer Christophe Courteau gets punched by a rowdy silverback mountain gorilla, who has become drunk after eating too many bamboo shoots.
Christophe was taking some snaps in the Volcanoes National Park, in Rwanda when Akarevuro(leader of the Kwitonda Group), a 250 kg alpha male, appears to take a dislike to being photographed. He can be seen clenching his fist before charging at the photographer who, amazingly, escaped with just a small scar on his forehead.
