I’m up at Mad Genius Club today with an article on facets of design that can be useful to those who are creating or purchasing book covers, ads, and promotional materials, among other uses.

The Starter List of Science Fantasy
Over at the Mad Genius Club I talk about what Science Fantasy is, as a subgenre of science fiction. Where science and magic exist on the same plane, stories that stretch the imagination are born. If you haven’t read any, this is a good place to start. If you love the genre already, then perhaps…

Mingling Mythology

Monday Morning Musings
I have been allowed to muse at length on scat, parasites, and how they create a fine metaphor not only for the Hugo tempest in a teacup, but also life in general, over at According to Hoyt. I’m putting this here to hopefully remember and explore when I have more time… it has literally been…
