FEATURED BOOK OF THE MONTH

Jay And Char Save The Galaxy

Delivery jobs don’t usually come with a side of heroism.

Husband and wife duo Jay and Char run a transport starship-for-hire. They haul cargo and passengers across the galaxy—for the right price. Is it the prestigious job Jay’s mother wished he had? No, but disappointing her was nothing new.

When a pair of nonhuman travelers booked passage on Jay and Char’s ship, they failed to mention the whole host of trouble they’d be bringing with them. Now, the fate of the galaxy is in jeopardy, and it’s somehow up to a pair of middle-aged interplanetary freight haulers to fix it.

And the bigger question is: Will saving the galaxy finally be enough to make it onto Jay’s mom’s holiday brag letter?

Are You a Sell-Out if You Get Paid?

March 23, 2021

The question of "selling out" can get convoluted. Photo by Travis Essinger on Unsplash There is an impression that someone who writes for money – or does anything else for money – is a sellout. This notion, unfortunately, has created the idea of the starving artist. There is this concept...

Reissues and Renovations

Why do reissues and renovations of your work? Photo by Andrew Neel on Unsplash I am a product of the 70s and 80s. I saw Star Wars (sorry, to me it’s not Episode IV – A New Hope, it’s just Star Wars) in 1977 when I was almost 5. That...
