It’s happened again, and will happen again. And we mourn, and then we fight over what to do about it. On one side, many voices call for gun bans and confiscations of specific classes of guns. They read from the Gospel of the New York Times: “America’s elected leaders offer prayers for gun victims and … More Here We Are Again.
It is easy to forget that “wonder” is a much bigger word than its normal usage. We say, “I wonder what time the movie starts.” Wonder Woman brings the wonder in its old sense, the emotion aroused by something awe-inspiring, astounding, or surprising. Gal Gadot also delivers a noble and yet wondering quality to her … More She Is A Wonder
So I was going to ignore “politics” for awhile. Unfortunately, Freedom of Speech has become a hot social issue… I know, right? This is America, and we’ve got this little sentence in our founding legal contract. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the … More Congress Shall Make No Law.
I just realized it’s been well over a month since my last blog post. Since the past few posts have either been about my RPG or politics, I thought I’d surprise everyone with a blog talking about someone else’s work for a change. So let me introduce you to Free Fall. Free Fall is a … More Free Falling
So we’re in the last week of the Kickstarter, and closing on the milestone which will unlock the sweet hardback printing of the Wearing the Cape Special Edition. For everyone who has been waiting for this, the ebook and paperback stretch goals have already been unlocked; whatever happens the book is getting a professional edit, … More A Good Month
Seriously, folks. Due to an interesting oops (I had no idea the green button would do that, I swear), the Kickstarter campaign for Wearing the Cape: The Roleplaying Game has launched. Hey, I’m just rolling with it, so see you there. Marion G. Harmon
So this is it. The end of another year. And I’ve got to admit, I can’t remember one when we have been more divided as a community (I’m speaking of my American readers here). The 2016 Election was the most rancorous election cycle in living memory. The two major parties and their electorates increasingly view … More Imagine. Please.
I went to sleep last night with the election undecided. I woke up this morning to learn that Donald Trump had won. I also woke up to find half the country losing its mind. I did not vote for Trump. I am a constitutional conservative/classical liberal, yet despite the fact that a Hillary Administration would … More The Radical Moderate 6: Chill, Everyone.
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” (H. L. Mencken) I promised myself I was going to let this election season go by without putting my political opinion out there. Because it really doesn’t matter what I think. Alas, I find it … More The Radical Moderate 5: “Choose! Choose the form of the Destructor!”
So, Team-Ups and Crossovers has been out a week. What’s in a week? About 1,000 sales, that’s what. TUAC has hit #1 in one of its Amazon Categories at least twice, and would have hit #1 in the Superhero Novel category were the space not completely crowded out by vampire erotica. In general I’ve been … More And We’re Rolling.
