October 11, 2015 Sterling Lanier: Appendix N Meets the Apocalypse For many, the 1980’s were years shadowed by the specter of nuclear war. I never worried about it. But nuclear war — the chances, the scenarios, the aftermath — fueled the creations of filmmakers, writers, musicians, etc. It was the decade that brought Kris Kristofferson’s… Continue reading Sterling Lanier: Appendix N Meets the Apocalypse.

Hello Blank Page, My Old Friend. Resurrected Post.
October 4, 2015 Hello Blank Page, My Old Friend Beginning a new project is both exhilarating and daunting. The notebook or the blank document sits before you, an expanse of empty white space waiting for you to fill it with words. There is a great degree of freedom promised by the empty page. You can… Continue reading Hello Blank Page, My Old Friend. Resurrected Post.
The Shotgun Approach. Resurrected Post.
September 27, 2015 The Shotgun Approach I prefer to outline before I begin writing. I want a blueprint for the general structure in place, a scaffolding built to give me purchase from which to work. But once that’s done, I have to fill those empty space I reach from the scaffolding. Sometimes I have a… Continue reading The Shotgun Approach. Resurrected Post.
Reconnoitering Kindle Scout. Resurrected Post.
September 20, 2015 Reconnoitering Kindle Scout I’ve written before about the slender paperbacks popular in the 60s and 70s. They no longer make financial sense in today’s publishing market. Not in print, at any rate. But it seems to me they are admirably suited to e-readers. Digital is the new pulp. When checking up on… Continue reading Reconnoitering Kindle Scout. Resurrected Post.
Robert E. Howard, Appendix N’s Top Dog Contender. Resurrected Post.
September 13, 2015 Robert E. Howard, Appendix N’s Top Dog Contender I approach this entry with some trepidation. I knew I’d need to write about Robert Ervin Howard at some point.

Autumn is Coming! Resurrected Post.
September 6, 2015 Autumn is Coming! Autumn is coming! Look to your rakes, sons of the Northern Hemisphere. So, yeah, there’s that. Signs of the end of summer are accumulating. Chief among them: College football. Sales of chicken wings begin their annual climb, to a false peak during January bowl games, then ascending once more… Continue reading Autumn is Coming!

“Heroic Fantasy” Earns Its Title.
I finally got my hands on a copy of the anthology Heroic Fantasy. That’s a good cover, isn’t it? There’s a story in that illustration that I’d like to read someday. The introduction was…adequate. After reading so many Sword-and-Sorcery anthologies I’ve discovered the intros tend to cover the same ground. This one adds little or… Continue reading “Heroic Fantasy” Earns Its Title.
Second Novel Ruminations. Resurrected Post.
August 30, 2015 Second Novel Ruminations Under Strange Suns debuted almost a week ago. By this point you may well be tired of my mentioning it. Could be I’m tired of mentioning it too, ever think of that, bucko? Hmmm? How about you buy a copy and I’ll stop bringing it up? What’s that, you… Continue reading Second Novel Ruminations.
