A Little Gallows Humor

June 8, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

So there was a discussion of World War II on a friend’s FB page.  Specifically, we were discussing the Red Army’s rampage through Eastern Germany in mid-1945.  This, of course, got me thinking about how history has…evolved when discussing certain events.  Perhaps a sliding scale is in order: Young’s Ascending Levels of War Crime Severity […]

Long and Short Reviews Guest Blog

April 30, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

A Bit of A Miscue

April 26, 2017 by James Young 2 Comments

So one problem about the blog tour that I exacerbated by doing two books at once is that it’s easy to get the wires crossed if careful.  The Avid Reader was promoting On Seas So Crimson, and I managed to think it was doing An Unproven Concept.  Didn’t catch the mistake until the post was up.  In […]

Metal Monday–I. Am. The. Water God

April 24, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

Today we have a double feature.  I present to you, Dethklok…(cartoon violence in spades…don’t say you weren’t warned): [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53HDr0-Qew&w=560&h=315]   “Wait…wait…DID I JUST WATCH BATMAN MURDER THE LITTLE MERMAID?!”  Yes, yes you did (or saw this and decided not to click on the YouTube). Unbeknownst to me, there’s a sequel song.  Which is perhaps […]

In Which Your Host Gets Grilled

April 22, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

As part of the blog tour, I was interviewed by blogger Lisa Haselton.   Please share a little bit about your current release: An Unproven Concept is what would happen if you put Battlestar Galactica, Robotech, and Space Battleship Yamato into a cloning vat then had George R.R. Martin raise the baby.  The book centers on […]

Rogue Angels' Interview

April 19, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

So I’m in the midst of doing a blog tour through Goddess Fish.  I intend to do a rundown of things, but I thought I’d catch everyone up with what blogs I’ve been doing.  This post was done for Rogue Angels in support of On Seas So Crimson: What or who inspired you to start writing? […]

Susanne Lambdin and I were panelists today at Little Apple Comic Con.  I may have suggested death to a Disney Character. https://www.facebook.com/1574638242845819/videos/1636086166701026/

Chris mentioned he was going to do this post based on other traffic over at MGC. Just remember–there’s no such thing as a shortcut when writing.

Writing Tips: I'm Up-I'm Moving-I'm Down (Getting to A Cover)

March 9, 2017 by James Young 4 Comments

In the U.S. Army, there’s a movement technique called the 3-5 second rush.  It’s used to move from cover to cover before someone blasts you.  The soldier running is supposed to say, “I’m up! I’m seen! I’m moving! I’m down!”, with going prone or the next cover destination coinciding with “down.” *pause as I imagine […]

Guest Blogging, Some News, and a Little Q&A

March 8, 2017 by James Young 1 Comment

Sorry for some of the intermittent posting.  I have spent most of the last few days filling out interview questions for my blog tour through Goddess Fish Promotions.  For those of you who do not know what a blog tour is, basically a promotion site sets you up with guest blogs / reviews of your […]
