  • Covering the Myths

    Fellow indie author Cedar Sanderson hits some of the high points on covers. I’ll not say we’re in 100% agreement with the cover = art bit, but that’s also because I sell the prints at cons. To the point where a couple of my covers have either paid for themselves completely or are well on…

  • Comic Pop Library

    I was reviewed by Comic Pop Library.  Hilarity ensued! Ep 20 ComicPop Licensed to Read James Young’s “An Unproven Concept”

  • Yankee Doodle Went to Town…With A Load of HE…: Strategic Bombing Campaign II

    Having covered the Western Campaign, the Battle of Britain, and the first phase of RAF Bomber Command‘s assault on the Third Reich, it’s time to start the United States’ portion of the Strategic Bombing Campaign.  Again, in the interest of brevity, I’m going to do a little background then make liberal use of the fast…

  • On Being a Shaman, Part II

    I was surfing YouTube Tannerite videos. (Don’t ask.) In one of them, some farmers were using Tannerite to thin the local wild boar herd. That got me thinking… “Y’all keep laying with that Tannerite, you’re going to cause some messed up stuff! You better quit it!” “What the hell are you talking about? We’re taking…

  • Sergeant Pepper Bombs Mr. Adolph–The Strategic Bombing Campaign I

    So, remember way back when I said I was going to do fighter history and bombing history separate?  Yeah, I refreshed my memory on bombing during World War I. *insert yawn here* I mean, it happened.  There were even a few times it was effective in the “we made a big mess” kind of way.…

  • A Little Gallows Humor

    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

    Continuing the Blog Tour crossposting, here is the guest blog I did over at Long and Short Reviews.  A lot of this should already be known to long-time readers of the blog, but I figured I’d share for those of you just coming by during and after Planet Comic Con. Five Down and Glory I’d…

  • A Bit of A Miscue

    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…

  • Scam Warnings (Chris Nuttall)

    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.
