Metal Monday Returns!

March 4, 2019 by James Young Leave a Comment

*coughs on dust*  So it’s funny going back and finding the number of times I’ve tried to update the “Metal Monday” program.  I will say, in the dark ages of trying to get things done, that became one of the “things that could go away.” So we’re going to try and do this again.  😀  […]

On Anthologies

March 3, 2019 by James Young 2 Comments

So there was a discussion on a fellow author’s Facebook about anthologies.  While I wasn’t going to add to my long “to do” stack, Cedar Sanderson felt strongly enough about the issue to put together a great post about the topic, while Dorothy Grant also gave her views on the topic. I’ll add a couple things […]

The Write Up That Was Foretold…

February 28, 2019 by James Young 1 Comment

So about a year ago, when I was talking to several of my fellow indie author friends, they mentioned a convention known as “LTUE.”  When I asked what the acronym stood for, I was told, “Life, The Universe, and Everything.”  Being familiar with conventions overselling and underperforming (and shamefully not recognizing the Hitchhiker’s Guide to […]

LTUE Snippet and Those In Peril

February 19, 2019 by James Young 1 Comment

Hey Everyone! So last week was pretty wild.  I attended Life, The Universe, and Everything (LTUE), a writer’s symposium based in Provo, UT.  Longer discussion coming soon, once I have a chance to collect all my thoughts and note from the weekend.  Suffice to say I had a blast, got to see lots of old friends […]

Nano Nano

November 7, 2018 by James Young 2 Comments

So, I’ve started my Nano project for this year (while still editing For Those In Peril…).  For 2018 I decided to do the next novel in the Usurper’s War series.  It is entitled Against the Tide Imperial, and I’ll hopefully be able to build off of Nano momentum to get it out in the first half of […]

Humanitarian Assistance and the Navy

October 29, 2018 by James Young Leave a Comment

So for USNI’s General Essay Contest last year, I posited that maybe the United States Navy should develop purpose built vessels for disaster relief.  While I did not place, they liked the article well enough to put it on the Naval Institute’s Blog.

Aries' Red Sky Dramatis Personae

October 22, 2018 by James Young 2 Comments

So I got the first review in my audiobook blog tour yesterday.  It was very positive–and brought up something I didn’t think about, which is that listeners of the audiobook have no way of getting a character list.  So, without further ado, here one is:   Dramatis Personae for Aries’ Red Sky C.S.S. Marxville Captain Tyr […]
