    It Was A Good Day…

    For starters, I got a guest blog spot over at PJ Media. Then I got a good blurb from Midwest Book Review: Critique: With the launch of “Acts of War”, author James Young shows himself to be a master of that science fiction sub-genre called ‘Alternate History’.

  • Wrath of Con, Part I (The Eve)

    Several months ago, I made the decision to attend my first Con as a vendor.  Given the concentration of sci-fi geeks in one place and what have you, I figured I’d see how the first one went and then make decisions on whether it was worth the time, $$ (oh, I’m sorry, we’re at $$$$…

    New Cover Art for Kraken Edition
