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.

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.

April 26, 2017 by James Young 2 Comments

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.

Contract Law (With Special Guest Amie Gibbons)

There are certain milestones with every blog.  First post.  100th post.  That post that summons a scribe demon from an alternate dimension and leads to a 30 minute write off where you save humanity at the cost of truly epic carpal tunnel.   Well, two out of three of those have happened on this site.

January 22, 2017 by James Young Leave a Comment

Sorry I’ve been a little behind in posting these.  Had the great fun of being ill for a bit and got behind.  I did two more Write Pack Radio Podcasts that have been published.

September 10, 2016 by James Young Leave a Comment
