Blog postI’m Bob, and I’m a storyholic. It’s true, and I’ll bet you’re one, too. It’s an addiction that most of us share, no matter what our other qualities or affiliations might be. We like a good story…and we love a great one. Few things are better in this life than reading, hearing, or viewing such a story, the kind that sweeps us away and makes us forget everything else. Even writers are susceptible to this addiction, though we as a group tend to focus on storytelling mechanics, structure, and tec4 months ago Read more

Blog postIdols and inspirations can be so very important in helping us reach for our dreams. One of mine is Steve Ditko, the comic book artist/writer who created or co-created a plethora of influential comic book characters. 2021 was a big year for remembering and honoring Steve, especially in his hometown of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. An exhibit, play, and comics convention were all dedicated to his life and artistic career, which spanned decades and entertained millions (at least) around the world. Th6 months ago Read more

Blog postThe comfort zone is such a wonderful place. It’s just so snug and comfy, isn’t it? It’s where you feel relaxed, in the groove, and free of worry. As a writer, it’s where your work is a known quantity, where you’re able to write stories and books in a style or genre that feels most natural to you.
But the groove can become a rut, if you’re not careful. I know it well, as I’ve spent my fair share of time there, following well-worn paths without really challenging myself. After a while,3 years ago Read more -

A three-time Hugo Award nominated magazine, this issue of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine offers up nineteen fantastic stories by some of the best writers working in modern short fiction.
No genre limitations, no topic limitations, just great stories. Attitude, feel, and high-quality fiction equals Pulphouse.
“This is definitely a strong start. All the stories have a lot of life to them, and are worthwhile reading.” —Tangent Online on Pulphouse Fiction Magazine, Issue #1

IN THE 31ST CENTURY, LIFE IS CHEAP...
A Draconis Combine warrior struggles with immoral orders in the First Succession War. A House Davion MechWarrior participates in a risky heist as part of Operation Guerrero. A history buff battles the Word of Blake during the Liberation of Terra. What do these MechWarriors have in common? Each one pilots the same BattleMech, a survivor that has been repaired and rebuilt countless times throughout its long and bloody 300-year lifespan.
...BATTLEMECHS ARE NOT.
The 70-ton GHR-5H Grasshopper can outmaneuver and outlast some of the most fearsome enemy ’Mechs, making it an invaluable asset to battlefield commanders. Even an incapacitated Grasshopper will be rebuilt to fight another day, with a new pilot at its controls, because MechWarriors can be replaced, but ’Mechs cannot.
In BattleTech: Legacy, thirteen all-new stories chronicle the fortunes and tragedies of a single ’Mech across several tumultuous points in its wide-ranging combat history. Veteran BattleTech authors Kevin Killiany and Craig A. Reed, Jr. bookend this exciting collection, while other familiar names and new blood explore important moments in this ’Mech’s history of constant, unmitigated warfare that leaves no corner of the Inner Sphere untouched.
Strange New Worlds VI features twenty-three never-before-published stories spanning the twenty-second to the twenty-fourth centuries, from the early days of Captain Jonathan Archer to James T. Kirk and his crew to the later generations of Captains Picard, Sisko, and Janeway. These memorable new tales explore and examine the past and future of Star Trek from many different perspectives. This year's contributors include such diverse life-forms as Julie Hyzy, Shane Zeranski, Penny A. Proctor, TG Theodore, Mark Allen, Charity Zegers, Juanita Nolte, G. Wood, Pat Detmer, Robert J. Mendenhall, Geoffrey Thorne, Russ Crossley, Louisa M. Swann, Scott W. Carter, Shawn Michael Scott, Brett Hudgins, Robert J. LaBaff, Paul J. Kaplan, Jan Stevens, Kevin Andrew Hosey, Elizabeth A. Dunham, Mary Scott-Wiecek, Robert T. Jeschonek, and Annie Reed.

"Jeschonek´s stories are delightfully insane, a pleasure to read…" – Fábio Fernandes, Fantasy Book Critic
Robert T. Jeschonek "...makes a favorable—and sympathetic—case for cannibalism."—Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Starship series
