A couple days ago, I saw Karina Cooper tweet about calling on all members of the steampunk community for help with a cause near and dear to her. While I’ve never been to any conventions or made my own costume, The Exile’s Violin is steampunk, so I checked out her post. That’s where I was made aware [...]
Facetious jokes aside, I have a lot to say about Bioshock Infinite. This post is going to be relative unstructured and is something of a response to two other fantastic posts: “Notes on Bioshock Infinite” by Brendan Keogh and this actionbutton.net review of the game by Tim Rogers. I agree with the majority of both those [...]
I love listening to music while I write. That’s just how I work best. If it’s too quiet my mind tends to wander. Some writers I know say they don’t like music with words when they’re putting pen to paper (or fingers to keys, I suppose is more likely). I vary back and forth. Some [...]
With the Veronica Mars Movie Kickstarter being a thing that exists and many of the people I follow on the internet flipping out about it, I decided that now would be a good time to give the series a try. I saw a few episodes in college when my girlfriend’s roommate was re-watching the series [...]
Since I have some extra copies of The Exile’s Violin at home taking up space on my kitchen table, I decided to autograph them and give them away on Goodreads! The contest will run from now until May 20th, which happens to be my birthday. If you win it’ll be like I’m giving you a birthday present! All [...]

This post is inspired by a short conversation I had with Robert Jackson Bennett on Twitter a couple of weeks ago. It went a little something like this: @robertjbennett My mom asked me if I ever wanted to write something like Nicholas Sparks and give up that science fiction stuff. — R.S.

Hey everyone. Just a quick heads up that an interview with yours truly is up on Frankie Blooding’s website. I talk a little bit about my writing process, how I write crazy outlines, and why I sometimes still consider myself “not a real writer”. So if you want to read about those things, go check [...]

I’ve been on a mission to fill in the gaps of my gaming knowledge. Critical darling and cult favorite PS2/XBox/PC action-adventure game Psychonauts is currently on my plate. I didn’t play it when it first came out in 2005 because I wasn’t as immersed in videogame culture and had no idea what the game was about. [...]
A friend asked me to review K.J. Klimasz’s Murders, Bikers And A Meteor anthology as part of a blog tour. Knowing nothing else about the collection other than it had science fiction stories in it, I agreed to read it. Chances are if I had come across this collection on my own, I would not have finished [...]
I feel it’s part of my job as a science fiction and fantasy writer to create a sense of place. What does that even mean? Here’s how I’d describe it: it’s more than just creating another world (if you write secondary world fantasy). It’s about making sure you capture an essence, a feeling about the place. [...]
