Hey Space Cadets, how’re you all doing? I hope you’ve sufficiently recovered from your turkey comma, and are back at it? Survived the dreaded Black Friday, without loss of life or limb? I ate the turkey, avoided the shopping, and visited with my in-laws. Now that the holidays are over, I’m back to the writing. I should have an announcement on the release of my fourth and final novel in The Sleeping Legion Series soon. I’m working on that new, super-duper secret project and having a blast. The instant I can share more, I will! I’ve got a short story in The The Expanding Universe 3 Anthology
that’s coming out on the 15th of December. If you want tons of fun, for the low price of 99c, then pre-order it! It’s a collection of some pretty amazing stories. Continue reading

Advanced Warning – Tomorrow for Cyber Monday!
Standard
Hey Space Cadets, I hope you’re all on the road to recovering from your Turkey Day food coma! I’m doing well, and enjoyed time with my wife’s family! Now that the holiday is come and gone, I’ll show my thankfulness by re-starting my healthier living goals. I plan on building back up to my mile walks in the morning, and will add in some stretching. I’m working on adapting my diet more holistically, instead of just dieting. I hope it’ll mean I can keep it up, since it’ll be a lifestyle change, instead of a temporary culinary one. We’ve started doing some meal prep as a family, so we cook in bulk on the weekends and then freeze it. This way, even when I need quick meals, I can have healthy ones. Finally, I plan to add yoga to the mix. My doctor thinks it can help me regain some of my lost mobility, though I’ve tried so many things I’m a bit skeptical. My good friends Jason Anspach and Nick Cole recommended DDP Yoga, so I’ll give that a shot. Continue reading

Conquering the Mind with Writing – J. R. Handley Interview
StandardHey Space Cadets, I just wanted to share an interview I did with the Great Richard Klu! Give it a read, leave a comment and have fun!
Respectfully,
JR
Below is an interview that I conducted with author J. R. Handley. I met J. R. here on WordPress and read about him on his website. It was after reading about him and his journey that I knew he was someone I wanted to talk to. You can find his blog here. J. R. Primarily writes military fiction.
What genre do you typically write? What drew you to that genre?
I write in the broader science fiction world, with a heavy leaning towards military science fiction. And I’ve always loved science fiction and fantasy, but I found that science fiction was easier to write with my brain injury because I could use what I already knew. Plus, I read Star Wars novels as a kid and dreamed of being a Storm Trooper. I like the idea of a future where anything is possible for those who work hard enough…

Things have already gone wrong, bodies are piling up, and the action is intense. Because the ideas are flowing, I wanted to keep today’s blog short and to the point. I was recently interviewed by
