WARRIOR WEEKEND INTERVIEW: Robert McCaw

JR HandleyHello Space Cadets! I’m doing well, with some big news coming down the pike. I’ll share more when I get the okay from some publishers, but until then I found another veteran I’d love to spotlight. You guys know that I’ve got a sweet spot for my fellow veterans, it’s why I run these series of interviews, despite a lack of genre congruence. While I don’t write this genre, I do read them so when I was asked to conduct this interview, I jumped to say yes! Continue reading “WARRIOR WEEKEND INTERVIEW: Robert McCaw”

Book Review: Infliction (Mech Wars Book 4)

Hey Space Cadets, how’re you all doing?  I hope you’ve sufficiently recovered from your cabin fever and winter doldrums?  Summer seems to finally be in the air, and in the south of the US of A that means asphyxiation by pollen! I managed to survive the dreaded yellow death and lived to tell about it.  I’ve got my new glasses and can finally read again, though I fought off the doctor’s recommendation of bifocals.  Now the intemperate weather has again made sane people hide from the seasons I’m back to the writing.  Continue reading “Book Review: Infliction (Mech Wars Book 4)”

Book Review: Stigers Tigers (Chronicles of an Imperial Legionary Officer Book 1)

 

Hey Space Cadets, here is the next installment in my series of book reviews. I’m just coming out of a reading slump. Lately, life has been chaotic, but now I’m back in the saddle and wanted to share what I just read! Audiobooks have become my friend as I take advantage of the gorgeous summer weather. I don’t normally review books outside of the science fiction genre, though I read plenty of them as well, this one was a military fantasy novel, so I felt like it fit with my brand. And let’s be real, I love nerding out over books! Plus, I know that the author has a new science fiction story coming out, so I wanted to see what Marc was working with! Continue reading “Book Review: Stigers Tigers (Chronicles of an Imperial Legionary Officer Book 1)”

Hello Space Cadets! Today, I wanted to introduce you to another author from my Warrior Weekend Interview Series, James S. Aaron. He’s the author of The Sentience Wars series, which takes place in M.D. Cooper’s Aeon 14 universe. With three books published, the five-book series will take readers from 2900 to 3200, as sentient AI break free of humanity.

Aside from the normal stuff writers do, he also plays with solar power and aquaponics, protects his seventeen chickens from hawks and his poop gobbling Corgi, and curses the deer who chow on his garden.
