Folks, I just broke down and bought this She-Ra/Swiftwind combo. I can't justify the purchase, but it'd be easier if I sold a few books today. So, if you've been on the fence about picking up The Maxus Cycle, today would be a fine day to give in!

Apparently it's a good book. Huh. Who knew?

Did Arnold’s Conan Create He-Man? Lawyer Reveals the Truth!
YouTube video by Conan the Barbarian Did Arnold’s Conan Create He-Man? Lawyer Reveals the Truth!

Ever wonder about the Conan-He-Man connection? Rumors have swirled for years, with plenty of falsehoods, hyperbole, and some accurate takes. This video, which happens to feature yours truly, does an excellent job of separating facts from fiction.

REVIEW: The Savage Sword of Conan #6 The Savage Sword of Conan #6 marks a strong conclusion to the black and white magazine’s first year at Titan Comics. The artwork was excellent throughout and action scenes abundant.

".. despite its impressive brevity Matthew John’s “Madness on the Mound” was the highlight of the issue."

😯😲😭❤️🤘💪⚔️

Thank you! I've not read that one by Atwood, actually, but I'll seek it out. My motivation was mainly that I wanted a solid adventure tale that encapsulated *my* love of genre fiction. So, I wrote a buddy cop/frienemies kind of caper with touches of Conan the Barbarian and Alien. It was a blast!

Hell yeah! I can now reveal that my story, A Simple Errand, has been selected for inclusion in Year's Best Canadian Fantasy & Science Fiction: Volume Three.

I finally get to be proud of myself in a Canadian context. And believe it or not, my story isn't about maple leaves, moose, nor apologies!

Since I started taking my writing craft seriously, one weird goal I've had is to find my work in a big brick and mortar shop. Today, I found SSOC 2 at Chapters. This somehow makes me feel more legit. Even though my contribution to this particular book is small, I feel it's also mighty.

Anyways ✅️

Nosferatu showed us vampire dong. 28 Years Later showed us zombie dong. Monster Squad informed us that Wolfman's got nards. @realgdt.bsky.social gonna drop them Franken-nuts on us, or what?

Hell yeah! Thank you! I don't think I can send voice memos on BlueSky. Link me another social account so I can forward it along to Arnold.

I watch this movie a few times per year. It's a modern genre masterpiece alongside Under the Skin, Mandy, and the Lighthouse. We're lucky to have this film. Book was good, too 😉

Pre-modern is key.

Sweet! That one and the next function independently but Black Wings, Bad Wine depends a bit on book one. If you want an e-pub or PDF of To Walk on Worlds, dm and I'll get you one for free 😉

If you send me proof of purchase, I'll DM you a personalized message from (an) Arnold Schwarzenegger (impersonator/me).

Shares appreciated 😉
