Vintage Ads So Sexist, They’re Offensive The UK newspaper, The Telegraph, has a series of vintage advertisements that will take your breath away with their crude sexism. I look at them and think “but this was considered normal back then!” Holy cow, have we come a long way since. There’s still light years to go, […]

In Space, *Everything* Will Be Recycled Including your poop. According to NASA, the only way to off-set the costs and problems with hauling anything into space is through ruthless recycling of everything. On the space station, everything but feces is already cycled. Once you get over the jitters of consuming recycled human sweat and urine (and

The White-Haired Girl From Witcher… This is just one of about six teaser graphics I did for the release of High King of Britain, (you can find the rest here, by scrolling down the posts) and I was thrilled about this one in particular, because the model in the stock photo I used to build the

Why learning to buy books from anywhere is worth the hassle. I tripped over something rather interesting the other day. I’ve been saying for years now that, as a reader, it really pays to be flexible about where you buy your books. That you shouldn’t rely purely on Amazon, or Barnes & Noble, et al.

I’ve had a lot of emails and Facebook PMs asking me about the Facebook Live sessions, which I had let slide unnoticed over the horizon. Apparently, everyone misses them. So, to celebrate the launch of High King of Britain, I’ll hold a chat on Facebook tonight at 6pm MDT (timezone conversion here). There may even be

I haven’t made it very secret that my favourite heroes are Brody and Veris. That might leave you with the impression that I don’t care for any of the other heroes I’ve created, which isn’t true at all. But I did overlook one of them and took him for granted for a very long time. Lemme explain

It must be because I grew up hearing the stories about what Australian and New Zealand troops achieved (and died achieving) during the First and Second World Wars, that Anzac Day tends to register in my consciousness more than Remembrance Day ever does, even living here in North America. Plus, too, this year I have
