Here’s art of my sword and sorcery character Alani of Kedem. Her first big adventure, Citadel of Swords, will be coming out probably early next year.

Art by James Anthony, @ shelobslairofdrawing on IG! He’s providing 17-20 pieces of art for this story!

My son is obsessed with General Grievous, one Star Wars character I’ve always been ambivalent about.

The other day he asked if George Washington could defeat Grievous in hand to hand combat.

As someone who literally celebrates Ben Burtt’s birthday, I can’t endorse this enough! We need a hashtag to make this happen!
In January, Blast Points will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary. Putting it into the universe that our dream is to have this King on. We’ll talk to him about literally anything.

Update: He dressed as Luke for Halloween. He even got to fight a “Sith” lady giving out candy at a house who had a red lightsabe.
All is going according to plan. My 8 yo and I watched the original trilogy a couple of weeks ago and now he’s getting obsessed with the Clone Wars cartoon.

My son is doing a Star Wars fan comic he titled “Lord of the Jedi Gods”, which I’m sorry, is the most awesome title ever.

LOVE Castle Rat. Not only the music and the aesthetic, but the 💯% commitment to the bit in-character as well

Makes me wish my “space-folk” band had committed to looking sci-fi beyond the one time we performed in clear vinyl rain-suits (over swimsuits) à la Blade Runner for a future-themed party

Audrey Stollings has a story in NESS#5 (at the printers now) which I fell in love with -- it has style for miles -- and I believe that's her first publication. I was terrifically glad to find out it's Audrey behind the stretch goal novelette.

This is exactly what I hope for from Brackenbury Books.

Yes, but only if we unlock our first stretch goal - a 17,000 word S&S novelette in the Acid Gothic tradition!

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.
