Here I am, making my third post in a row about (…err…) RoW. And that’s okay. It isn’t as though I haven’t had anything else to talk about. In fact, there’s a whole list of things I want to talk about, including five books that I’ve finished in the last month or so. I’ve had…

Normally, I wouldn’t like having two of the “same type” of posts in a row on my blog (in this case, RoW80 updates), but I’m trying to be better about my weird little quirks and consistency, so I’m just going to suck it up and give you all my update. We’re only two days into…

It’s been so long since I’ve participated in RoW80 that I can’t even remember the last time I did. What I do remember was that it gave me a sense of drive, purpose, and, most importantly, community that really made me feel connected to the pulse of the indie author world. For a variety of…

It’s a brand new month, which means a brand new featured story from the 2015 World Unknown Review. This month, I bring you a quirky little bit of speculative fiction from the wonderful Luther M. Siler called “Nanos Khund and the Traveler.” I’ll hopefully have an interview with Luther cropping up here on the blog…

One of the best things about editing the World Unknown Review is meeting great new authors that might not have otherwise entered my radar, although they really should be there. S.L.

I am an extremely lucky person: the only time I ever really experience writer’s block is with this blog. More often than not, I just don’t have enough interesting ideas to share on a general scale. Oh, there’s plenty of story ideas in my head. Far too many, as a matter of fact. But those…

We’re heading into my favorite month (because it’s my birthday month!), which means we have a new Featured Story from the 2015 World Unknown Review. This time, we step into the aftermath of an apocalypse with the rather humble and fantastic S.L. Dixon in his story “The Grind.” The aftermath of massive, world-destroying events is…

One challenge that appears often in the lives and blogs of my fellow writers is the Story a Day challenge, which, as you might guess, is the challenge to write a story every day. It’s a fantastic idea; even if the story isn’t that good, you’re still writing, you’re still getting stuff out there, and…

Everyone always reflects on what they did and didn’t do in the previous year, what they plan to do in the next year around this time, and I’m no exception. I’m just spreading my reflections out like butter to help me keep a good pace with daily postings. Today, I’d like to look back at…

Making this announcement is a little tricky at the moment because I have a cat shoving his face into mine wanting to cuddle, but the word must be released! The 2015 World Unknown Review is now available and ready for your perusal and enjoyment! This year’s volume is really fantastic (although I suppose I’m a…
