Saturday Morning Coffee with Suvudu-2/28


You could say I have a sweet gig here at Suvudu– I get to spend my weekdays talking/planning/brainstorming with editors, writers, bloggers and technologists about all that is Suvudu. We have so much good stuff to get out on Suvudu that I find it difficult to find time to check out the posts on [...]

Trolls & Patrick Rothfuss


Trolls.
Trolls are everywhere.
Under bridges. Within walls. In sewers. And on the internet(s).
But the Internet troll is the most peculiar of the specie. This kind of troll is someone who posts controversial or inflammatory messages in an online community with the only intention of provoking other users into an emotional response. [...]

NYCC Panel: Writers On Writing


I know I keep touting the experience of attending a Comic Con.
I can’t help it, because there are so many wonderful facets to these events that I feel they should be covered.

“If I was a sculptor, but then again, no…”


My roommate’s little sister, who’s an art student at U Michigan, is staying on our futon for her spring break, and she was showing me some art blogs last night. There was one collection of sculptures I found particularly interesting. Artist Mari Kasurinen takes My Little Ponies and fits them with awesome ComicCon-type costumes.

Green Lantern Green Lit!


When I started collecting comic books I only bought three titles: Action Comics, Wolverine and Green Lantern.

She’s Almost Here (Free Fiction Alert)


Bestselling author Douglas Clegg made digital history a decade ago when his novel Naomi became the Internet’s first publisher-sponsored e-serial.
In that tradition, last year, Clegg made a deal with his fans: If they spread the word and got enough people to check out the free online version of his acclaimed novel Afterlife, he would reward [...]

A Signature Event


If you don’t know, the last Tuesday of every month is traditionally when new books are released (as opposed to the first Tuesday of the month for DVDs and CDs). Why Tuesday is anyone’s guess. I like to think it has something to do with the idea that books disclose the thoughts of [...]

His career spanned decades, his influence on the genre has and will stretch farther than that. Author Philip Jose Farmer, 91, died in his sleep this morning.

Video: Dan Simmons (02/18/09)


As I wrote two days ago HERE when I featured Subterranean Press, I am an avid Dan Simmons fan. Ever since Hyperion, the man simply doesn’t have a bad book in his sci-fi/fantasy work. And whenever he comes out with a new novel I buy it on release day.
Luckily, two years in a [...]
