Review – The Forge of God

Posted on 2023-01-052023-01-05 by RB

The author Greg Bear, who recently passed away, has been on my radar for many years, but for some reason I can’t explain, I’ve never read any of his stories. Of course, I felt obligated to honor his memory by picking up one of his highly-regarded novels, The Forge of God. While it didn’t win…

Remaining Postive

Posted on 2021-04-202021-04-20 by RB

It’s not always easy to maintain a positive attitude. Life can throw curveballs at you, trip you up, leave you wondering what the hell just happened. We’ve all been there at some point.

Meeting Expectations

Posted on 2021-03-10 by RB

I recently finished watching WandaVision on Disney+ and was impressed by the entire production, especially the writing. I think the scribes did a great job of addressing Wanda’s grief, and each character was fleshed out enough to allow me to understand their motivations and wants. Once the final post-credit scene faded, I started thinking about…

No Podcast This Week

Posted on 2019-11-04 by RB

I’m taking a little time to work on some other projects, so I won’t be recording or publishing a podcast episode this week. There will be new content coming soon, both for the website and the podcast, and I hope (crosses fingers) that my short story collection will be published in the next week or…
