Updating Theme

I’m in the midst of updating my main theme, so there’s going to be some pain and suffering (mostly on my end). Should be ironed out quickly.

Pass It On — The Fictorians

 While my blog was having mental issues, The Fictorians posted another blog article penned by yours truly. The article concerns passing on the good deeds that others did to help you with your career. If you have a bit of success, take the time to help others get up to the level you’re enjoying. People […]

WordPress Follies

 Had a bit of a problem with the website where I couldn’t log in because of the automatic update to the latest WordPress version. A bit of hacking here and there finally fixed the issue. If you find yourself locked out of the admin panel, send me a note on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/guyanthonydemarco) and I’ll give […]

Print is Dead?

 I’ve read several articles about how digital sales will eliminate dead-tree (print) format. Most of my author pals sell more digital downloads than print. I’m the exception, apparently. My print sales to digital sales are 4:1, where I will sell four print books for every digital download. Some months it goes much higher, such as my […]

New Guest Post at The Fictorians

 I have another guest post over on The Fictorians, a literary blog that has monthly themes. This month, the theme is what book inspired me to write. My answer is my first science fiction book called “The Space Ship Under the Apple Tree” by Louis Slobodkin.

On Using the Threat of Rape as Commentary

Janelle Asselin, one of my former editors at DC Comics, wrote an article for CBR critiquing the T&A aspects of the cover to the forthcoming Teen Titans #1. Some readers liked the article. Some didn’t. […]

Between the Interstice: On Lovecraft and Weird Fiction

 Guest post by author Mike Robinson   “Back then, with the visions, most of the time I was convinced I’d lost it. There were other times, though, where I thought I was mainlining the secret truth to the universe.”                                                                                                                                    — Rust Cohle, True Detective Behind the wide facade of Speculative Fiction twist the hedge-mazes […]

Respect

 I’m not one to post about controversial stuff. I avoid religion and political topics for the most part. But there’s something that’s been really bugging me today. There was a post over on ScienceFiction.com about an interview with Tracy Hickman at AnomalyCon. I’m sure it wasn’t purposeful, but the piece made Tracy appear to be […]

Western Writers of America

 I just signed a check and put it in an envelope. While I prefer to receive checks in the mail, this one is for my dues for the Western Writers of America. I applied for membership, and listed my short story sales, including ones with a Western theme. I was surprised how many of my […]
