  • Book Review: Rise from Ruin

    Book Review: Rise from Ruin

    Melissa Olthoff’s Rise from Ruin is a book very reminiscent of Anne McCaffery’s Dragon Riders of Pern and Mercedes Lackey’s The Black Gryphon, in all the best ways. It’s a fast-paced book, with elements of romance, coming-of-age, military, fantasy, and even bits of scifi. It’s got a little bit of everything and enough relatable in…

  • Memorial Day

    Memorial Day

    Memorial Day is a time of remembrance, and as some have said, to be grateful for those who lived and gave the ultimate sacrifice that we might see a better day. I was fortunate on both my time in Afghanistan and in Iraq that the units I was with came back with everyone. Other units…

  • Andor Season 2 Review (non-Spoiler)

    Andor Season 2 Review (non-Spoiler)

    TLDR: Rushed, but still good. I quite enjoyed Andor season 1, in part because we didn’t have the caricatures and cardboard cutouts of characters. There were complicated figures and, frankly, some of those side characters stole the show. Season 2 comes in under a looming threat, and here I’m not talking about the Empire. I’m…

  • Kal’s February Update

    Kal’s February Update

    I generally try to stay positive on my social media posts. Sometimes there’s no pulling the punches, though. I figure brutal honesty is the best way to go with this. For me, there’s been a lot of stress. My wife was diagnosed with cancer the day after Christmas. There’s been a lot of waiting, we’re…

  • Kal’s Substack

    Some of you may have noticed… I have a substack going now as well. I thought, why not, it’s the trendy thing to do… right? Jokes aside, it gives me another platform to post on, and it allows me to separate some of my gaming / writing craft stuff from my posts here, which tend…

  • Marscon 2025

    Hey everyone, for those of you in the States, I hope you all are staying warm in the snowpocalypse of 2025! I just got home last night from Marscon. I had the opportunity to see old friends, to meet lots of new people, and to bask in the science fiction and fantasy culture. I wasn’t…

  • Kal’s January 2025 update

    Hey everyone, happy January. It’s 2025… I’ll still be over here dating everything 2019, don’t mind me. All joking aside, I’m pushing towards completion on several books. I’ve been hit pretty hard with a variety of bad news over the past few weeks, and I won’t lie, that’s had an impact on my writing. I’m…
