Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.

Myself included.

Keep a weather eye on the Kindle Store.

This is just the tip of the iceberg......

It's on Chapter 3. Sadly, I still have to work for basic necessities, and don't have the luxury of a publisher's advance.

Patience, patience. :)

"Kepp a weather eye on the Kindle Store".

And how will we know, Mr. Valannin? We don't even know your real name.

Can't wait to read it, though.

Read your AudioQuest and Lost Symbol review... very funny. Ever think of going to the movies or doing book reviews on your blog? I think you'll garner a lot of attention. If you get enough hits, then you can start advertising. Maybe with that dough, you can use it to help write and market your book! If you want some help with the biz side, holla!

Well, I loved your review of the Dan Brown symbol book and was going to link to it elsewhere on Amazon. I suppose it will still work if I do but there will be some question among readers in the forum if Pantheon Outcast, which currently appears in your screen name on Amazon, is the title of the book you are writing. By attempting to call attention to your great review and post the link to it, I would inadvertently be calling attention to the fact that you are possibly almost nearly kinda but not really (yet) in violation of Amazon's rules (they don't allow book names in screen names). The only reason I am mentioning it because there isn't a book by that name yet so no harm no foul but I wanted to point it out for future reference in case that sort of thing is of interest to you.

Still waiting for news of your book. Rumor has it your fans are even more restless than George Martin's. I myself am thinking about creating my own blog: "Write the book, Valannin!"

Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol - An Amazon Review

Even though I haven't been updating this blog in, oh, two years, I figured I'd sign in and add this review I did for Dan Brown's latest "epic" novel, The Lost Symbol. I've actually read every book by Mr. Brown, simply because I, as a writer, wanted to get a glimpse inside the mind of a man who managed to sell 80 million copies of a book which, quite frankly, wasn't very good. I'm talking about The Da Vinci Code, which, despite being the furthest thing from "literature," was somewhat entertaining. So I downloaded the rest of his catalog and read them over the course of a few days. When I finished, I raised my hands in absolute puzzlement, and exclaimed, "Eh?" Quite simply, Brown is probably the richest, least talented author working today for reasons I cannot fathom. He, much like writer Dean Koontz, director Michael Bay, and rock band Nickelback, has simply released the exact same work over and over again, changing only the ti

Spotlight on: Anonymous Abu Ali Al-Muhammad Ibn Al-Rahman

The intent of starting this series of alcohol-fueled diatribes was to initiate some intellectual discussion, and for the most part, I've received those in the form of one-line comments ("you suck" or "you're a nutjob") or emails suggesting that I perform a reverse bowel movement with my keyboard. However, the one-man-furor over a recent post (resuting in 15 or so anonymous comments) has prompted me to respond with this article, rather than keep expanding the comment thread. If you'd like to read the entire exchange, point your clicky thingy here . In any case, here's my response to Mr. Anonymous (if that is in fact his real name) concerning the "achievements" of the Muslim world in both a modern and historical context: "What I find most interesting, despite your obvious verbosity, and penchant for intelligent discourse, is that you keep refering to these ancient scientists as "Arabic". If we are to use your terms, then yes,

The Tenth Crusade

In case you've been living with your head under the pillows, the past week or so has seen what this humble writer is declaring to be the end of Western Civilization as we know it. Cartoons published five months ago depicting the "prophet" Mohammed wearing a bomb as a turban has incited bloody, destructive riots throughout the civilized world by some very uncivlilzed people. "Islam is peaceful," the protestors claim, "and if you don't believe us, we'll burn down your cities." I'm already having the T-shirts made... Anyone with a keyboard and internet access has already commented on the atrocities of the Muslim world, and I see no reason to beat a dead camel with my own pontifications. Suffice it to say that 175 million people practice the "religion" of Islam, and those 175 million are the direct cause of the slow collapse of the last vestiges of the complex European empire. As birth rates in Europe continue to level out and even f
