Pub Quiz Trivia


Some of you might know that I have been hosting a weekly Pub Quiz (along with Shannon Barnson from the Geek Show Podcast) for the last couple of years. I write forty questions a week and I didn't realize how much material I'd come up with until I put it all together. Writing trivia is a learned skill and I can definitely say that I've gotten better at it.

In my early days of the Pub Quiz, I looked high and low for resources I could go for trivia questions and no good options existed. Now an option does exist.

I've divided all of the Pub Quiz trivia questions I've written into 4 books of trivia questions now available for the Kindle and Nook.

The books are as follows:

Pub Quiz Trivia Volume 1 - History and Current Events (Kindle and Nook)
Pub Quiz Trivia Volume 2 - Wildcard Rounds (Kindle and Nook)
Pub Quiz Trivia Volume 3 - Geek Trivia (Kindle and Nook)
Pub Quiz Trivia Volume 4 - Film Trivia (Kindle and Nook)

I'll be compiling all four into one book soon and publishing a print and digital version soon.

I know not everyone is into Trivia, but if you are, these are a great resource.

As for a writing update: I've got another book coming up in the next week or two full of essays, editorials, and short stories I've written all about or inspired by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. I'm also hip deep in editing my next novel and gearing up to write another one.

Aside from all that, recording has begun on the Lost at the Con audio book!

Lots of great stuff is coming, I hope you guys stick around for the ride.

Hey, saw you on Reddit! You should take your trivia book and make it into a board game (or a video game)! Here's a useful website that I think might interest you.

There's a larger market for trivia board game than there is for trivia books, I believe.

The End of an Era and a New Beginning

It's been a long time coming, but I think an upgrade to my web presence was long overdue. I began this blog in 2005 and it's served me well over the last 13 years. My goal in those early days was to write a short story every month. Back then, that was the only writing I was doing. This website, then called "Bryan's Short Story Corner," got me into a regular writing habit. One that I still maintain today. I hoped it would help me get eyeballs on my words and, looking back at some of those early short stories, I shouldn't have wanted any of those eyeballs looking. Today, my Patreon fills that void. There is a dedicated group of supporters there that help subsidize my ability to write short stories on the regular. After I started publishing books, this blog morphed into a place to talk about my projects and writing and it worked well enough for that for a long time. But now I have Twitter and Medium for those functions and they have much cleaner and easi...

Anatomy of a Scene: All the President's Men

All the President's Men is one of those perfect movies. Based on a stunning true story with a brilliant screenplay from William Goldman (we've already gone through one of his scenes here with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ), it's a movie that brings all of the elements of character, plot, and drama together in a way that makes me really love and admire it.  The scene I want to go through is one that comes during a particularly trying time in the film. For those unaware, this film tells the tale of Woodward and Bernstein, the Washington Post reporters who cracked the Watergate story. And now, looking back on it, it all feels like one big victory, but it was marked by a number of defeats.  This is them reporting to their skeptical editor, Ben Bradlee (played brilliantly by Jason Robards) about where their investigation is at. Immediately preceding Woodward and Bernstein walking in, a salesman is trying to sell Bradlee on features his papers doe...
