An update!

Hello, everyone.

It's been a while. Too long, maybe. But that's just the name of the game. I've been off doing and making things, working my hardest on my craft and creating new things for you to enjoy.

I've got stories coming up in more than a few anthologies, but the one I'm most proud of at the moment is the story I'll have in Apollo's Daughters.

There's a Kickstarter (still going on right now, video below) for a project called Athena's Daughters that Silence in the Library is putting together. It's a collection of sci-fi and fantasy stories, all with female protagonists, and all written by some of the best women writing in sci-fi and fantasy. Well, Apollo's Daughters was a stretch goal at the $24,000 level (which was blown through in 10 days). It's a collection of sci-fi and fantasy stories with all female protagonists written by some of the best men in the genre. I was asked to curate the authors and I'm proud to say I'll have a story next to the likes of guys like Michael Stackpole, Aaron Allston, David Alan Mack, Aaron Rosenberg, Neal Shaffer, and many others whose stories I just adore.


There's still 6 days to go on the project and I hope you jump in and snag a copy of both collections while they're available.

I'm still chugging along, full steam ahead, on the two documentaries I'm in post-production on, and I hope to get them out for you to see as soon as possible. They're both fascinating as can be.

I've also just finished writing a short film version of a feature film I hope to be making at some point. It's based on a short story that can be found in my collection of short stories Man Against the Future.

 There's plenty more brewing as well.

I also have good news to report! The manuscript for A Children's Illustrated History is done and the illustration is complete. So we'll be moving into the design phase shortly and we're on track to deliver on time!

If you're interested in any of the short stories I have coming out, check the "Complete List of Stories" link. There's titles and info on all the shorts that are coming down the pike.

One of them is coming for free in the new Silence in the Library eZine, so sign up for the newsletter over there to find out when. Another is coming free through Big Shiny Robot! so be sure to keep up with things over there as well.

The other thing I've been doing is keeping up my column at City Weekly. You can check out the archive of my pieces there.

On the Star Wars front, my podcast, Full of Sith , is about to hit its first anniversary, and my columns on StarWars.com  are still going strong. I've also had pieces appear in the last 4 issues of Star Wars Insider, the official magazine of Star Wars fandom.

There's plenty more coming, but this is a lot for now. Thanks for all your support of both myself and my writing over the years.

Salt Lake Comic Con 2017 Schedule

It's time for another year of Salt Lake Comic Con and another hectic schedule for me. But! that doesn't mean it's not a helluva lot of fun. I hope you're able to join me at any of these panels. Especially if you like Star Wars. And please, please, please come to my signing and visit. Get some books signed. I'd love that enormously. Here is my Thursday schedule: Everything here is a highlight. That first panel about behind the scenes of the prequels is with Pablo Hidalgo and I'll be asking him questions about what it was like to be there on set for most of the prequels. Then I'll be asking questions of Michael Biehn, who I've been a fan of since I was a little kid. Aliens and Terminator were favorites. If you want to ask him a question, please hit me up on Twitter with it. I will ask it at the panel. And you don't want to miss Fauxthentic History's Infinity Gauntlet live episode. It's going to be soooo good. Here is Friday: ...

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...
