Welcome to the Zeedub Blog! I have a lot to say about all sorts of things, be them in the form of book reviews, interviews, or casual musings about the wonderful world of hummus. Disclaimer: my opinions are my own and they change over time, like a normal human being with a functioning cerebrial cortex.
What was the inspiration for your latest story? For Nimi: When First Contact Becomes Last Call, I took inspiration from several sci-fi classics like The War of the Worlds and The Day the Earth Stood Still. I am always looking for tropes to satirize...
What if your home wanted you dead? This is the question posed by Alyx: An AI's Guide to Love and Murder by Brent A. Harris. It's a sharp hook, one that forced me to narrow my gaze and glare at the thermostat. Harris is a talented author who writes...
"Prohibition. Gangsters. Vampires." That's the tagline for this series, which neatly summates what you're getting into as a reader. Unavoidable is book three of the Saul Imbierowicz series by SFF author team Geoff Habiger and Coy Kissee, a gripping...
I am a science fiction humor writer. As of this post, I am about to launch a new sci-fi comedy series. And while I am very excited to get it into the hands of readers, I am also dreading the inevitable backlash. This is because all humor suffers...

I have been in the publishing game for five years now, during which I have released six novels, four short stories, and two box sets. It's been a brutal learning experience, as self-publishing can be an unforgiving endeavor. After many trials and...
Now that the dumpster fire of 2020 is officially in the rearview, I have enjoyed an unexpected resurgence of motivation. I'm back in the writer's seat and plowing through edits on the latest novel. Back in the summer, I was finishing up the first...
The football world was recently shook by the death of Diego Maradona, one of the greatest players to ever play the game. He was so beloved by fans that his home country of Argentina went into three full days of mourning. Maradona and Pele dominated...
Anyone who has read works by Eric Michael Craig knows that he doesn't do restraint. His stories are sweeping sagas that span multiple interlocking series, each of which contains a large bank of titles. He's quickly becoming a hard sci-fi version of...
In a previous post, I outlined my decision to abandon Facebook (and why you should too). I cited numerous reasons, one of which was ownership, i.e. focusing on the marketing venues that I can actually control. In the online world, that amounts to...
I am fully aware that I will receive a lot of flack for this post, but it's one that I feel needs to be written. Most of my author friends are on Facebook. Hell, many of them have created their own communities on the platform and depend on it for...
