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.
I honestly don't know how some authors do it. It seems like they're everywhere all at once. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Goodreads, Pinterest, MySpace, Friendster, Arpanet, the Moon, and lurking around my basement. Social media icons litter their...
Anyone who has read my books, shorts, and blog is well aware that Douglas Adams is my favorite author. I celebrate the man's entire library, from the wildly popular Hitchhiker's series to the obscurely hilarious Last Chance to See. I even dedicated...
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...
Fantasy author Geoff Habiger has been on my reading radar ever since I first met him at the Albuquerque Comic Con several years ago. His writing style is quite unique within his genre, often pulling inspiration from unusual sources to create hybrid...
Did you ever think you would be unable to finish your first novel? Oh yes, which I imagine is a commonality with most debut authors. What is truly unique about the first novel is the lack of pressure. You have all the time in the world to finish it...
Ah, learning. Feels good on the noodle. (Not that noodle, get your head out of the gutter.) Like many of my curious brethren, whenever I tumble down the YouTube rabbit hole, it often starts or ends with a TED Talk. TED, which stands for...
Every author has uttered the phrase "I should be writing." We say it when we watch another episode of that tantalizing Netflix series. We say it when we browse YouTube for adorable cat videos. We say it when we reorganize the fridge, because...
