Today we discuss the entirety of Tales of the Bounty Hunters. What we liked, what we didn't like, and everything in between.
My guest for this episode is New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson, who is firing up a new Kickstarter (see URL below) today to reissue his outstanding Terra Incognita trilogy in special hardcover and bespoke editions. What does this have to do with my record collection? All three of Kevin's novels in the trilogy have a companion album of original progressive rock songs performed by an all-star cast, helping to bring the story to life. The "band" name is Roswell Six, and only two of the albums came out while the books were being released. The third album has finally been completed and may be the best of the bunch. In this first part of my interview with Kevin, he discusses how he became a fan of progressive and what we now call classic rock, the Terra Incognita kickstarter, how he brought his novel/album idea to fruition, why the third album wasn't originally made, how that eventually became a reality, and more. Part 2 will drop next week, in which Kevin discusses his love of Rush, collaborating with Neil Peart on the Clockwork Angels steampunk novels, his love for the Clockwork Angels album, and more.

Chicago, Illinois artist Mr. Cam Collins is a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest earning him a trip to Hollywood for a week-long master-class workshop, an awards event and his winning art will be published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 41. Cam Collins was born in 1999 in the city of Chicago, being raised by his parents whose first actions of fostering his creativity were by having a chalkboard wall in his room. The creative pursuits continued, and Collins knew early on that he'd want to draw for the rest of his life. He was one of the first few members to be selected for the College Arts Access Program (CAAP) of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago through high school, and went on to study Printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design. He gained a love for creating books, and realized a key ingredient to bring his illustrations further was to start writing stories in tandem with his illustrations. Collins continues to do commissions for a variety of clients, and has brought his art and storytelling into his own world called "Way of the Canvas". He will be working on this world for as long as he can draw, and has created comics, videos, and even games devoted to it. The Illustrators of the Future Contest judges include, Bob Eggleton (11 Chesley Awards and 7 Hugo Awards), Larry Elmore (Dungeons & Dragons book covers), Echo Chernik (graphic designs for major corporations including Celestial Seasonings tea packaging), Rob Prior (art for Spawn, Heavy Metal comics and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ciruelo (Eragon Coloring Book). The Writers of the Future Contest judges include, Tim Powers (author of On Stranger Tides), Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert (Dune prequel series), Robert J. Sawyer (The Oppenheimer Alternative), Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series, The Stormlight Archive), Larry Niven (Ringworld), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Nnedi Okorafor (Who Fears Death), Hugh Howey (Wool), and Katherine Kurtz (Deryni series) to name a few. Following the 1982 release of his internationally acclaimed bestselling science fiction novel, Battlefield Earth, written in celebration of 50 years as a professional writer, L. Ron Hubbard created the Writers of the Future (writersofthefuture.com) in 1983 to provide a means for aspiring writers of speculative fiction to get that much-needed break. Due to the success of the Writers of the Future Contest, the companion Illustrators of the Future Contest was inaugurated five years later. The Writers of the Future Award is the genre's most prestigious award of its kind and has now become the largest, most successful, and demonstrably most influential vehicle for budding creative talent in the world of speculative fiction. Since its inception, the Writers and Illustrators of the Future contests have produced 39 anthology volumes (with this event) and awarded upwards of $1 million in cash prizes and royalties. T.R. Naus emerged from a love of exploration. He grew up traveling across Europe, Asia, and the United States as a military brat and a soldier in the US Army, developing a passion for wandering, adventures, and intriguing stories. His journey led him to experience fascinating cultures and subcultures, where he learned from inspiring people, but with each new encounter, he wondered how evolving technology impacts how we see ourselves and the communities around us. He eventually settled in Virginia with his wife and two daughters and turned to speculative fiction to express those anxieties-and hopes-about our future. The Writers of the Future Contest judges include Tim Powers (author of On Stranger Tides), Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert (Dune prequel series), Robert J. Sawyer (The Oppenheimer Alternative), Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series, The Stormlight Archive), Larry Niven (Ringworld), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Nnedi Okorafor (Who Fears Death), Hugh Howey
Today we discuss The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett. This story shows us Boba Fett at several different points in his life: it sees him as a young man before his exile, chasing Han Solo during The Empire Strikes Back, his time at Jabba's Palace during Return of the Jedi, and a much older bounty hunter chasing Kardue'Sai'Malloc and then an older Han Solo.
How can you build a long-term author career with multiple streams of income? How can you use technology for the grunt work and not the fun part of writing? Kevin J Anderson gives his tips. In the intro, has TikTok gone dark? [AP]; BookVault is expanding printing to Australia; GPSR, the EU's new General Product […] The post Building A Long Term Author Business, Dictation, Kickstarter, and Short Story Collections With Kevin J Anderson first appeared on The Creative Penn.
Today we discuss Of Possible Futures: The Tale of Zuckuss and 4-LOM. Zuckuss and 4-LOM are after Han Solo. Unlike the other bounty hunters, rather than chase their query, they decide to head for the Rebellion's rendezvous point and capture him there. In order to be accepted by the Rebellion, they rescue some Rebel survivor's from the Battle of Hoth.
Nous étions au départ enthousiastes et puis nous avons été déçus ! Découvrez notre analyse et notre critique sans spoilers de la récente série Dune Prophecy avec Nicolas Allard, essayiste et spécialiste de Dune. Dune Prophecy, une série sans véritable magieTout avait bien commencé ! Après un premier épisode qui donnait envie de voir la série, Dune Prophecy de la plateforme HBO Max déçoit. Malgré une production design efficace avec des très belles séquences spatiales, la série ne convainc pas à cause de ses enjeux. Cette adaptation des romans de Brian Herbert et Kevin J. Anderson pêche par sa profondeur. Alors que Dune de Denis Villeneuve évoquait l'écologie, le messianisme religieux, le pouvoir avec profondeur, on se sent frustré par un scénario faussement tarabiscoté. Hébergé par Ausha.
