My Mostly Harmless Musings

Me arriving at Wizard Word Philadelphia Comic Con

It’s Convention/Conference month. Last weekend I attended Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con where I finally got to meet Stan (the man) Lee—that rocked. I also got to see all 5 captains of the Star Trek franchise. Yes, this means I finally got the ever-elusive William Shatner autograph. And as with all good cons, there were costumes, costumes, and costumes.
This coming weekend I’ll be THE PREMIERE writing event in Philadelphia, a.k.a. the Philadelphia Writers’ Conference (June 8 -12). If you are attending, or visiting the area, be sure to look me up to say.

For your consideration (and hopefully enjoyment), my latest Science for Fiction (S4F) article: Go Kardashev not Kardashian for Your Science has been posted has been posted by Abandoned Towers Magazine.  I’m reasonably sure you don’t a Kardashian (i.e. those inhabiting planet Reality Television) to help you understand science or write fiction. So turn off E! and check out the article if you like Science and/or Science Fiction.



Speaking of Science, I’m happy to direct you this article by Steven Padnick for Tor.com, Phineas and Ferb is the Best Science Fiction on Television. Thanks Steven, my addiction to the show has been validated. 

In other writing news, I’m proud to announce Bill Delamar’s new novel, The Hidden Congregation, is now available. He is a member of Words-in-Progress, the writer’s group I lead. Yeah, yeah, I know it was a shameless plug for our group, but so what? Anyway, go pick up a copy and I’ll see what I can do about getting you an autograph.

Manhattan Projects Comic (like science? like comics? Read this)

In honor of Comics (Manhattan Projects #3), Science (Physicist Richard Feynman), and Fiction (Sorry, Feynman didn’t really say this, but it was in the comic) I present this quote:

“What am I guilty of?"

"An Intimate familiarity with the necessity of fiction. Truth is my wife, but lies are my mistress"

-Clavis Aurea (The recorded Feynman)



Me, Stan Lee, and Seth

I hope these guys have my back next week at the Writers' Conference. Those poets can get out of hand.

Guess Who
