Booktrope_logo_color-300x233If you’ve been watching this site for a little while, you already know that A Shadow in the Flames, my cyberpunk novel (and the first novel I ever wrote) was re-published under Seattle publisher Booktrope’s label last December. The new version featured slight improvements to the self-published ebook I released in June 2013, and a paperback edition! [Read more…]

“Liars, Guns & Money Part 1: A Not So Simple Plan”
****1/2  out of *****

“Bonnie and Clyde! Oh, no, forget about that one. It’s a bad ending.”

And now begins the first of Farscape’s second three-part episode, which begins with a quaint little heist and turns into—well, I’m getting ahead of myself. [Read more…]

Season 2, Episode 18:
“A Clockwork Nebari”
***1/2 out of *****

“It’s going to be more real THAN real. It’s going to be super-3D Smell-O-Vision in Sensurround!”

It’s our first new Nebari sighting since Chiana’s introduction, and now they’re swarming Moya, injecting people’s optic nerves with pacifying drugs, trying to take over the galaxy, and just plain making all of us terribly uncomfortable. [Read more…]

Farscape Rewatch: “The Ugly Truth” (spoilers)

February 4, 2015 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

farscape_sm14Season 2, Episode 17:
“The Ugly Truth”

**** out of *****

“We should just execute all of you. Then we could be sure the guilty party was punished.”

It’s been almost half a year since the last post in my Farscape Re-watch series, and part of the reason for that is that writing up this particular episode in a way that did it justice was a daunting task. I kept putting it off while working on other things (including writing and reading the Percy Jackson series for the first time) until the immediate memory of it wasn’t as fresh. I suppose that’s even fitting for this episode, come to think of it. [Read more…]

Norwescon 38: The Sci-Fi, The Fantasy, and Me!

January 27, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 5 Comments

That sounds like a parody of “The Rainbow Connection” from The Muppet Movie, doesn’t it?

Come see me being all professional and junk.

Come see me being all professional an’ junk.

Norwescon 38 is coming this April! For those of you who don’t know, it’s the Pacific Northwest’s premier science fiction and fantasy convention. What’s more, I’m going to be there as a professional-type-person! I’ll be reading from Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure, signing autographs, and serving on some of the conference panels.

I’m not entirely sure exactly which panels I’ll be on. That’s still being decided. What I can tell you is the reading will be at 1pm on Friday, April 3rd.

Oh, and George R.R. Martin will also be there, along with a bunch of exhibitors, awesome panels, and other professional weirdos just like me! That is, unless Martin slaughters us all. It could happen. The organizers have offered insurance.

It’s April 2nd through the 5th at the SeaTac Doubletree Hotel. Check out the Norwescon site for more conference information, grab some tickets, and come hang out with me and George R.R. Martin!

George R. R. Martin

He has no idea who I am!

Norwescon registration closes March 28th!
