• Howdy, y’all!

    This week I talk in depth about NC House Bill 2, called the “Bathroom Bill”, and how it is effecting local businesses and why a blanket boycott is a useless exercise and does WAY more harm than good. You’ll want to listen if you have been paying attention to this issue at all. I set a few things straight.

    I also talk about other things, including the latest HWA kerfuffle.

    Enjoy!

  • Hey there. Happy Friday. Y’all looking for a free Drabble?

    Then you have come to the right website!

    Not gonna shill anything this evening. If you want to know what new novels I have, or audiobooks, or podcast episodes, or whatever, then just click away at the menu above. It’s like a treasure map, but without the map and all that map stuff!

    Cartography, Calligraphy
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Cartography?” Millard asked. “How in the bloody hell will cartography help us survive this ordeal?”

    “Because proper penmanship is integral to spell creation,” Nardle replied. “And you can’t have spell casting without spell creation.”

    “You do realize cartography is about maps and calligraphy is about penmanship and such, right?” Millard asked.

    Nardle blinked.

    “What have you done?” Millard asked.

    “May I borrow your phone?” Nardle responded, avoiding the question. “I need to send a very important text.”

    It was already too late. Behind them a mountain began to grow, obliterating everything, and everyone in its path.

    “Oops?” Nardle said quietly.

  • Welcome back to more of my ramblings on being a pro writer! In this week’s episode my sleep-addled brain tries to explain how there are no shortcuts to success in the publishing biz. There just aren’t.

    I also go off about something, but I’m too tired to remember what that something is. You tell me.

    Enjoy!

  • The Party is back!

    Yes, FNDP has been missing from your eyeholes for a couple weeks. I had deadlines and then there was some time with the Fam for spring break. Life keeps moving, folks.

    But the mighty free micro-fiction has returned!

    Know what else has returned? Fighting Iron! But, this time it’s in audiobook form! You gotta hear this, y’all. The narrator did a fantastic job. If you’re in the mood for a far-future mech western, and I know you are, then this is the audiobook for you! Just click the pic and awaaaaaaay you go!

    Fighting Iron audiobbok

    Oh, and know what else is going on? My newsletter! Sign up if you haven’t already. I do not spam. I repeat, I do not spam. Spamming is way too much work. You’ll get a monthly newsletter and maybe some special announcements here and there. Maybe. Again, it’s a lot of work.

    Now, onto tonight’s Drabble!

    Enjoy!

    McDoogal’s Mech Oil
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the mechs at sea! We interrupt your evening’s entertainment for a special report. Hal? Are you there?”

    “I am here, Connor, and what a sight! I am standing on the Malibu shore. The sea is churning, the Army is setting up artillery, and all heck is about to break loose. If it wasn’t for the mechs, I don’t think we’d survive these giant monsters.”

    “Yes, indeed, Hal. Speaking of, I should remind our audience that tonight’s sponsor is McDoogal’s Mech Oil. The only oil trusted for America’s fifty-foot battle machines’ needs!”

  • After a brief hiatus, the podcast you love and adore is back! (You love and adore it. Don’t argue with me.)

    This week I talk about the impostor syndrome. Not the one where folks think they aren’t worthy of being a writer or artist, but the one where they FAKE thinking they aren’t worthy. It’s impostor impostor syndrome, if you will. And it’s crap! Knock it off!

    I also talk a little other things because it’s me and I ramble. I’m the rambling best!

    Enjoy!
