William Hillbilly Roberts and crew are on the road today, headed for Colorado Springs and the Superstars writing conference taking place next week! It’s going to be a great event, and there will be a fair number of Ravens in attendance, too! On the way, they stopped to have a meal with the North Texas…

A New Year, New Books, and New Conventions!
(Well, that last part isn’t quite true, but it sounded good so I went with it.) We’re already two weeks into January, and the first convention has come and gone! Chattacon 49 went from January 12th to 14th and, according to William Joseph Roberts, it couldn’t have gone better. Ol’ Hillbilly served as Toastmaster for…

Are There Any Great Video Game Remakes Out There?
Twice in one week, Sid Meier’s Pirates! has come up in the Three Ravens Discord channel (Link here. Come join us!) along with Ghosts & Goblins and other old games from the NES era. More often than not, everyone in the channel is talking about tabletop and boardgames, so for me it’s a lot of…

The Best Sci-Fi is the One That Resonates
There are so many subgenres of sci-fi out there. Action-adventure, hard science, space opera, realistic space, military, mecha, historical, time travel, the list is seemingly endless. Whatever a writer can dream up that a reader would enjoy, it’s out there in some form or fashion. But what attracts a reader to a particular subgenre? What…

Do You Love Writers’ Conferences?
If you do and live near the Chicago area (or don’t mind flying or driving a bit), you can’t go wrong with the In the Trenches Writers’ Conference coming up in November! Lectures, workshops, pitch sessions, and the networking opportunities afforded to those who attend the “barcon” during the after-hours will all be worth the…

The Best Horror Stories Are…?
Supernatural. Psychological. Splatter. Comedic. Science gone wrong (Or right, depending on your perspective). Zombies. The kinds of horror stories out there in the shadowy wilds vary as much in content as they do in medium. While it’s not typically a genre that I go out of my way for, I’d be lying if I said…

What Are the Most Useful Superpowers?
Superhuman speed, strength, sensory perceptions, extrasensory perceptions, magical powers: the possibilities are seemingly endless in the world of superheroes. Whether we’re talking American comics or Japanese manga (and everything in-between), many of us are fascinated by heroes and antiheroes who don costumes and fight the good fight against larger-than-life supervillains and their hordes of henchmen.…

Do You Love Podcasts? Three Ravens on One of the Best to Talk Car Wars!
When working the day job, I alternate between what I listen to. If what I’m working on is a bit on the mindless side, I’ll listen to audio books or slushpile submissions. If I need to concentrate a little bit, I’ll tune into a podcast or some kind of interview/panel format discussion. And if I…
