The #Nintendo Family

Farewell Playstation (and XBOX, although you’ve been gone for a while now). Earlier today, my son informed me (as only a child can) that we are going to be a “Nintendo family” from now on. I’ve gotta admit, I’m gonna miss games like Destiny and Uncharted, but I’m also excited to get back to the games I grew

The Journal of Dalton James

What’s a young man supposed to do? The Legion threatened war today as the newly-formed Colonial Movement started announcing their own government. Ain’t no higher education in my future and I damn sure don’t plan on being a ditch digger like my daddy was. No sir, I signed on for military service with the Colonials

My Biggest Regret

OK, my biggest regret when it comes to writing. This isn’t some romance confessional here, and I’m proud to say that my life has turned out pretty much the best way it could have. I married the right woman, did it for the right reasons and we have two of the greatest kids you could ask

I’m Coming to YouTube!

Technically, I’m already there, but I’m actually investing time and effort into a brand new YouTube Channel that should debut sometime this August! Let’s face it, authors on YouTube are a dime a dozen, so I am hoping to make my channel a little different. Sure, there’ll be plenty of writing tips, but I won’t

Extreme Makeover (Author Edition)

I’m not sure about you guys and gals, but some of my older book covers are like bad yearbook photos. I mean, they seemed like a good idea at the time (just like tall hair or parachute pants). The thing is, not only has my writing improved over the past six years, but apparently my

Let’s Chat!

  johnmdavisbooks@gmail.com   I wanted to put everything on a single page, just in case you’d like to chat! No, I currently don’t do Facebook, Instagram or anything else. I’ve made a conscientious decision to stick with only two – it’s an effort to focus on writing, and not fall into the social media sinkhole

It’s Fantasy Time

I took the plunge. For the past few years, I’ve toyed with the idea of writing a fantasy book (or series). Well, after writing almost two chapters I’m proud to say that this story is going to be awesome! I mean, if fantasy is your thing. It’s certainly my thing. This is a story about some

125k Downloads and Counting

I’m often asked what Gunship is. Well, aside from being my first published work and the story that brought me to the dance (two best-sellers and a series total of 125k downloads and counting), Gunship is best described as a mash-up between science fiction, fantasy, western and pulp fiction. The first book is actually free and should

#Atari 2600 Revival!

So the Retron company is releasing this sweet console just in time for Christmas! OK, so not everyone will be as excited about this as I am, but this is a fantastic piece of information. First off, I’m old. There’s no denying it. I still remember video games cased in plastic cartridges that played with

My Advice to Aspiring Authors

I’m often asked how I’ve managed to stick around for the past six years. I’m going to be honest, writing full-time isn’t easy. As in, it’s no joke. Be that as it may, I’m going to lay out my own personal advice for the aspiring author. Understand why you write. If you’re doing it for

Wicked Dead Cover Reveal!

I’m happy to reveal the Wicked Dead cover! This baby is coming soon (it’s currently in the hands of my editor) and will be my first full-sized novel. Yes, the master of serial pulp fiction wrote a big one. It’ll be placed into the Kindle Scout program with fingers crossed. I’ll have plenty of details soon, folks!

XBOX ONE X: OFFICIAL REVIEW

First off, I gotta say it: this official console title is garbage. “Project Scorpio” was much better, and this falls more in line with “Wii U”. If you also take into consideration the fact that this game system looks very similar to the original XBOX ONE, I already see a lot of consumer confusion. Launching
