I’m quite excited to note that Starclash, book 4 of my SF series Stealing the Sun is now available for pre-order at Amazon, iBooks, and Kobo. Here’s the fun blurb that accompanies it—which, coming from Mike, makes it another of those uber-cool moments. “STARCLASH proves once again that Ron Collins is a master of the […]

That’s right! Starflight, Book 1 of Stealing the Sun, is now available to actually read. Even better, Starburst, […]

This is very cool, eh? In celebration of the November 29th launch of Starflight, the first in my new five-book series, Skyfox Publishing has released an electronic version of the short story that started it all. “Stealing the Sun” is now available at most online vendors.

I’m a few days late dropping this, but I saw the Uncollected Anthology folks did a pretty cool little podcast with Mark-the-Kobo-guy (grin) a bit ago. As I noted before, (*) I’ll be their May issue guest, so I thought you might enjoy hearing the leaders of the band talk about it for a bit. […]
Read More ...The Donald: Is It All Just Reality TV?
Several friends of mine have made recent comments on Donald Trump, and I’ve had some thoughts on him in little bits and blurbs. I mean, how can you not, right? Right? The Donald is everywhere, doubling down and tripling down, and then quadrupling down over and over again. It’s almost like he’s just making this […]
