I'm celebrating #CarlBarks' 125th birthday today with another spotlight on a favorite Duck story of mine. Join me at the party through the link. 13thdimension.com/the-twenty-fou…

For the 1st time, #BeckyBooks has ads from fellow #pulp publishers I think #DCJones fans will find interesting. It's an effort to bring the community together to share our love of adventure fiction, so check out their ads, and then check out their books! amazon.com/D-C-Jones-Adve…

A sneak-peek at the newly revised Roll Call for #DCJones Vol. 5! Order a copy today, available in print and ebook editions! #BeckyBooks #pulp #AmWriting #AmSelfPublishing amazon.com/D-C-Jones-Adve…

I have a theory as to one of the reasons why #writers don't get much feedback and reviews on our books: Everyone's #TBR piles are too big. If you think about it, you'll realize I'm probably right.

MONDAYS ARE NOT FOR SISSIES! You need the all-new #DCJONES AND #ADVENTURECOMMAND 5 at your side to get through the danger! The novel is now LIVE ON AMAZON and ready for adventure! #BeckyBooks #AmSelfPublishing amazon.com/dp/B09HN9JRCM

Come Hell or sub-zero temps, I'm officially re-opening my upstairs on April 1st and re-establishing my writing space there. This is an annual thing. Heat does not make it to the second floor of my house, so I don't use it in the winter months.

There should be no mystery about what John and I think about "The Mysterious Planet," because it's all there to be heard in the latest episode of @doctorsbeardpod.bsky.social. Delve into the link below, no trial and error about it. #DoctorWho podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/obj…

Hang tight, #BeckyBooks Boosters! #DCJones will be SPRINGing at you soon with his new adventures! (See what I did there? Of course you did.)

Any day you get to write about one of your favorite #CarlBarks stories is a good one. #UncleScrooge #DonaldDuck #WaltDisney #DellComics

Work on the #DCCOMICSPRESENTS project has been sporadic since I got back from #DisneyWorld, but I'm trying to get back on a more consistent schedule. This morning's issue was #37, an atypical adventure with some interesting details. #DCComics #Superman #JimStarlin #RoyThomas

While @Doctors_Beard echoes the 18-month hiatus of #DoctorWho back in 1985 with our regular show, we're sharing a Patreon-exclusive episode until we return with our coverage of "The Trial of a #TimeLord." #Sontarans #DoctorInDistress Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cri…

My newest #RetroFan Magazine article (classic #Disney #darkrides) can now be previewed and ordered off the @#TwoMorrow's website. twomorrows.com/index.php?main…

#DCJONES AND #ADVENTURECOMMAND 5 will excite and entertain fans of action and adventure with high-octane storytelling and explosive conclusions! Be prepared to feel every punch the team takes in their most exciting and dangerous mission yet! COMING LATER THIS MONTH! #BeckyBooks

We are SO close to revealing the cover to #DCJones Vol. 5, but in the meantime we got a NEW review of Vol. 1! Check it out and then swarm Amazon in a buying frenzy! #BeckyBooks amazon.com/gp/customer-re…

@DavePrekup That's PulpFest in August.

@writerjimbeard Cool. Will John Bruening be there with the Guardian book he mentioned might be ready by October? (John is ok though?)

I'll be set up at this show with my books one week from today. It's a great production, reasonably priced. #Toledo #comicbooks #BeckyBooks #FlinchBooks #Superman #Batman #SpiderMan #Avengers fantasticon.online/toledo-2026-ev…

Once I'm out of the #DisneyBubble and back home, it should be just about time to drive #DCJones Vol. 5 over the finish line. I promise. #BeckyBooks

No one can ever tell me you can't spend an entire day at #AnimalKingdom. I was there for 10 hours & didn't even do everything that can be done. But I did have a full, happy time, and even rode a couple of rides twice. It was great returning to the park after 9 years. #DisneyWorld

@rossi_tg Yes, I'm a fan of very little of the modern takes, myself. I prefer a less-is-more approach. He should be the one character in all of comics that we know the least about...and absolutely nothing of his real name. Mystery is menace.

Great article! One thing that became clear to me is that many of these takes drift fairly far from the original concept. For example, that three Jokers idea and the latest one where he has been trained in a similar way to Batman. I think part of the problem has been making the Joker god-like, as a way to match with a god-like infallible Batman. To me, this starts with the Morrison Batman, that I actually rather like. The best recent take on the Joker, in my opinion, is the one in 'the man who stopped laughing' where we get a desperate, prone to mistakes, and actually funny Joker(s).

My new article on #TheJoker is now live on 13th Dimension. Enjoy. #Batman 13thdimension.com/whos-that-joke…
