Maybe not highlights, but a look at various shows.
I’ve begun writing up some posts about various shows on Your Mom’s Basement. More will follow as shows air.
Also be sure to check out Theresa’s post on Tor.com about Heroes.
Check back regularly for new content on YMB.
People who know me know that I have a tremendous love of dirigibles. Here, then, care of Warren Ellis, is a page devoted to those of the Russian variety.
Pre-communist Russian Dirigibles
As most of you who read this know, I helped start a website called Your Mom’s Basement with my friends Ed and Pete some years back. The mandate of the site was to put up content related to geek culture – books, comics, movies, games, etc.
We hit a lull recently, mostly because just among the three of us there were two divorces and a marriage, not to mention numerous job changes and life occurences on the part of all our contributors. But we’re getting things back on track and releasing new content on a regular basis. In its current incarnation, the site will be a little less formal and a bit more like a blog and will, for the time being, consist mostly of content from the three founders.
I am starting a series (first part up now) on the fall television season.
I mention this just because I thought you might want to give it a look. And please feel free to comment about the articles or about anything on the message board.
And if you’re interested in writing something for us, please let me know. We don’t pay right now, but we can do our best to get your name out there.
I just finished revising three stories. One was the last story I wrote before Clarion West, one was my first story at Clarion West, and one was a story I wrote in my last week at Clarion West once I was done with all of my assignments. The nice thing is that I feel pretty good about all of these stories. I hope to be able to send them out soon.
I’m also working on a few new things as well.
Nothing like writing accomplishments to carry you through when the rest of your life is filled with fail.
Beth Wodzinski just contacted me to pass on the word that in honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day, today, September 19 (and only today, Sept. 19), Shimmer is offering the electronic version of their Pirate Issue FREE. Yes, that’s right – for $0. This issue has my first published story, “The Furies” in it.And it’s FREE. Seriously. Just download it. There’s some great stuff in there.
Did I mention it’s free?

Raining Fire, the third and final book in the Ben Gold series, was released on July 18, 2017. This book concludes the story begun in Falling Sky and Rising Tide. Publisher’s Weekly said, “Khanna wraps up his postapocalyptic adventure series with a capable page-turner…the airships, slavers, cannibalistic Ferals, and visceral action scenes make this a worthy culmination to the series.”
Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble now.
Rising Tide, the sequel to Falling Sky, was released on October 6, 2015. Publisher's Weekly said, "Khanna crafts a terrifyingly dismal picture of the future, raising the stakes by gradually stripping Ben of friends and support while throwing him into increasingly dire situations. His worldbuilding remains solid and unsettling, and he never loses sight of the human element. The cliffhanger ending is sure to leave readers on the edges of their seats, panting for resolution."
Falling Sky, my first novel, came out October 7, 2014 from Pyr. It's an adventure story set in a post-apocalyptic future with airships. Publisher's Weekly called it a "solid and memorable debut" while Library Journal gave it a starred review and named it Debut of the Month. For more information, please click here.
