Disclaimer: The author of this book contacted me via my WordPress site and requested a book review. I said sure, but I bought my own copy with my own hard-earned money. So there you go. Consider yourself informed. The official title of this book is, The Water Travelers: Heir of the Unknown. It's the first... Continue Reading →
The Chicago Fire Would Be On Fire If They Weren’t So Not On Fire
MojoFiction doesn't often report on the beautiful game. No, not Settlers of Catan, we were referring to soccer, or, for those of you still living in the past: Football That's Not American Football. MojoFiction lives in Chicagoland which, like Disneyland, is a magical place where management keeps raising the prices so a soda costs $9.95.... Continue Reading →

Whatever you do, don't Tweet this. Keep it secret, keep it safe.

Labyrinth (a book review)
Labyrinth, by author Kate Mosse, came out way back in 2005 (for you young people, that's Y2K+5). There had already been quite the rain of books about quests for the Holy Grail or Templar treasure and whatever "shocking" revelation about religion or history was about to be revealed. That probably wouldn't have been a big... Continue Reading →
Hope Solo Can Beat Me Up Anytime, and Other Water Cooler Musings
This may be just a little politically incorrect... Believe it or not, this all started at the water cooler. Water cooler talk is a time-honored American tradition, like paying women less than men for doing the same job, or telling your wife that you'd love to spend the day at the mall when, in fact,...

That Sinking Feeling (A Pre-Father’s-Day Tale of Manliness)
We here at MojoFiction are pretty manly, as you already know (because we keep telling you). So, last week, while we were a little bored, we toured our house looking for manly repairs to make, such as restocking our supply of Doritos, which were running low, and expertly replacing the toilet paper roll in the...

Invasion of the Bing Searches (in 3D)
Ever have one of those moments where you bring up Internet Explorer, type in a web address, and instead of taking you to the website it brings up a Bing search? You double-check your browser and see that, yes, you typed in the address correctly? Well, there must be something wrong with you because that has never... Continue Reading →
In Which We Fix Gov’t Transparency…
We here at MojoFiction recently decided to throw our hat into the presidential race. You probably saw the announcement on the popular cable news channel, C-SPAN 5 en Español. Anyway, with the NSA's advanced brain-scanning techniques (what, you didn't know? Don't worry, they already knew that you didn't know), we have decided that complete transparency is the only way to go until they... Continue Reading →
Life Itself (a book review)
I've been slowly reading Life Itself for months, one chapter at a time, usually late in the evening. I didn't take my time because the book is boring or confusing, or because it isn't compelling. I took my time because this book demands it. This trip down someone else's memory lane isn't for the trivia nut. It's... Continue Reading →
