Okay, so several years ago we here at MojoFiction thought it would be a good idea to cut cable T.V. We have not missed it one bit. Until last night. That’s when the hydra to our Hercules reared its multiple heads. And by hydra we mean NBC. And by Hercules we mean MojoFiction. What? That’s... Continue Reading →
An Apple a Day Will Give You U2
When it comes to our blog, MojoFiction isn't exactly a current events kind of guy. Except for that celebrity-nude-photos-in-the-cloud hacking scandal. We're keeping a close eye on that one (too close, according the district attorney). And now comes the Apple – U2 free-album scandal. Only in America could receiving free stuff be looked at with scorn. ... Continue Reading →
September Bells are Ringing
Ah, September. That magical time of year when Christmas decorations go up in department stores across America! The good folks at MojoFiction feel bad for atheists. They already don’t like Christmas, but now, thanks to certain stores that will remain nameless (for instance, we won’t say Macy’s), they have to deal with it starting in... Continue Reading →
The Black Dragon (Two short stories)
We here at MojoFiction must occasionally write some fiction. It just makes sense. So we've been doing just that while we took a long summer session of R&R and all of you out there had to work real jobs. Now available in eBook format on Amazon, MojoFiction presents The Black Dragon, a collection of two... Continue Reading →
DOG DAYS: ON BEING UNEMPLOYED IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER
We here at MojoFiction have been away for a while. We did not intend to be. But back in June we had just made a huge scientific discovery using our rarely-mentioned PhD in neuroscience from one of the nation's top schools that operates only on the internet and, for some reason, only accepts tuition payments...

Operation Shakespeare (a book review)
Officially, this book is sub-titled "The True Story of an Elite International Sting". Though calling it "Elite" might be pushing it a little far (Simon and Schuster's marketing department apparently thought they were not pushing it), Operation Shakespeare, by John Shiffman, nevertheless tells a fascinating tale of modern-day weapons and technology smuggling and the long, often bureaucratic game... Continue Reading →
The Yard (a book review)
First thing's first: this is not a book about gardening. So imagine my disappointment as I stood there with a trowel, plants, some fresh soil and zero sense of direction on what to do with it all. Oh, well. I was only disappointed for a moment because The Yard turned out to be fascinating crime... Continue Reading →
I Got Your Inspiring Blogger Right Here…
The crew here at MojoFiction opened up our personal email the other day and found out that the good folks at Bookish (bookishswint.wordpress.com/) had gone and done something consistently frowned upon in the free world: they nominated MojoFiction for one of those blogger awards. This is generally considered a bad idea, mostly by PETA and also the internet because... Continue Reading →
TRUMP VS. CHICAGO VS. MOJOFICTION
It’s a three-way battle for Midwest supremacy! As you know, MojoFiction has been trying to take over the tri-state area for years, but a strangely violent platypus keeps thwarting our plans. So we’ve left that job to someone else and set our sights on Chicago. Unfortunately, it looks like two giants are already duking it... Continue Reading →
Great Moments in Dad History – Minecraft Edition
Sometimes you create your own moments. Father's Day is arriving soon. Time for more Great Moments in Dad History. We here at MojoFiction have a competitive relationship with our nine-year-old son. This may have led to some bad behavior. For example: Sometimes our son gets up early in the morning just so he can hide out... Continue Reading →
