MojoFiction's son is officially entering middle school. This brings a tear to our eye. A tear of joy, as the young man is that much closer to getting a job and spending his own money and not ours. But last Thursday was 6th grade orientation, a rite of passage for parents everywhere ever since school officials... Continue Reading →
I honestly planned on reading this book when it first came out, but it turns out I had a root canal that day (probably), and that sidetracked me. Nonetheless, here I am. Growing up, I was weaned on the humor writing on Dave Barry. When he retired, I wasn't sure I could find another writer so... Continue Reading →
First off, I've seen several books with a similar name – make sure you get the right one! Okay, so I’ve sorta been tuned in to the fantasy genre lately, party with books, but also because I watched The Shannara Chronicles on Netflix recently. So I went searching for something interesting and ran into Twisted... Continue Reading →
When we last left our intrepid heroes, they were scattered across the land, either betrayed, hunted by several armies, or both. Many unexpected losses occurred along the way. Few were yet aware of the ultimate plans of their enemies, or even who exactly their enemies were. I would now like to point out that everything... Continue Reading →
I've never read anything by Andrew Gross. I was skeptical prior to reading this book because the author had long been one of the multitude of co-writers associated with James Patterson. I was sure I was going to get a 350-page book with 350 individual chapters that came across as if the whole thing had... Continue Reading →
It's that time again, when I admit to reading comic books and I post a review. Probably a glowing review, because I still like comic books. Confession: Batman is the greatest comic book hero. Ever. There is no argument against this. Just stop it; you can't argue! What does this have to do with Batgirl?... Continue Reading →
If there's anything we here at MojoFiction know about American history, it's that it happened sometime prior to today, probably in the past, where times were simpler yet somehow harder, you had to walk uphill both ways, and the East India Company's new batch of Chai Tea was so overly spiced and undrinkable that a...

Okay, so I rail against long fantasy epics all the time, knowing full-well that I'll have to walk that back one day. Today is that day. I can already see my enemies at the gates, laughing and shouting "I told you so!" First, a definition: Long Fantasy Epic: Noun - Any story that takes 4... Continue Reading →
So, there was MojoFiction, a lone Stormtrooper standing atop an ice-encrusted rise on Hoth, surveying the battlefield below. Rebel scum relentlessly assaulted a relentless Imperial defense of an uplink station that could be used to call down Y-Wing bombers, probably relentlessly, to weaken the two AT-AT walkers that lumbered across the ravine in an effort...

Readers of MojoFiction know how we feel about the current genre of series-based international action-thrillers: But how does one define this genre? More importantly, how does MojoFiction define it (because, as you know, we are slightly off our rocker)? Stock good guys who could be played by anyone in Hollywood when the movie comes out?...
