Normally, we here at MojoFiction celebrate everything it means to be a guy in today’s “it’s a war on women” world, including (but not limited to), power tools, fatherhood, sports, being a good father while losing to your son at sports, and wondering aloud why the line is so long as Starbuck’s when all we want...

CHICAGO IN AUTUMN = FUN (probably)
Three blog entries for the price of two. 3 for 1 seemed a little generous, don’t you think? As always, we honor all competitor’s coupons, unless their blog is better than ours. Anyway, here's what has been going on in Chicago since nature ticked its calendar over to Fall. DA BULLS We here at MojoFiction... Continue Reading →
MojoFiction Presents: Erotica for Sports Fans (aka 69 Seconds for High-Sticking; aka 50 Yards of Play)
Jimmy Mongus sat silently in front of his locker, staring at the ball between his legs. He had lived his whole life in the shadow of his older brother Hugh, but now his time had come.

Maybe Alfred Hitchcock Was On To Something…
In completely true-story movie The Birds, the title creatures sit around minding their own business and then, just when you get comfortable, they attack you in droves, causing a lot of screaming and running around and it makes your vision turn black and white. Nowadays, with the threat of mass bird attacks mostly gone, America faces... Continue Reading →
TOM CLANCY’S SPLINTER CELL: BLACKLIST: AFTERMATH (a book review)
The staff here at MojoFiction picked this book up on a whim and we don’t remember why. Okay, we do, but we won’t bore you with the story about how we bought a different book but left it at home so we needed something else for the train so we bought this from the little shop... Continue Reading →
The Black Box (a book review)
We here at MojoFiction like a good mystery novel now and again. They are usually better than the procedural fare on television these days and, to be honest, we don’t think we could ever write one, so we’re constantly entertained by the likes of Jeffery Deaver, Robert Crais, and Michael Connelly. Unfortunately, we think that... Continue Reading →
Nature Trail of DOOM!
Weird Al Yankovic once recorded a song called "Nature Trail to Hell", a tune about a fictional movie about a group of Cub Scouts going for a hike who are terrorized by over-protective parents who think their kid clearly would have sold more popcorn if the neighbor's brat hadn’t gone to every house in the...

BREAKING NEWS – DON’T GO INTO THE OFFICE (we mean our office, not yours)
Okay, so we here at MojoFiction were going to post a blog entry explaining how we literally unlocked the secret to unlimited, clean automobile fuel, like, just 15 minutes ago, but then we stumbled on a major medical breakthrough that will allow us to live to 162 while looking and feeling like we're 30. But... Continue Reading →
Dog: Perro
I was born in the town of Pueblo in the great state of Colorado. My childhood house was on East 19th Street, though I can’t remember the exact address, so I’ll just assume it was the best house on the block. Across the street, a huge park ran the length of the block, with highway... Continue Reading →
A CHAIN OF THUNDER (a book review)
When reading a book about a subject as well-known as the Civil War, you often already know the outcome of the tale. That leaves it up to the author to find a way to keep the story fresh and hold the reader’s interest. Once again, author Jeff Shaara proves he can handle the pressure with... Continue Reading →
