Here's a fun little craft-y kinda thing from some of the staff at MojoFiction (okay, it was our administrative assistant [1]). Are you the kind of person with a couple of cute little offspring that the grandparents are constantly nagging you to bring around for a visit more often? Sure, you'd like to, but something always seems... Continue Reading →
A SENSE OF PLACE
Home is where you hang your hat. Home is where the heart is. Home, home on the range (or something like that). If you’ve perused any of MojoFiction’s blog or website pages, you might have realized that we love nature, specifically the great state of Colorado. We were born there and carry with us fond...

MojoFiction Presents: Free Stuff!
Laughter is the Best Medicine Placebo or not, MojoFiction believes entirely in the healing powers of laughter. At the very least, it makes people in the office wonder what you're up to. (We're assuming you work for Yahoo! and are, therefore, not laughing at home...) With that in mind, MojoFiction is pleased to announce our... Continue Reading →
VIDEO GAMES WILL KEEP US TOGETHER (EPIC TEXAS-SIZED FAMILY EDITION)
I have an older brother that serves in the United States Army. Naturally, I’m very proud of that fact. However, even more proud of that fact is, apparently, my very own son, who can’t get enough of his uncle and his uncle’s whole family. Last summer we flew to Texas to visit them at their...

NPR and Why Radio is Still Great (in case you didn’t know)
How It Was When MojoFiction was a young lad, our dad owned a serious piece of turntable hardware. Sometimes called a radio cabinet, it resembled a squat, wood buffet table, but with a player hidden inside, speakers concealed in both ends, and a slot next to the turntable for keeping a collection of vinyl records....

On Life’s Purpose…
“Look, I’m playing with the snow.” Back in 1984, David Vetter, known at the time as the bubble boy, died in the hospital sometime after a bone-marrow transplant his doctors hoped would finally give him the chance to leave his plastic hospital room and go out into the world. Unfortunately, the donor was not an... Continue Reading →
Ah, Children-ness (or, Darn You Doctor Who!)
Ah, kids. We here at MojoFiction like kids. We have one of our own. One of the great pleasures of parenting has been teaching our child to read. We started off with the basics, new versions of old stuff like the Dick and Jane stories ("See Spot eat all of Jane's ice cream while Dick points and laughs",... Continue Reading →
Encouraging Writing
We at MojoFiction are pretty new to this blogging thing. We've wanted to get to it for a while because sometimes it feels like our brain never stops until we have a long conversation about whatever it was we couldn't stop thinking about. This annoys our friends. Anyway, we finally got to it and our... Continue Reading →
Head Over Heels and This Year’s Oscar®-Nominated Animated Shorts
This seems like a reasonable inaguaral post. We are, after all, a blog about arts and entertainment...and probably books. We here at MojoFiction enjoy the art of animation, with the except of some Manga, which generally weirds us out. With that in mind, we took a special trip over the weekend to see the Oscar®...

The Book!
The Legend of Gerald Arthur McGuinness Does Santa Claus ride a Harley? Is it okay to post nude pictures of your friends all over town if you tell them it’s for a good cause? And just what is a placenta anyway? These are the hard questions Gerald Arthur McGuinness faces growing up in the small,... Continue Reading →
