Okay, so we here at MojoFiction are actually in the midst of writing our second novel and we hope to have it finished … some day. It’s the story of a Chicago girl trying to make her way in the world despite her tendency to get in her own way of doing so, including getting... Continue Reading →
Whisky Magazine Scores One for the Printed Word!
There has been a tennis match going on for some time now between those that think the printed word is dead and those who firmly believe that spending $50 - $200 on a gadget that gives you the privilege of spending more money on something to read is a little wacky.

In Which We Discover Time Travel While Simultaneously Disproving the Existence of Time and, Therefore, Proving that Men are Smarter than Women
Ever wonder why Doctor Who (the smartest guy in the universe) always has a female companion, but he never has a relationship with her? That's right, modesty. But let us explain. See, this whole thing really began when we accidentally discovered time travel. And, unlike Hot Tub Time Machine (or Doctor Who for that matter), this really... Continue Reading →
Emasculation Station: Should an Author Attend a Book Club Full of Pregnant Women?
So MojoFiction knows some people who know some people who have a book club. It’s an all-female book club and we happen to know one of the members and, in fact, sometimes get her husband in trouble when we do things like change their home computer's default web-browser page to … things we shouldn’t, and then...

But we took a serious hiatus from them a couple of years ago. The fantasy genre is as popular as ever, why would we do that? Well, either... Continue Reading →

And Now #2: We Have No Shame
A while back, we here at MojoFiction promised some good old-fashioned shameless self-promotion. We don't want to disappoint. Now that our debut novel is finally available everywhere it's going to get for the moment, we thought we'd take some time to offer up two brief excerpts. You may recall that the story is about a...

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 →
