“OMG, you’re a writer, really?” Well, I’d like to think so – monetizing a creative hobby has real ‘late stage capitalist dystopia’ vibes but, whatever. I’ve got bills to pay and cats to feed. Here’s more about my stupid scifi stories:
Audio Books
Short Stories
New! | World War Four – What kind of stupid idea is that: robocalls starting World War Four? What happened to World War Three? Why is there only one human left alive – that doesn’t make any sense! AIs and machine learning could never destroy the world – that’s impossible!

New! | Conspiraco – How dumb do you have to be to take a utopia and try to tear it down?? I can’t believe there’s an actual government agency devoted to creating fake conspiracy theories just so mouth-breathing waterheads stop trying to destroy the domestic tranquility. Worst idea, ever!

Necktie Party – Oh yeah, right – neurolink tuple-processing re-writes the history of a failed small town in the Deep South and precipitates a terrorist attack on America – gimme a break. Then there’s this group of soaking wet townspeople trying to kill the guy who was trying to save him. What does that old retired sheriff think he’s doing, talking them out of murder? Is it simple mob justice or is there something else to the story? Go back to watching Matlock, that rope will never kill anyone.

Call of the Void – Okay, so like – what? Kids jailbreak VR systems as a new form of extreme sports? Some of them get so deep inside the system that they can commit suicide and then there are other kids who go in after them? That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard of – nobody’s gonna jailbreak a video game system!

The Conquered – Yeah, yeah, yeah – humanity’s conquered by an alien race somewhere in the metaverse. Their experiments in quantum computing led to pollution and the death of millions of other beings in another dimensions, somehow that’s their problem? Now these other humanoids want to see if there’s something they can do to help – perfect. I saw that on Twilight Zone … or was it Twilight?

The Rocket – OMG, so ridiculous – this would NEVER HAPPEN in real life. Dad’s ghosting their kids, refusing to believe that a comet is going to destroy Earth? Misinformation. Kids don’t have to talk their parents into doing things, that’s just crazy talk. Old people are always the smartest, wisest people in the room – this is completely unrealistic.

Foreverest – Don’t make me laugh – the bed that eats people? That’s be a joke, right? How could nanotech be re-engineered into a murder weapon, that’s never supposed to happen. And nobody tries to steal money from lottery winners – they just go off and live happily ever after! Total rip-off, nanotech is the wave of the future.

The Battle of Victoria Crater – Whoever heard of a South African warlord retiring in peace to Mars? Nobody, that’s who. Guys like Elon Musk won’t try to take over Mars – he says he cares about the future, don’t you read? People who go to Mars aren’t going to be exploited or left to starve on the Mars surface – that’ll never happen!

“Okay, so like – why should I buy a stupid story from Jackson?” I dunno, it’s just a dumb dream I have, living as a self-sufficient scifi author who uses his success to help others. What can I tell you – I think writing is what I want to do for the rest of my life and maybe we can undo all the stuff we hate about mainstream scifi. Crazy, right? So yeah, it’s a stupid story … accept it, or not – I’m not your Dad. Here’s my writing partner:
“Ooh, a cat – I’ve never seen one of those before.”
