One of the fun things about writing “Free Bird Rising” was getting to show readers what the city of Jacksonville, Florida looks like 200 years in the future. Naturally for me, sports were a huge part of that, so much so that I gave Jax its own Major League Baseball franchise. Enter the 8-time World […]

IJM previews the 2018 College Football opening weekend
I typically couldn’t care less about rankings this time of year. But, for the purposes of discussion (and because it’s fun), let’s take a gander at yesterday’s first AP Poll. Top 5 are as follows… Alabama Clemson Georgia Wisconsin Ohio State No real surprises there. The only cavoite I’d add is OSU at 5. If […]
IJM on country music and Cody Johnson
Happy Friday, folks! It really is great to see the pendulum that is country music trends swinging back in the direction of a classic sound. I’ve got nothing against hip hop or pop music, but I’m just not a fan of the hybrid stuff (i.e. Florida George Line). I get it. Lots are or it […]

PODCAST: IJM invades the Sci-Fi Shenanigans Podcast
Did an interview recently with the Sci-Fi Shenanigans Podcast that was a lot like taking a trip to the local buffet. For starters, we steer completely off the reservation in the first five minutes with a full-blown foodie discussion then roll tastefully through every topic imaginable from writing to geek stuff, and yes, even a […]
IJM weighs in on Solo: A Star Wars Story
Solo is the scruffy looking smuggler’s tale I hoped for when I entered the theater. The story is entertaining. The cast is solid from top to bottom, and the star did as well as anyone could’ve asked filling the shoes of an icon. I’ll admit, after the stink bomb that was The Last Jedi, I […]
