I just wanted to thank British book blogger Sandra Richardson for interviewing me and publishing the interview at her book blog, JeansBookReadNReview. <–Click there to learn about what makes this author tick! She also wrote a fabulous review of Canceled, here. It’s so exciting when these great reviews and requests [...]
The Great Facebook Ads Controversy
It all started when I submitted a Facebook ad for my popular thriller novel, CANCELED: The Story of America’s Least Wanted. The Facebook Ads Team was apparently taken aback by the image of a pregnant belly, despite the rampant Facebook ads showing scantily-clad women. Hi Michael Britton, Thanks for advertising [...]

- Mind Power by Michael D. Britton
Pin It Samsung recently offered a demo of a new interface that will allow users to interact with their devices via a mind link. I’ve been waiting a long time for the keyboard to finally be replaced by something better. It just seems so archaic to have to tap (or [...] - The Importance of Minions by Michael D. BrittonPin It i09 has a roundup of today of tales where the elimination of a single minion would’ve truly foiled the evil plot of the antagonist. I particularly like the Harry Potter, X-Men, and Voyager examples (there are actually MANY examples in Star Trek, if you think about it). My [...]
- Expanding the Range of the Mind by Michael D. BrittonPin It The much-anticipated film adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s awesome book, Ender’s Game, is set for release later this year. I am excited for this one! If you haven’t read the book, you really should. In brief, children fight aliens in a “video game;” but in reality, they are [...]
- The Alien Origins of Superheroes by Michael D. BrittonPin It We all know that Superman comes from another planet – Krypton. And the latest movie to chronicle the life of that superhero, Man of Steel, comes to theaters in just a few weeks. Should be a good flick. But what about other superheroes – do they come from [...]
- First Contact...and Cutting a Rug by Michael D. BrittonPin It 47 years ago last month, we made first contact with another planet for the first time. Well, by “we,” I mean, the Russians (but I really mean “we Earthlings”). Pretty cool. (Of course 47 is a great number when talking about First Contact.) Now…when are they going to [...]
- Dreaming About Your Taxes? by Michael D. BrittonPin It A team of dream experts called Dreams Cloud announced this week that Americans are more likely to have weird and troubling dreams leading up this Monday’s tax deadline. Dreams are so fascinating, aren’t they? Who doesn’t enjoy waking from a strange and involved one and telling someone all [...]
- Who Would've Thought? by Michael D. BrittonPin It Apparently, some people look to Twitter to provide predictions on things such as the U.S. economic “jobs report.” That’s a phenomenon that itself would’ve been hard for anyone to predict just seven short years ago (Twitter just turned seven last month). And it’s certainly not something that Nostradamus [...]
- Boogeymen Among the Books? by Michael D. BrittonPin It Just this month, paranormal investigators in Chattanooga, Tennessee, checked out a library to search for spooks and spirits that may be lurking amid the volumes. Maybe ghosts like to read. Who knows? I have no idea if they found any ectoplasmic entities, but it made me think of [...]
- Was Armstrong a Slave to the Race? by Michael D. BrittonPin It Last year, I became quite the cycling enthusiast. But I have to admit, I don’t follow sports at all (or news much, for that matter), so I haven’t kept up much with the Lance Armstrong scandal. All I know is he got busted for “doping” – resulting in [...]
- Life Under the Lash by Michael D. BrittonPin It A recent Forbes article discusses how China’s new president is working to reform the hundreds of forced-labor camps in that country. It’s hard to find a better illustration of tyranny than that of the government enslaving its people, making them work while restricting their freedom and confiscating the [...]
