Hi! I'm Joe! I'm the editor/overlord of Point of Impact Publishing, heroic purveyors of trashy action fiction, including the Frenzi series by R. J. Calder, and Lash, by Clint Reno!

GATDAMN IT! *Opens document titled Slater: The Bloody Badge.*11 May 2026 23:39 +0000at://did:plc:2ukzn6kfoaxi6gcvd2ejfdbs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlmh3oa6as27https://bsky.app/profile/pointofimpactbooks.bsky.social/post/3mlmc7arq7s2qA lot of PoI books feature guns. Some might say we get a little gun-porny. I don't think it's weird that I like firearms, enjoy shooting firearms, and yet not have a want or need to own firearms. I think it's weird if you really can't live without your Glock by your side. Weird and dangerous. 🤨11 May 2026 22:12 +0000at://did:plc:2ukzn6kfoaxi6gcvd2ejfdbs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlmc7arq7s2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/pointofimpactbooks.bsky.social/post/3mljzhggj3c2fPay what you want? For adventure quality such as this?? Madness! Sheer madness! Do it now and get some of the most original Sword & Sorcery adventures out there. Pardon me...SNAKE and Sorcery is what I meant to say before I stuttered. Just do it! Now!

The day job has gotten to the busy, grueling part of the year and my brain hasn't been in the right headspace. But today something clicked. Wrote 1,000 words of Mercy 2 and researched the flashpoint of coal oil and Colt Walker conversions. Fun!10 May 2026 00:34 +0000at://did:plc:2ukzn6kfoaxi6gcvd2ejfdbs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlhj6qafss2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/pointofimpactbooks.bsky.social/post/3mleykroxmk22Fact: I am obsessed with the South Park 1998 PC/N64 game aesthetic to the the point that I am thinking about replicating it for an FPS game I have no business making. The game sucked, but the visual style was unmatched!09 May 2026 00:31 +0000at://did:plc:2ukzn6kfoaxi6gcvd2ejfdbs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mleykroxmk22https://bsky.app/profile/pointofimpactbooks.bsky.social/post/3mlerwvywas22We all have genres we struggle with as readers. Mine is horror. But I make it a point to try and read 1-2 horror novels a year because there are some great indie writers in that genre. I just started one that I should've read two years ago. I'm grateful books have no expiration dates!08 May 2026 22:32 +0000at://did:plc:2ukzn6kfoaxi6gcvd2ejfdbs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlerwvywas22https://bsky.app/profile/pointofimpactbooks.bsky.social/post/3mlerauoajs22True fact: When developing The Bartender series one potential idea had been for the lead to be a doorman in NYC who helped people who lived in the building. It would be called The Doorman. That was too limiting.

Good plot, good dialogue, enjoyable characters, but where's the action? Only two action scenes and both are handled in a dismissive manner. Reminded me of Vegas Vendetta. Lesser entry in the series for me.07 May 2026 13:18 +0000at://did:plc:2ukzn6kfoaxi6gcvd2ejfdbs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlbcihwdsk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/pointofimpactbooks.bsky.social/post/3ml7zvayiec2oThe Bullpen is quiet. The typewriters sullen in a moment of rest. A man surveys the slumbering kingdom and wonders: What dreams do these story machines hold? And when a man or woman unleashes their potential, will it be with Magnum gunshots and karate chops? He smiles. In the PoI Bullpen it will.07 May 2026 01:11 +0000at://did:plc:2ukzn6kfoaxi6gcvd2ejfdbs/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml7zvayiec2o
