Fun mail day: received the Scribe Award for BATMAN: REVOLUTION, which was named Best Original Novel - Speculative at San Diego this summer. I am further delighted that I finally figured out how to photograph it. (Black background, award literally sitting on your phone!) Find the book in stores now!

Mattel's handhelds led to Mattel's Intellivision; Intellivision's Utopia led to my obsession with Santa Paravia once I got my Apple ][; then Ultimas until the smart simulators arrived like President Elect and Earth Orbit Stations. Add a bunch of Civs and then the game that helped me quit my day job.

My best work has always resulted when I swing for the fences. I've just turned in the most ambitious novel I've ever written. Send for the repair crew -- and stay tuned!

This sea lion we saw at #DragonCon’s Georgia Aquarium night did a pretty good cosplay as Rodin’s “The Thinker.” If you’re thinking of what to do today at Dragon Con, it’s my day for signings — noon to 5 at the Sidestreet Book Market booth, 3201 in the Vendor Hall! Bucket of fish not included.

Thirteen years ago, I started work on STAR WARS: A NEW DAWN by getting suggestions and feedback from the REBELS producers Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman. Never got to meet or guve a copy of the final product to Greg, but finally took care of it at Dragon Con. Better late than never!

John Jackson Miller 🔜 NYCC Writer's Block Table 2 @farawaypress.com · 05/09/2026

My thanks to #DragonCon for hosting me and Joe Quinones as we took fans into the world of Batman ‘89 comics and novels today! Saturday I’m on the Star Trek/Star Wars panel at 1 in Marriott A706, signing from 3-5 at Sidestreet Books booth 3201; then the Star Wars Comics panel at 5:30 in Mart 203BC!

Made it through the storms to arrive at #DragonCon in time for the Old Republic panel! My thanks to the panelists and all who attended. A full day Friday, with signings at 11-1 and 5-7 at Sidestreet Book Market booth 3201 and panels on Iron Man at 2:30, Batman ‘89 at 4, and Military Sci Fi at 7!

Heading now to Dragon Con! I'm at Sidestreet Book Market Booth 3201 all four days, and have my first Comics Track panels ever, including a #Batman '89 event with Joe Quinones. Also ones on writing Iron Man and Star Wars and a fun dive into my #StarTrek/#StarWars research. Come on by! #dragoncon

John Jackson Miller 🔜 NYCC Writer's Block Table 2 @farawaypress.com · 03/09/2026

Racing to get ready for #DragonCon — find me at booth #3201 and many panels — but while there are a few minutes left, Gryph reminds me that today is the 12th anniversary of the release of #StarWars: A NEW DAWN from Random House Worlds. Huzzah!

Sorry to learn of the passing of Tim Curry. I always thought he was perfect as the deer-in-headlights RED OCTOBER officer that they wouldn't tell what was going on. Rest in peace.

Recently read DRAGNET: THE CASE OF THE COURTEOUS KILLER in its original 1958 Pocket Book form (surprisingly, an ebook exists). Richard Deming captures Jack Webb's patter pretty well, but here's a curiosity: he spells "mug shot" as "mugg shot" throughout. Was that spelling a thing?

John Jackson Miller 🔜 NYCC Writer's Block Table 2 @farawaypress.com · 18/08/2026

And here's where I'll be signing during @dragoncon.org! I have slots at Sidestreet Book Market all four days; they'll again be hosting Matt Dinniman for several sessions, so it's the place to be. Booth 3201 in the Vendor Hall, including a signing slot right after our Batman '89 event. See you there!

Thanks! I leave the fancasting to everyone else — all choices are valid. The @joequinones.bsky.social depiction of Riddler incorporates my input, so that’s how I’d see the general look.

Team Faraway capped off a great TerrifiCon by talking with Diedrich Bader about — what else? — the BEVERLY HILLBILLIES moviek in which he worked with both Lily Tomlin and Dabney Coleman. (Easy to forget that was sort of a Nine to Five reunion picture!) Very nice guy and a fun end to the convention!

I always find something I’ve never seen before at a con. Today at #Terrificon I discovered a lot of my Dark Horse Star Wars comics also came out in Hungarian, like KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC #9. Some overseas publishers sent us copies at the time or later, but I’m still discovering more! #starwars

John Jackson Miller 🔜 NYCC Writer's Block Table 2 @farawaypress.com · 07/08/2026

And we are underway at TerrifiCon! I’m at N5, just down the aisle past two of my favorite people in comics, legendary Elfquest creators Wendy and Richard Pini! Come see us all at #terrificon

Heading home from GalaxyCon Raleigh, one of my most successful conventions ever, with a great crowd for my presentation and not a single book left on the table.

Honored that BATMAN: REVOLUTION has received the Scribe Award for Best Media Tie-In Novel (Speculative Fiction) from the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers.

We‘re underway at #GalaxyConRaleigh! I‘ve at last met David Michelinie, legendary writer of Iron Man, Star Wars, and more. His “Demon in a Bottle” issue was my first Iron Man comic as a kid; his Star Wars work drew me back to collecting comics once and for all. I’m at booth 838; he’s at table 647.

John Jackson Miller 🔜 NYCC Writer's Block Table 2 @farawaypress.com · 23/07/2026

I've seen LOGAN'S RUN and HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER a combined zillion times, but only today on what would've been his 89th birthday did I realize the Richard Jordan who played Francis-7 is the same Richard Jordan who's the national security advisor. I'm that lousy a viewer and he's that good an actor!

70 years ago, Elvis Presley played a benefit at Russwood Park in Memphis — and my late mother, just out of high school, was an usher collecting for the Cynthia Milk Fund. She never forgot it but had no photos, so it was fun to find a page about the show. www.elvispresleymusic.com.au/pictures/195...

I'm at GalaxyCon Raleigh in a couple of weeks, so I won't be at San Diego — but a fun memory from there was 2013, when in advance of the KENOBI novel release I was inducted into The Rebel Legion in front of the big Del Rey display. Obi-Wan photobombed nearly every picture I have from that year!

John Jackson Miller 🔜 NYCC Writer's Block Table 2 @farawaypress.com · 07/07/2026

Pretty clear night at last here in Wisconsin — here’s the M8, the Lagoon Nebula. Feels like it should come with Patrick MacNee doing a voiceover about the Battlestar Galactica. #astronomy

My family always went to the Smoky Mountains over the July Fourth weekend, so this was me in front of a roadside X-Wing in a motel parking lot in Cherokee, North Carolina. Post-Empire, I'd guess. Not a perfect model, but less tacky than some of the roadside attractions back then! #starwars #july4th

My #StarWars THE LIVING FORCE novel set before Phantom Menace was a case where I realized early on what title I liked, and I was delighted that we got it. There had already been a novel called THE UNIFYING FORCE from James Luceno, but the title owed more to a different book, as I discuss.

John Jackson Miller 🔜 NYCC Writer's Block Table 2 @farawaypress.com · 01/07/2026

This was a very fun one for me: the story behind the title of my story for the #PlanetOfTheApes TALES FOR THE FORBIDDEN ZONE anthology. It remains one of my favorite stories I’ve written, drawing on my obsession with television history. Worth finding a copy! #writing

John Jackson Miller 🔜 NYCC Writer's Block Table 2 @farawaypress.com · 30/06/2026

Here’s some of the thinking that went into the title for BATMAN: RESURRECTION, my first novel set between the Tim Burton movies. I’m sure you have your own ideas that fit the “Batman Returns” pattern; on a hot day like today, “Batman Refrigerates” sounds good! #batman #batmanresurrection #writing

John Jackson Miller 🔜 NYCC Writer's Block Table 2 @farawaypress.com · 30/06/2026

The title for my first streaming-era novel, #StarTrek DISCOVERY: THE ENTERPRISE WAR, was a case where I landed on the right title, but for the wrong reason — a reason that would impact the cover choice. I explain my mistake here! #writing #startrekdiscovery #StrangeNewWorlds
