Playing with Fire!…er…that is…Video!

Published by JRVogt

While I don’t blog as often as I used to, I have been spending some more time out and about at conferences and conventions, connecting with other readers and writers more one-on-one, talking on panels, and giving other presentations. I’m a bit of a muddle when it comes to the…

Want guest posts, author interviews, or review copies? Double-down on some fantasy novel fun!

Published by JRVogt

2015 is what I’m referring to as my “debut year.” I’ve got the most horrible problem of having two whole books being released, not just one. In this corner, we have a sword-and-sorcery adventure tale focusing on a female dwarven barbarian with severe anger issues and highly dysfunctional relationships. In…

After hearing about it from friends and peers over the past several years, this was the first time I had the chance to attend the SuperStars Writing Seminar, held in Colorado Springs, CO.

In the future, one corporation will rise up and consume the others into a hulking monstrosity.

Published by JRVogt

In what I hope will prove to be a fun ongoing experiment, I now have two novellas published through the Kindle Worlds platform on Amazon.

It’s always a good sign when I close a book with a giggle. Enter the Janitor by Josh Vogt is a humorous contemporary fantasy that goes places and meets creatures you won’t expect and haven’t seen before. His protagonists are definitely not your standard fantasy heroes, nor their cause the usual fight between Good and Evil. Just when you think you’ve figured out the world, it twists again, landing you in a new place with new perils. Clever, well-written and a bunch of fun.~Jody Lynn Nye, bestselling fantasy and science fiction author
