The Novel Frontier Begins

Josh Robert Nay

A new short story, more content, more pages … it has been a very fruitful and busy couple of days. Accomplishments have been made with little or no setbacks, and I could not have been happier with the results … The Wild Wild Mind Anyone who had ever read my work knows I’m more of a psychological writer. Most of my writing, while it may not always be extremely deep, has much to do with the characters in their mind than their actions. I try to put a little mixture of both in so as not to make the stories

Winding Down to the End of July

Josh Robert Nay

Here’s a quick breakdown of my to-do list for July: I promised a short story for all the Western genre lovers out there. That is definitely forthcoming. In fact, I plan on having the story finished by the end of this week. I promised two new poems. Delivered! However, I will also be delivering more this week and next. I promised to have a rough draft of a novel. Delivered, although the actual rough draft is for my eyes only. The final draft is pending editor/publisher approval and changes, so it could be very different from the rough draft. I

Of Unicorns and Sunsets

Josh Robert Nay

A real quick announcement: A new fantasy poem is now viewable on Yahoo. I wrote the poem while remembering a sunset I saw as a child. I remembered how the dry tree in the front yard resembled a unicorn staring into the sun, and it became the symbolism within the poem. Check out the Poetry page on Josh Robert Nay Online for a link to the poem. Enjoy! 🙂

Ancient Egypt Mania!

Josh Robert Nay

Enter The Uninvited and the Curse, a short story told from the point of view of ancient pharaoh Khufu, for whom the Great Pyramid was built. The story was one of those I announced at the last minute but was quickly scooped up and published by Yahoo, especially for all you fans of ancient Egypt! In the story, Khufu is astounded when he realizes 5,000 years have passed since his death, and the story tells of his thoughts on this and gives a little fictional insight to his death. You can find a link to the short story on the

Blast From the Past … Our Immortal Gleam (and How to Go Mobile)

Josh Robert Nay

Way back in the beginning of June, I posted a poem entitled Our Immortal Gleam, a tribute to my recently deceased grandma. Today, that poem has been published and is now viewable online at Yahoo.com. The Title Catalog and all links on the website have been updated to reflect the URL of the new title. I hope you all enjoy it! Also, many people have been asking if Josh Robert Nay Online is or ever will be compatible with mobile devices. Actually, certain things are indeed compatible with mobile browsers. This blog, for instance. Also, every single piece of content

Seeds of the Future 3, Other Projects Forthcoming…

Josh Robert Nay

… though they might be a bit delayed, mainly due to the fact that, in addition to my impending move to the United Kingdom, I have also said good-bye for good to POD (print-on-demand) publishing. Instead, I have opted to expand my client base to more traditional publishing companies. For instance, I am currently working on a project for Tor, a fantasy novelette, the title of which I’m keeping under wraps for now (because I can). Tor is an amazing publisher with a very long tradition of publishing and marketing high quality work from a variety of writers, including Terry

My American Revolution Begins

Josh Robert Nay

My American Revolution is finally available for viewing to the public! The story, as I mentioned in a previous entry, is a tribute to American Revolution heroine Margaret Corbin, whose bravery should be an inspiration to us all. The short story details her bravery in the Battle of Fort Washington against the British and the Hessians during the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. As the first woman to fight for America in any war, the first woman to be paid by Congress as a soldier, and the first woman to be wounded in the war, Margaret’s struggles for

It’s not called the “4th of July,” America. It’s called “Independence Day.”

Josh Robert Nay

One thing that I find greatly disturbing about this time of year are the people who think of Independence Day as nothing more than just another holiday. Time to go have a barbecue, take a small vacation from work, or say “oooh” and “aaaah” while watching fireworks explode in the sky… It’s also a fact – most Americans call Independence Day simply “the 4th of July.” One has to wonder, now, just how long it will take until everyone forgets the meaning of this day, especially with our educational system the way it is. Independence Day, as it is and

Shifting Focus on Facebook

Josh Robert Nay

A quick announcement before I head off to dream land: my Facebook page is being given a facelift. I am in the process of removing all of the unnecessary photos, information, and links, but much of the work has already been done. I wanted to do as much as I could before getting back to work. I haven’t yet decided just what exactly I want to do with my Facebook yet. There are a few options to consider, such as using it as a photo album, a place to discuss my novels and upcoming works, and of course, a place

Of the Revolution and the Evil Panda

Josh Robert Nay

My new short story My American Revolution, which I wrote as a fictional tribute to Margaret Corbin, has been officially submitted to Yahoo! I have also posted a special announcement on my website for the short story, which can be viewed on the Short Story page. Margaret Corbin This brings my two week wrestle with the subject of the short story to an end in a way that I honestly could not have planned better. Margaret Corbin was the perfect topic for the piece, and I look forward to updating the website with the link once it is published. I
