The Vault VIP Club is home to exclusive fiction that readers won’t get on Amazon or even inside The Rebel Lore Vault’s storefront. The Mercenaries is only six episodes deep as I write this, and it may already be one of the best stories I’ve written. Yeah, I said it. I’ve written magical schools, collapsing…
Most people remember Glenn Jacobs as Kane—the terrifying masked enforcer who tore through WWE rings with fire, fury, and silence. What most people don’t realize is that the same guy went on to become a mayor, and one of the more philosophically consistent defenders of individual liberty in modern American politics. Not in theory, like…
My greatest writing advantage didn’t come from following the rules. It came from having the courage to break rules the gatekeepers set. If I followed the rules and wrote mass market fiction, chances are I’d have been lost in cyber dust. Writing to market may give authors the largest pool of prospective readers, but there’s…
The United States of America, the so-called leader of the free world, only cares about human rights abuses when it’s convenient for its interests. Ask the average American where Turkmenistan is. Go ahead. Try it. Most won’t know. Many won’t even hazard a guess. And that’s not because they’re stupid—it’s because they’ve never been given…
The U.S. military doesn’t fight for freedom. They carry out orders of mass murder, and yet the public “thanks them” for their “service.” “The U.S. military does absolutely nothing to fight for the freedom of Americans.” – Larken Rose That quote may sting. But think about it. The U.S. military has been involved in how…
Donald Trump’s deranged power plant day is a true abuse of power. But the rigged system allowed it to happen. And it doesn’t need to be this way. There’s a familiar argument that resurfaces whenever executive power starts to look unstable: the system will hold, the Constitution will restrain it, and the military has a…
Trump’s Iran War was never about liberation. Instead, the Trump administration used the 2026 Iranian uprising as a pretext to strike the Middle Eastern nation. Strip away the slogans, ignore the chants, and look at what’s actually happening. When you have a sitting president openly threatening to cripple an entire nation’s civilian infrastructure—power grids, bridges,…
The straight, simple take? Corporate fiction kills creativity. Hell, corporate-sanitized text destroys the creative mind. I used to write for a fan-driven sports and entertainment company. Ironically, that company hires freelancers, and freelancers outnumber full-timers 10 to 1. We couldn’t tell them what to do. Instead, we could recommend and say things like, “Our most…
If I had to write safe stories, I’d have left the writing craft a long time ago. In today’s world, we have a choice. So I didn’t sell out. Safe fiction plagues the market. While this “safe space” nonsense and “sensitivity” BS is backsliding, safety’s still king. But I’ll tell you this: the trend away…
Bad directors may have fueled my exit route, but the second I witnessed my old day job’s woke culture, I started clawing for a way out. Performative nonsense. That’s the vibe I got the last time I worked for a global corporation. DEI, ESG, and other initiatives that make these smug people talk about taking moral…
I’m a Rothbardian, but you would never know it if you read the earliest works in my Renegades Epic, which take a more Misesian approach. I’ve been cleaning up, polishing, and uploading my backlist to The Rebel Lore Vault, a store that bucks Amazon’s algorithms, doesn’t show you a thousand products on a single sales…
You don’t get an ideological storyteller everyday. And if you’ve been looking for one, you landed in the right piece of cyber space. Actually, you get a lot of ideological storytellers. Those stories are everywhere, and they’re not just in books. They’re present in movies, TV series, and even commercials. But here’s the skinny: they’re…
