New Projects – Part 2

As I indicated in the last post, I have recently finished a rough draft of a book I call Further Up, Further In, which is an invitation to move out of the shallows and into the deeper waters of our faith, to pursue a deeper walk with Christ. It’s an area of personal passion, and[…]

New Projects – Part 1

I would imagine most of those people – people, not bots looking for blogposts to attach inane comments to – who find my site do so because of one of my novels. It would make sense, then, that most of the people who read this post might think of me as a novelist, a fiction[…]

GHC Cincinnati ’17

I am just back from Cincinnati where I attended the GHC Midwest for the first time. Conventions like this can be grueling when you’re manning a booth on your own, but fortunately I had an opportunity to catch-up with three old friends who stopped by to help me pass the time at my booth. To each[…]

Cover for The Colder Moon

Now that I have cover art for The Colder Moon, I wanted to share it. As with The Darker Road and The Lesser Sun, the cover was designed by Daryle Beam of Bright Boy Designs and illustrated by his brother-in-law, Michael Salter. And, like those covers, I think it looks great.

New Interview

With the 3rd annual Realm Makers conference just around the corner – where I will once more be happy to serve on the faculty – I have a new interview posted at the webpage for the Faith and Fantasy Alliance. I have posted the link here for any who might want to go and read[…]

To Kill A Mockingbird

I know I haven’t posted anything ‘original’ in a while, but I am rereading To Kill A Mockingbird and just had to come here and say, it has been a long time since I first read it, but it is just as great as I remember it. It is hard for me to explain just[…]

Brock Eastman KickStarter Campaign

Last year I participated in a huge, multi-author scavenger hunt organized by fellow speculative fiction writer Brock Eastman. Brock has an ongoing KickStarter campaign that wraps up in about a week, so I wanted to post some information about it. Here it is: Sages of Darkness is an exciting action packed series about a demon[…]
