The Right Word

It’s time for my Sunday Reflection, in which I post some of my thoughts on almost any issue connected to writing, faith or life in general. Have you ever been in a conversation where the person you were talking to started a sentence, then paused, seeming to search for not any word, but a particular[…]

Friday Fun – The Caption Game

It’s time for my Friday Fun post, in which I offer nothing more than perhaps an opportunity for some amusement. Today’s edition of “Friday Fun” involves the caption game. Simply post a comment with your suggestion for a caption to the following photo… Here’s my suggestion… “NO! Not Twilight again!” And you? Where would you[…]

A River Runs Through It

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending. Last week for my midweek recommendation I offered Ender’s Game for your reading enjoyment. This week, I’m going to break out of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi world and recommend A River Runs Through[…]

Serious Wounds

It’s time for my Sunday Reflection, in which I post some of my thoughts on almost any issue connected to writing, faith or life in general. We go to great lengths to minimize our view of sin – at least our view of our own sin. We rationalize, we excuse and we compare ourselves to[…]

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending. As I mentioned in my Sunday Reflection on ‘belonging,’ I am setting out to keep a more regular blog schedule. My plan is to do the following: Sunday – Post a[…]

Belonging

It’s time for my Sunday Reflection, in which I post some of my thoughts on almost any issue connected to writing, faith or life in general. As the week begins in which my 8th novel, The Darker Road prepares to release (it’s supposed to be available on Amazon as of Tuesday, August 6), I embark[…]

Merlin’s Blade

Almost six years ago I met Robert Treskillard. He contacted me because he was – at the time – an aspiring fantasy writer who lives here in St. Louis and had just heard about me. We got together and talked writing & publishing, and I heard all about his very cool, very different take on[…]

The Colder Moon

While I wait for the release of The Darker Road, the first book of my new fantasy series, The Wandering, I am trying to get book three of the series started in earnest. I’ve written much of the prologue, enough to register a full 2% of the projected length of the book. So, I thought[…]

12.12.12

I’ve said this elsewhere about posting on Leap Year, that if you blog at all, even if you are a horrible, completely negligent and irregular blogger like me, then you can’t let a day like today go by without posting something. Leap Year only comes once every four years, and while there are twelve years[…]
