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[…]

Ender’s Game

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

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[…]

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[…]

Inside Story or Out of the Loop?

You hear stories from time to time of famous writers or famous composers – or whomever – and how some popular book or piece of theirs was something they personally didn’t like very much, or conversely, how some obscure, unpopular creation was their favorite even though it never took off. It makes me wonder if[…]
