Special Announcement In light of the senseless tragedy that occurred in Knoxville, Tennessee and the continued violence that too often mars our society and our schools, I would like to do whatever small part I can to assist those so deeply effected by these acts of cruelty. Beginning today, April 24th and continuing through MayContinue reading “*Announcement!*”

Lost in Shadows?
I’ve been away from the blog writing gig for a while now. And I do actually have a fairly decent excuse. Honestly, I do. I’ve been writing. Writing a lot, actually. And all that writing has resulted in a few notable things. I now have three *almost* published books to my name! Yes, that’s rightContinue reading “Lost in Shadows?”
Release Day! (and other things)
While the world goes collectively bonkers over election news (and that’s ALL I’ll say about that!), I have been busy celebrating the release of my debut novel, “The Girl in the Storm”! As I’m sure you’ve heard from me before, it’s been quite the wild ride and I have a feeling that ride is only just beginning. While I was stressingContinue reading “Release Day! (and other things)”
It All Starts Now
Make no mistake. It has been a while. I could blame it on pre-release anxiety as I prepare for the release of my debut novel, which is in two days, by the way. Or, I could blame it on the struggles I’ve had recently when it comes to wrapping up the last two chapters of my novella-in-progress.Continue reading “It All Starts Now”

So, it’s been a while…
So, it’s been a while. More than a while, if I’m being honest, but I do have a good reason. At least I believe that it’s a moderately decent reason. You may disagree. You may be thinking, “I actually didn’t mind not seeing his incessant little blog posts popping up every week!” Either way. HereContinue reading “So, it’s been a while…”
It All Starts Somewhere…
To say that things are moving along (and FAST!) would be a bit of an understatement at this point. The dream of bringing the story of Genevieve Reidell to life has taken another big leap forward this morning, and that’s part of the reason for this little missive. It’s official, I have a release date!Continue reading “It All Starts Somewhere…”
The Theology of “A Season of Angels”
When I sat down to spin the tale of Genevieve Reidell, I knew the trappings of the world that she would inhabit. I knew that it would look like our own in nearly every way. The singular event that serves as a backdrop to “The Girl in the Storm”, a school shooting, is an event thatContinue reading “The Theology of “A Season of Angels””
The Chapter That Wasn’t, “Give the Devil His Due” – The Girl in the Storm
His true name was rarely spoken, and in all the years that he had walked the Earth he gave to himself many other names instead. His oldest and most favored was that of Johnathon Haversham, for he fashioned it in honor of a village in the English countryside that he ravaged once upon a time.Continue reading “The Chapter That Wasn’t, “Give the Devil His Due” – The Girl in the Storm”
An Excerpt from The Girl in the Storm, Chapter 1: She Moves Through Shadow
She didn’t like the room, or the chair she sat on. The carpet beneath her feet was plain, a pale sort of blue designed neither to please nor upset, and yet her eyes were drawn toward it. Perhaps it was because of the clinical gaze fixed on her, the weight of that look recalling everythingContinue reading “An Excerpt from The Girl in the Storm, Chapter 1: She Moves Through Shadow”
