It’s been noted that my stories tend to take on a feminist tone. And I won’t lie, that’s entirely on purpose. I’m flattered whenever readers point this out, as it’s one of the factors I long considered when I set out with the goal of becoming a published writer. Not that long ago, on aContinue reading “Yes, I’m a feminist author. Why aren’t you?”

A sneak peek from Chapter 1 – A River Red of “The Song of Shattered Grace” – coming May 30th
How fair the light that shines on us? The voice was a distant echo on the air, lilting on the fragile wings of an evening breeze. It was dusk and beside her feet she spied the dark waters of a river rushing past. The sky above was a smattering of grey amid the dying embers ofContinue reading “A sneak peek from Chapter 1 – A River Red of “The Song of Shattered Grace” – coming May 30th”
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?”
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…”
Doubt, or How I Slayed That Dragon, and Killed Some of My Darlings Too…
Well, I did it. I killed my darlings. There are still a few left, quite naturally, but the unwieldly beast that was the first draft of my novel, “The Girl in the Storm”, is now finally starting to come together. When it began it was probably close to 130K words, quite a feat no doubt,Continue reading “Doubt, or How I Slayed That Dragon, and Killed Some of My Darlings Too…”
Carefully Laid Plans, Or How They Don’t Really Matter in the End
Writing, at least in my experience, seems to have evolved along a few rather simple lines. First, I plan. Not extensively, mind you, but just enough so that I know where the story ends as well as a few of the big, crucial moments that mark the road along on the way. After that, IContinue reading “Carefully Laid Plans, Or How They Don’t Really Matter in the End”
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””
Why I Write
Whenever I think of myself as a writer it’s easy to fall back to a love of stories and storytelling as the reason why I have always dreamed of venturing down this path. But that reason, while true in some respect, doesn’t quite manage to hit the mark. My love of writing began when IContinue reading “Why I Write”
