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!*”

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”
Nearly There…
It’s real. There’s no denying it now. What started as a dream many years ago has become reality. To be honest, I never quite imagined that I would actually arrive at this point. But here I am regardless. My debut book is finished. The editing complete. The cover designed. It’s listed on Amazon,Continue reading “Nearly There…”
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…”
Writing Frenzy, Updates and Big News…
To say that the last few weeks have been a whirlwind would probably be a bit of an understatement and will also account for the fact that it has been a couple of weeks since my lost blog post. “The Girl in the Storm”, my perpetually forth coming debut novel is still very muchContinue reading “Writing Frenzy, Updates and Big News…”
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”
