The weather here in my little swath of the Midwest is a bit bipolar lately. A couple of weeks ago it was subzero (keep in mind I live in Iowa, United States, so I use the Fahrenheit system of measurement) and then it climbed into the 50s. It then dipped back into the 30s and […]

I still have stories to tell
I often tell people I work a full time job and write on the side. Because, well, that is the absolute truth. The long and short of it is I just don’t know if I could sit at a computer and write all day EVERY day. I need the movement I get from the full […]
Seekers
My little abode is a little less brighter today. You see, yesterday I packed away all of the Christmas decorations. Down came the tree with its multitudes of decorations, all glittery and wonderfully themeless. Down came the stockings and garland. Down came the wreaths and all the tchotchkes. Most importantly, down came all of the […]
I should be writing
I often chide myself because I haven’t been writing much. I should be writing, I think as I twist yarn around the pegs of my knitting loom, working on a hat for a friend for Christmas. I should be writing, I think as I do the chores that have been neglected for days around my […]
Updates and what nots
It’s fall. It’s the first fall in my new abode and I am adapting. I am watching the first of the leaves fall through my office windows today while one of the cats naps in her bed on my desk. I am waiting on my old van to be done, since I finally am getting […]
Train – Sample Chapter of The Trickster
If you’ve read my blog, you know I have a serial novel The Magician…. or perhaps you don’t. Anyway, in one week it will release as a paperback novel over on the Zon. But you can also sit and read it here on the blog, or listen to a few chapters as audio files read […]
The Magician will be in paperback soon!
Magical friends, I have an announcement. Remember when I finished posting my serial novel The Magician here on this blog back in June? Well, in talking to some friends of mine who had not started to read it (because admittedly, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea to read fantasy as much as I would love […]
Family history becomes stories
If you follow my blog or any of my social media stuff, you’ll note that this past Saturday, I posted the final chapter of the serial novel I had been working on since November of 2022. The Magician is a twenty-five chapter urban fantasy serialization about an enslaved magician named Ignace Godding and a spirited […]
Sometimes, you just feel like throwing in the towel
Thursdays are usually my days for writing what I call my “sermon reflections.” Those blog posts, often filed under “church topics,” are my takes on the sermons that are preached at the little church I attend in my tiny swath of the Midwest. But this past Sunday, while I attended church, I was also feeling […]
April has been a crazy month… so far
I’m writing this as I have said goodbye to an out-of-town friend who has visited for the last few days. As I pack away the air mattress and wash the sheets and towels, there’s a certain sadness to saying goodbye. As I clean the kitchen, I know I will miss my friend until he plans […]
