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 […]

Blessed are….

In my fantastical adventurous Portals Series, there is an enemy to magic. It is not dark magic, for even sorcery has a place in my fictionalized world of portals and realms even as some look down their nose at it. It is rather an ideal, an entity called evil. Evil is twisted, created from the […]

A story ended

I had started to write a post about my crazy weekend, but the words have fallen flat in light of something that weighs heavily on my heart. You see, another in my circle has been taken away. This was a friend and cheerleader, a wonderful old soul that may have been short in stature, but […]

It’s the end of another year

It’s the time of year where everyone shares their accomplishments for the year. And while this post will be no different in that regards, there is also a bit of reflection as well. I had several author and writing related goals I had jotted upon a piece of paper at the beginning of this year: And […]

I love to tell the story

“I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory / to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.” ~ Katherine Hankey “I Love to Tell the Story” (1866) Last night, on Christmas Eve, I sat as I usually do in the tiny church in my little swath of the […]

I didn’t know you wrote…..

So if you’ve been paying attention to some of my other social medias, you’d know I have published another book in my Portals Series. This one tells the story of the heirs of the Dynast, the Cleric, and the Portal Seeker, continuing the tales of Delphian, the Realm of Original Magic, and even Earth itself. […]

NaNoWriMo 2023

If you follow me over on any of my social medias (i.e. Instagram, Facebook, and Threads), you’d know I am participating in NaNoWriMo again this month. For those of you who DON’T know what NaNoWriMo is, there is a wonderful and informative podcast on the subject if you click here. Full disclaimer though – the […]
