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. […]

Gentleness
Last week, Veteran’s Day was celebrated here in the United States. The Fruit of the Spirit that was examined in the little church I attend in my tiny swath of the Midwest was gentleness. There is a strange sort of juxtaposition between those two ideas. Veterans are those who once served in any branch of […]
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 […]
Finding God in the Strangest of Places
I seem to find God in the strangest of places. In the lyrics to a heavy metal song, poignancy touches my soul. In the sunrise after a week of bad weather, celestial splendor abounds. In the comments on a Facebook post, kindness drowns out the evil. In the quiet moments of a walk, clarity overcomes […]
Setbacks
This past week, I suffered a blow to the goals I had set up for the month of October. I had made plans to walk at least a mile every single day of the month and that goal has already been setback unintentionally. I came down with a head cold. It’s amazing how a simple […]
Don’t Let Anyone Steal Your Sparkle

The End
Some in the writing world are already aware of this about me, but not everyone is. Often, I write the ending of my books before I write much of the beginning. Sometimes, I do write other parts first. But more often than not, I have the ending finished before I have most of the book […]
You Matter
It’s just a small tag, the size of a business card with laminate that reaches out a fraction of an inch. But it’s a special tag as well. At the beginning of every school year, the tiny church I belong in this swath of the Midwest gives out the tags to students and anyone else […]
The Joy of Childhood
There’s a gumball machine at my workplace, one of the good old fashioned ones where each gumball just costs a quarter. Watching the glee on children’s faces as they clutch coins between their fingers and run towards it always makes me smile. The excitement of candy, the anticipation while trying to guess what color gumball […]
On the Road Again
The other half and I have ventured out on a road trip again. Miles upon miles of highway stretched out before us, flanked by farmland. Billboards advertising adult stores, religious messages and everything in between break up the monotony, along with truck stop and gas station signs that reach sky high. There’s also the visual […]
