I’m currently working on yet another story in my Portals Series. This one is the story of an elemental magician by the name of Taylor who discovers he needs to come to the aid of one of his best friends in life while trying to figure out where his own place is since he rebels […]

Empathy is a sin
Apparently, having empathy and compassion are now sins, at least according to some of the algorithms of my various social media feeds. They have become buzz words embroiled in this political idea of “wokeness.” They are ideas that many seem to recoil from, given that they aren’t correct words to have in the political climate […]
Extraordinary in Joy
We live in a world where often joy is sucked away by others, even if we try hard to keep it. Gatekeepers shoo away any of those who want to be part of fandoms of all sorts because they aren’t “enough.” Unhappy people say snide comments meant to deflate the bubbles of elation. Look at […]
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 […]
Why can’t we all just get along?
America is known for being a place of freedoms. Look at the first amendment to the Constitution, where the freedom of speech, freedom of the presses, freedom to peacefully assemble, freedom to petition the government and freedom of religion are all protected, even valued as fundamental to the lives of the citizens.

It’s overwhelming at best, leaving me little time to recharge. I should tell you a story. But where should I begin? As I already have […]
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 […]
Continue the Race. Continue the story.
As I mentioned several weeks ago, the tiny church I attend in my little swath of the Midwest is working weekly on the fruits of the Spirit. This past Sunday, the fruit that was highlighted was faith. Faithfulness seems to be something I tend to struggle with at times and yet embrace all in the […]
Open our eyes
Sometimes, when we’re writing our own stories, we tend to make ourselves look smarter and bigger and better. We close our minds to the ways of the world, accepting only a exclusive story of what has happened to us. We throw wisdom to the wind, as it were. It’s natural for us to become absorbed […]
