It's about writing and doing good with the inspiration God gives me.
On October 31st, my novel, Day Moon, will have been in print for four years! More than that, we're now eighteen years from the opening pages of Day Moon. As it happens, one of the key characters, Lara Hopewell, was eighteen in that book and would have recently been born. I thought to commemorate that... Continue Reading →
I hope the start to this new year finds you well and enjoying a marked improvement to last year. It feels strange to think that the second book in my Tomorrow's Edge series has been out for about a year now. In some ways I feel like I failed this book. It released right on... Continue Reading →

As is the case for the past couple years, my epiphany has to do with my little one. Most mornings there's a certain amount of frenetic energy.... Continue Reading →
