Hello there, Â Â Â Â Â Last week, I mentioned my heart has been heavy for some time because I feel a lot of pressure coming from different angles (click HERE to read that post).

QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: JOIN THE TEAM
Hello there! Today is a big day for the Quest of Fire series. I just finished reviewing the interior for the final entry in the series, titled The Unending Light. I'm 100% biased, but as I'm every bit on the journey through these stories as you are, for anyone who has been a fan of... Continue Reading →
Realm Makers Expo in Retrospect
Hello there! I started writing this while on my way back from being a part of the Realm Makers Expo in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

THE NEXT CHAPTER
Hello there! It's been a while since I posted for something that wasn't a Tomorrow's Edge Tuesday or a Quest of Fire Friday. Yesterday was something extra special.

QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: CULTURE AND AGRICULTURE
Hello there! It's been a bit.

These self-diagnoses... Continue Reading →

Some Lessons Learned From My Little One (Part 5)
     There have been a number of small moments with my little guy that have had a profound impact on me. My intention was to make a post summarizing each simultaneously. I thought I would break from my tendency to be wordy and try to be concise. Obviously I'm still a recovering word-aholic, because that hasn't happened... Continue Reading →
