Hello there! I started writing this while on my way back from being a part of the Realm Makers Expo in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For anyone who has been to a conference it's like being in another world—charged with a special kind of energy. At least till it ends. Then you find yourself back in... Continue Reading →
QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: IT’S A BIG WORLD AFTER ALL – PART 1
Hello there! Welcome to another Quest of Fire Friday! This is the first in a series in which I would like to share with you some extended details on some of the more recently revealed localities in Quest of Fire.

THE FIRST AND FINAL FRONTIER
Hello there! It has definitely been a bit. For those of you wondering to where I disappeared, it was to do some serious writing (while not pausing my family and work life). The first of the year I finished a sci-fi Christmas novella (yeah, that's not a typo, just ambitious and, um, unique project), titled... Continue Reading →
QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: REALM MAKERS
So, it’s been a couple weeks since my last post and it’s with good reason. Two weeks ago, I had my family vacation and attended the Realm Makers writers conference.

Back with Big News
It's been quite some time since I posted on here. It hasn't been for lack of interest. I wrote at least ten posts that have never made it onto here for varying reasons. Among the things keeping me busy, I've completed a contemporary, supernatural adventure novel titled All Their Guilty Stains. I'm hoping a publisher... Continue Reading →
My First Novel in Print…Sort of
Since this is my blog's first post, I guess it only makes sense to start off with something pretty special to commemorate the event. Recently I had the opportunity to get a proof copy of the novel I finished writing in February of this year. After two and a half years of work, the 15 page... Continue Reading →
