2022 Reads — Books 21-25

I’m going through these a bit more slowly than I did last year. I limit myself to about two hours of work time a day, so that I’m not working while my kids are awake, which means that most of that time needs to go to actual writing and more concrete business matters. But these reviews and this blog are…

2022 Reads — Books 16-20

Things have been busy around here, as usual — I’ve been working away on revising the older books in my series, something I’ve been needing to do for a very long time. I may do a post about that sometime soon. And that’s on top of normal life, promotion, side jobs, and more! But in the meantime, I want to…

2022 Reads — Books 6-10

Because I’m only one person, and one person with quite a lot of things to do, blogging is taking a bit of a back seat lately. Certainly I’m taking a break from blogging regularly just for the sake of blogging, but I still intend to post either when I have a specific reason or have an idea for a post.…

2022 Reads — Books 1 – 5

New year, new reviews! Here I am to review the first five books I read last year. My total book count last year was 101 books, so it’s going to take quite awhile to get through them all, but it was a great year for reading and I’m excited to start sharing them with you! Without further ado, here are…

Darkness to Light

Every year, holidays come and go. Every year, people decorate their houses and yards for various of the holidays. And every year, I drive past hundreds and hundreds of these decked-out residences. And yet not until this year did this particular symbolic revelation occur to me. Are the relevant phenomena more pronounced this year — or is there something in…

Space… The Final Frontier

It’s no secret that my series Firmament is strongly inspired by Star Trek. My dad introduced my siblings and myself to The Original Series when I was in my early twenties, and I was hooked. I loved the characters, the fantastic scenarios, the opportunities for philosophical and political commentary. I didn’t, however, love the blatant immorality, frequent immodesty, or cringeworthy…
