When I recently asked for ideas of what to post on this blog, the response was unanimously in favor of Firmament posts, especially about the writing process or sneak peeks at the upcoming book. I’ve been pondering different ideas for things I could talk about, and I hope to get back on a consistent blogging schedule. Thinking about Firmament these…

Get In Late, Get Out Early
I just finished writing a short story I started writing almost a year ago. It wasn’t exactly a steady, continuous process, though. It started when I was doing some medical research for another story, and one particular process got my wheels turning, and I started writing. I got about three paragraphs in and there was a problem. I realized that…
Don’t Take My Word For It
As I mentioned a few days ago, Firmament: In His Image is featured on Homeschool Authors this week for the Read to Win program. As a part of that, I was asked to write a post about what readers have been saying about In His Image. Why not let them tell you why you should buy the book? In other…

All the World’s a Stage
And I am merely a player, playing many parts in a very short time indeed. I’ve been traveling, editing, finishing revisions on Firmament: Machiavellian, reading, doing housework, and living life, just to name a few. Thus it’s been rather difficult to get blog posts together. I have several guest posts in the works, will soon be making announcements, and am…
“Because I Kept Reading It.”
Reviews of my books always make my day, and Amazon reviews are especially precious because the more reviews a book has, the more likely it is to sell. Between that and the joy of hearing how God used my work to impact a reader… Yeah. I just really, really love reviews. So imagine my delight when I discovered yesterday that…
