Today I released the ninth Firmament book, Intoxication, and with this release I have reached two important milestones: 1. I’ve made it to the halfway point of my eighteen-book series, and 2. I’ve released two Firmament books in a single calendar year, which I’ve been intending to do for over a decade but have never managed until now. Both are…
Today I have the privilege of interviewing Rachel Newhouse, a fellow YA Christian sci-fi author! Rachel and I released the first books in our respective series’ around the same time over a decade ago, and we are both currently working on revamping our series’. I’ve been able to test read her books and have enjoyed them immensely. If you like…
Imagine a small old west town on the outskirts of civilization. The settlers have been plagued by conflict with the natives, so the government sends a U.S. Marshall to help settle disputes and keep the peace. Shortly after this Marshall arrives, a railroad line comes through town, bringing all kinds of new commerce and tourist opportunities to the small town.…
I talked about expectations a few days ago, and just over the weekend I’ve come upon a situation where I got to put my preaching into practice. Let me back up for a second. In case you don’t recognize the quote in this post’s title, it’s from a pretty fantastic movie called Eight Below. In it, a man determined to…
Someone in a Facebook group for clean indie authors that I’m part of asked an interesting question earlier–how long do you wait after writing something to edit it? The answers were as varied as “ten seconds” and “several years” with any number of months and weeks in between. It reaffirmed what I already know–that the methods that work for each…
Yesterday I interviewed Sarah Holman with regards to her book in the Vintage Jane Austen series. What is that series, exactly? Well… What would it be like to see Elizabeth Bennet in 1930’s clothes? What if Emma Woodhouse was the daughter of a car dealership owner? What if Marianne Dashwood was seeking to become a movie star in the golden…
Two posts in one day? Is it Christmas? No, (though that event is only 50 days away!) but you’re just so awesome you deserve two posts. That, and I forgot I was supposed to share this interview today and posted something else. But you can all give me grace for that, right? We’re all friends here! What would it be…
Finally, the release date for Firmament: Reversal Zone! It is now available on Kindle, and I’m making the last few tweaks to the paperback, so it should be up in a few days. In the meantime, head on over to Bookish Orchestrations for the blog tour kickoff, which includes three giveaways–one for each of the three previous books! I think…
Well, I haven’t posted in almost a month, contrary to my most sincere desires. My schedule these days looks a bit like this: Get up around 6:30 to head to the gym. Work out for about 45 minutes. Get to work by 8:00 and spend the day answering phones, entering things into the computer, and finding little snippets of time…
Well, I didn’t say anything in the last post about analyzing everyone’s favorite Austrian space pilot, but considering it’s the month of August it seemed only appropriate! Grace brought it up to me that how could we miss an opportunity to write continue the series with a breakdown of the beautiful character that is August. And since I would write…
