Yesterday, I purchased a cube bookcase. It came with a small bag of screws, pins, and more screws. (I used the phrase "screw it" several times during this project) While it didn't seem heavy in the store, I had to open the box (after dragging it to my door) and take the pieces upstairs one at a t...

I'm currently messing around in our deep, deep past, trying to get a fix on the roads that humans have traveled for a new non-fiction book to be called Road through Time.

One of the delightful things is to discover that the red-haired genes I carry--once having redhair myself and having given bi... Read more of this blog post »

I've written 3 novels. “Stray” is about drug addiction, and the other 2 feature runners. I am going to end this streak soon, but there's something about running that I always hope to capture. Running is very much an inner adventure that takes you to the dark corners of the mind, and I often feel... Read more of this blog post »

Hello! It's been a while since I've had time and brain-power to blog, but since I'm waiting for my editors to finish their work on book 4, it's a good time to post something.

As with any creative project, there's a sort of post-creation lull that I'm experiencing. I would compare it to childbirth,... Read more of this blog post »

From time to time I do this segment about things I'm obsessed with.

So, in general, I just tend to LOVE everything. Like, seriously. I just have a lot of love to give.

Or I hate it. Like mushrooms... I don't just dislike them. I HATE them. Same thing with Jazz. I just can't not like it. I LOATHE it... Read more of this blog post »

As you will see below I have written the second part of BEVERLEY. Even by the end of this part she has only been on Refuge two days, so it may well, just as DRAKE did, go beyond the usual four parts. This especially true as I like her and find her easy to write about.
I promised optimism this week... Read more of this blog post »

Twenty-one year old Roman Montgomery is one hell of a playboy. Or he used to be. Before the whole best-friend-commits-suicide-and-fans-blames-him thing. Now, with the truth out, he can finally get back to his old ways.

WINTER edits are coming along nicely. The red ink splashed on the proof pages looks a lot like an episode of Game of Thrones.

Have you ever faced a situation that made you want to ask why? If you’re like most of us, then the answer is yes. It’s during these times of not understanding what in the world is taking place that we really have to trust God. Our circumstances don’t have to be alike in order f...

Sometimes I’m paralyzed by fear. Fear isn’t exactly the right word. It’s more a feeling of being extremely leery of the unknown. Not knowing what tomorrow will bring. This is nothing new. For who can know the future? I doubt even those psychics who claim to, really see visions of what life will b...

Okay, so in all of this discussion on posting images on Facebook (and Twitter, Instagram, your blog, etc) as well as tagging, people have raised a really interesting point: what do you do with group shots?
