Hey everyone,

When I set out to write The Found Child, I wanted to make it current. As in 2020, as in the fall of 2020. I wanted Shelby’s story to come full circle, and wanted that moment to be in September and October of 2020.

The first version of this book on my computer is dated October 2018. And t Read more of this blog post »

Running the Tides by Amanda Kayhart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


After reading "Fire and Water" I could not resist to just read her other full length novel, too. Ot took a little longer than just one night, but not because itis any less amazing than "Fire and Water"

I can't believe we're approaching the tail end of October now! When last I updated I was worried about finding time to type. I spent a week or so lecturing myself on not getting up early or staying up later to type and truth be told, I'm still lecturing myself.

Loved, loved, loved the movie. Wanted to love the book just as much. And I did, to a point. I believe this is another example of when a scriptwriter frosted the book-writer's yummy cake to perfection. However, it all started with the book, and Arthur Golden is a master storyteller.

I finished my Master’s Degree at Signum University! I highly recommend anyone interested in pursing their Tolkien studies in a scholarly manner to consider attending some classes here. You do not have to be there to pursue a degree. You can simply audit the classes if you like. There is a lot more t

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving

It is remarkable that the visionary propensity I have mentioned is not confined to the native inhabitants of the valley, but is unconsciously imbibed by every one who resides there for a time. However wide awake they may have been before they e

Անճանաչելի է այն, ինչի դիտարկումը չի ավարտվում սահմանումով. ըստ այդմ, երկու բան կա տիեզերքում, որոնց սահմանմանը մենք երբեք չենք հասնելու, քանի դեռ մարդկային գոյության մեջ ենք. ինքնաճանաչողություն և սեր, ու ինչքան խորն ես գնում սրանց մեջ, այնքան տեսանելի է դառնում դրանց նույնությունը, իսկ մեկացում

“It isn’t often a murder mystery leaves you with a warm, happy feeling, but this was definitely one of the coziest crime novels I’ve read.” I’m always on Cloud 9 when an author whose work I adore praises one of my novels. So thank you witty and wonderful (and quite adept at hanging from a hoop!) Jay Read more of this blog post »

On Feb. 5, 2016, I announced on the blog that I was getting serious about book writing. The post was part-reflective, part-goal-making, but I fully recognized that the process would be glacially slow and I ended the post by saying:

“Wish me luck. Maybe I’ll have a book written by 2020.”

I owe my love of reading to my late mother. I loved reading from an early age and never got out of the habit.

I’m phenomenally grateful for what I see as presents - the gift of literacy, the gift of wanting to read, and the gift of enjoying stories of most kinds. Those gifts are priceless I think.

Watching Greg Rodwell deteriorate right in front of my eyes is not a welcomed sight. These past four months with him gone have been rough for a lot of people. Something huge happened on the night of the party. I just can’t pinpoint who it was with and what he did. I only know t Read more of this blog post »

For a long stretch those of us who write and spend any amount of time studying the subject have been exposed to the argument between those who promote “pantsing” and outlining.

This is a great review of my poetry book by Leopard Zeopard that is due to come out in the 2020 Winter edition of RFD:
...a sense of urgent searching underlies much of RedWulf DancingBare’s book and is hinted at in the title: “Waiting on the Monsoons for His Desert Soul.” His poetry is eager to fill Read more of this blog post »
