The older kids (middle year) impressed me with their knowledge of clim...

“Houses, like people, have their own peculiarities.”

I was recently at a lecture at Grub Street (which I highly
recommend if you are in the Boston area and looking for classes on writing) and
the lecturer spoke about the idea of ‘setting as character’.

The idea is that the setting isn’t just a pain...character’.

I’m so excited to share with you the cover for the first book in my Hanger’s Horsemen series – At Love’s Command. It’s my first hero-centric cover, and I love it!

Not all of the details match the story exactly. On the cover his vest is brown when it should be cavalry blue, and his horse should be a blood roan no...

Whether you’re trapped by anxiety, addiction, abuse, shame, or besetting sin, hear me now: you CAN be free for good. The One who made the stars allowed His Son to be killed and resurrected to buy your freedom, if you’ll have it.

I want to make it very much known to all that read this, that J. Peters has always been watching, long before he put any University on Watch. Indeed, during history’s most decisive and defining moments, I’ve always been there, gazing upon the events as they unfolded…

I often have to do a bit of research for my writing. This latest novel, which is set here on Earth in the near-ish future, required some digging into some interesting topics. I’m currently researching types of explosives (and wondering if I’m getting myself placed on a watc...

Another swing of the axe came. Another guard died not in euphoric homicide, but methodical murder.

“Please!” the last guard begged.

“RELEASE DOROTHY,” the cyborg demanded in monotone.

“Mercy! The witch’s spell binds us!”

The axe fell. “IF I ONLY HAD A HEART…”

Microsoft bought Wunderlist. Of course they did. Wunderlist was awesome, and Microsoft’s offerings…were not. Wunderlist was voted best product, Microsoft wasn’t. So, as is the case these days, the giant consumed the little guy.

Y es preciso en este instante en el que veo el silencioso titiriteo de las estrellas que han recorrido no solo el vasto océano vacío, sino también un inmenso océano de tiempo para poder estar aquí, como luz y como silencio entre ruidos y oscuridades.

Cada año espero el anuncio de la concesión del Nobel de Literatura con la incertidumbre de si conoceré o no al ganador; de si, en caso conocerlo, me caerá bien o mal, y de si se lo darán o no a Murakami de una puñetera vez. Después de que en 2018 les diera un poco de vergüenza ponerse a dar un premio con...

Could we all be honest for a minute and admit that we have habits that keep us from reaching our goals? No matter how hard we try, there is no such thing as perfection. But we all have habits which keep us from being our best selves, which steals our peace. Well, speaking from pers...

It’s the final grind uphill to the finish line. I’ve actually written the last three days of blog posts, but they’re sloppy 1st drafts and I don’t have time to edit and upload. I’ve been basically non-stop for a month, but somehow these last few days feel the hardest. As you know, I’m cur...

Vamos falar de piolhos – e faço desde já uma pausa para poderem coçar a cabeça. Porque a verdade é que só o nome destes bichinhos já nos dá comichão. E eles fazem questão de aparecer mal as crianças regressam às aulas!
