Hugh Howey's blog:
Does it feel like we’re at war with ourselves? Like the world is split into two groups, and we can’t stop fighting? It might feel like this is getting worse and worse, despite the civil wars and world wars of the past. But what if the constant fighting across these great societal divides is not a...

I stand in the night and stare up at a lone star, wondering what love means. You whisper your desire—do I love you? I dare say yes. But my eyes drift back to that solitary star; my mind is plagued with intimate uncertainty.
What art thou, Love? Tell me.

Jayson Derowitsch's blog:
In writing the parts for the relationships, I felt the theme of Bitterness versus Sweetness was an appropriate inclusion. If you haven’t already guessed this, the name Marah actually means bitter, and the name Pamela actually means sweet. So how does this word picture develop the gospel message?...

Hey everyone,
My New book Murder in Cazenovia is doing well. Beta readers love it so far. I took a road trip to Cazenovia, New York this past weekend. 4 hours away! It's a very, very small town! Beautiful and antiqueish! Is anyone from Syracuse, or Cazenovia or close by?
