Alana Semuels writes,

If nothing else, Amazon’s HQ2 decisions may accelerate America’s great divergence, where highly educated urbanites are doing better and better, and everyone else is doing worse. Amazon has jobs outside of cities too, of course, but those are often low-paying and grueling job...

Estava nervosa. Mas mesmo nervosa. A imponência do edifício Saint Jonhs College também acrescentava solenidade ao momento. E a Directora Global de Cambridge na primeira fila impunha responsabilidade. É que este é um projecto muito sério. Cambridge é uma das instituições mais antigas e de maior cr...

Diane Byington’s new novel, Who She Is, was released March 20, 2018 by Red Adept Publishing. I’m thrilled to be interviewing her as we went through the Stanford University On-Line Creative Writing Certificate Program together. We completed our women’s fiction novels under the guidance of Stanford...

Not long after I moved from Austin, Texas, to Blacksburg, Virginia, I met this beautiful blonde woman named Melissa at church. We started chatting, and eventually she mentioned that she ran her own blog. “Oh yeah?” I said, “What’s your blog called?”

“320 Sycamore,” she...

A recent low tide visit to the beach at Platboom near Cape Point, on the Atlantic coast of the peninsula, enabled us to watch a troop of Chacma baboons (Papio ursinus)  foraging for limpets, mussels and other marine snacks on the rocks at low tide. The baboons bi...

Happy launch day, little book! ❤ I have spent ten years with you, dreaming you up, writing you into existence, and now you’re out there, in the world, finding your readers. And even though our time together is over, I find comfort in the thought that stories, as long as they’re shared,...

So, this is the new cover for I Hear They Burn for Murder (and hopefully the last). It’s gone through a couple new ones in the past year, in large part because I’m not working with the cover artist who designed the first original cover anymore. I also asked a small test group about the old cover...

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure why I’m getting emails from readers asking for me to send them a copy of the Xander Christmas short stories, but they are not free at this time.

I realize there are issues with Amazon search and certain books not appearing for customers, and I apologize on their behalf....

All right, despite being in the “writing community” for years, for some reason I didn’t know about YALLFest until LAST YEAR. I suppose I’ve always assumed that major writing events like this just don’t happen in my area. But boy, was I wrong. THIS IS A MAJOR THING THAT HAPPENS ONCE...

More than anything, I want our children to walk faithfully. To live a life faithful to God.

I’m not saying they need to be “perfect”—just that I deeply desire them to walk with God.

And not only now while they’re here under our roof, but when they leave our home too.

It’s what I prayed for our olde...
