Think Small: Pick Only a Few Things. Do Those With All Your Heart.

Scholars agree that the Crane Technique, if done right, cannot be defended. Mr. Miyagi pointed this out in the Eighties and it’s since been tested by roughly every single one of the humans who were boys in that era. I refer, of course, to that cinematic masterpiece, The Karate Kid. After I saw that movie, I ran around kicking air, punching boards, and, most importantly, trying out the Crane Technique. Whatever I saw in a movie, or heard about in a story, I wanted to do and be. I was Caspian, Tonto, Captain Kirk, Luke Skywalker, and even Luke Duke of The Dukes of Hazzard. Yeeeaaaaa-hoooo! (Cue Jeff Foxworthy.) Whatever I saw, I wanted to be.

I haven’t really changed much. Oh, the things I want to be and do have changed, sure. I no longer want to ramp the General Lee off convenient hillocks to escape the bumbling cops of Hazard County, or win a Karate championship using the Crane Technique. But I do want to write like C.S. Lewis, parent like Clay Clarkson, make people laugh like P.G. Wodehouse. I hear an excellent podcast and I suddenly want to cast my pods in an excellent way. I watch Liverpool playing soccer and want to coach soccer, or maybe, just maybe, work really hard and become a professional player at the age of 38.

That one brings me back to reality.

Answering the question, “What am I to be and do?” is not easy. But part of it is actually pretty simple. I’m a husband and a dad. I’m unquestionably called to provide for and serve my family in love. Like Jesus. That’s an easy one. No, no, no. Not easy to perform, just easy to discern a clear calling.

We live in an era of distraction. We will not survive the day without hearing a call to help these hurting ones, to do this noble thing, to support this worthwhile project, or to try this brand new technique for having a perfect family. Facebook was designed to multiply these insidious opportunities to do good. Guess what? We can’t do it all. We can’t do all we want to do, or be all we want to be. I have some simple advice for me and you.

Pick only a few things. Do those with all your heart.

Think Small and Carry On

Jesus didn’t seek out crowds, though crowds did come. He poured into 12 men–often just three. Those men, by the Spirit, shook the world. It’s still shaking.

Our lives, poured into a few worthwhile people and projects, will ripple out in a million unseen consequences. We need imagination to see it.

But it won’t happen if we are constantly distracted by every new personality or project we feel an envious itch to chase down. You can’t be like that celebrity who is such a great mom with her new cookbook and her flat belly and her amazing career and her quietly smoldering hunk of a husband who is so cute holding that adopted baby from Tragicostan. The Crane Technique may work every time, but a life built on envy doesn’t.

Envy is in my DNA. I want what feels just out of reach, like a particular fruit I was told not to eat. Ecclesiastes is full of wisdom on the subject, but here’s a hammer-blow to envy from chapter 6.

“Better is the sight of the eyes, than the wandering of the appetite.”

The corners of our eyes are a paradise of lies. Don’t believe them. Go forward and do the few things you do. If done right, no one can defend against them.

What a Year! The Green Ember’s Exciting Milestones

This is a post I’m grabbing from over at TheGreenEmber.com, written by Andrew Mackay, my esteemed publisher and friend. He looks back on some of the highlights from an amazing year. All I can add is how incredibly grateful I am to Andrew, to you all, and to God our Father for giving us this wonderful, exciting, exhausting, fun, hard, and happy year. Thank you! –Sam

One year ago today, The Green Ember was successfully funded on Kickstarter. It was a great day. We made this video that night. We’ve done an incredible amount of work in the year since, and God has been very kind to us. Some milestones:

We launched the eBook and print book to retail in December of 2014. It has consistently been a category leader and excellent seller on Amazon ever since.

We have given away almost 60,000 eBooks, engaging new readers with Heather and Picket and the world they live in.

We’ve been approached by a number of distributors to see how they can carry The Green Ember.

We launched The Green Ember audiobook to Audible, where it’s grown consistently and is RIGHT NOW being featured as a hidden gem.

We’ve sold over 11,000 copies of The Green Ember in all formats. I’m not an exclamation mark kind of guy, but !!!

We’ve been out of stock at least 6 times when our reprint speed hasn’t kept up with the demand for books. We’re consistently surprised, and we’re in our 5th printing as we speak. Again, a little too late.

We’ve had so many wonderful reviews on Amazon, in magazines, and on countless blogs.

We’ve been fortunate to visit with thousands of readers across 7 states, and many, many more both nationally and internationally, through the magic of the internet.

We launched a prequel novella, The Black Star of Kingston, which has also sold thousands of copies.

We launched t-shirts and a very limited run of handmade Heather and Picket figures.

Best of all, Sam has laid the groundwork for book 2. He is making tremendous progress. I can’t wait for you to read more about Heather and Picket. (Coming… Spring 2016.)

There’s a pile of work that goes into all of this. There are big teams that need to be thanked: the folks at Story Warren who keep things going (James and Julie and Kristen and Carrie and Zach, and everyone else!), the people who have generously shared The Green Ember with their audiences (most especially Sarah Mackenzie at Read-Aloud Revival, Crystal Paine at Money Saving Mom, Sally Clarkson, our friends at the Rabbit Room, the CIRCE Institute, Allison at TruthBeautyGoodness.net, and everyone else that I’ve forgotten to list). There’s the team of people involved in creating the book: the proofreaders and editors who helped us create a better book than we would’ve on our own, Will, who made a great map, Paul, who made sure our cover was beautifully composed, Zach… Zach, whose art has helped people connect to these characters in a really wonderful way. That’s without mentioning the teams at our printing and shipping providers who have helped us to keep things moving along.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to work with Sam. There are many authors in the world, but few love readers the way Sam does. He really does want to serve your family with beautiful, great stories. It’s a tremendous thing to be a part of.

One year ago today, the first books weren’t even on the printing press. A year later, and mail and email comes in consistently from people like you who have spent their time and money to enjoy this little book. Our success isn’t really ours — it’s based on people like you telling their friends about a book they enjoyed. So, most of all, thank you. It’s an honor to bring you books worth reading.

A Word About Andrew Mackay, An Amazing Publisher

Note: This was included in a post I shared a little while back among other things I’m thankful for. I thought it deserved its own post. Andrew Mackay is the man behind Story Warren Books and Brightener Books. 

Many people think I’m self-published, but that’s at best only barely true. I do not do cover design. I do not typeset my manuscripts. I do not have any idea how to get my books an ISBN or on Amazon. I don’t set up free promotional days. I don’t do title pages. I don’t do a thousand other things. I write books. I share/promote my books. That’s what you do when you have a publisher. That’s what I have in Andrew Mackay. He is a phenom. Diversely talented in a plethora of non-sports areas (burn!), this guy can do just about anything. Technology? He knows it better than almost anyone you know, I guarantee. Publishing? Can do anything and has been doing everything in the industry for over 10 years. Seriously, this guy can do it all. He’s incredible and it amazes me that some huge publisher, or some other business, hasn’t offered him a six-figure salary to run stuff for them. Because he. Can. Do. Everything. Also, he’s a great guy and a fantastic partner. He’s an advocate. He’s an encourager. He’s focused and positive. We’ve been on lots of trips together and he is all about just setting me up for success. He doesn’t often get noticed and he’s fine with that. But I notice. I see him. This guy is a star. I don’t know anyone who has anything like the same mix of soft and hard skills. A very sweet and gentle guy who can outwork the next ten guys and make a stormy, complicated operation go as smooth as the kiddie pool. Anyone would be fortunate to work for, with, or near this guy. I’m super grateful for Andrew Mackay.

Last Chance to Get The Green Ember Audiobook for $1

We’ve had a great response to our Money-Saving Mom $1 deal, seeing over 1,000 folks sign up for my newsletter and get the audiobook for next-to-nothing.

But as Science has decreed, all huge sales must come to an abrupt and senseless end. And so, my fellow Humanians, this is the last day we’re offering this.

Therefore, act fast if you desire to get in on this goodness.

Because come November 3rd…

This is Kind of Bananas: Some Fairly Astonishing News

Y1K = Yes, 1,000

Last week I asked you to help me let people know about our $1 deal on The Green Ember audiobook, offered in cahoots with the legendary Money Saving Mom. I told you I wanted to reach 1,000 new readers through this deal. Well, it happened! Thank you!

I’m delighted to share that we now have well over 1,000 new subscribers to my update: Blast to Smithereens, and most of those folks got the audiobook deal.

I’m very grateful to all of you who shared this deal with your friends! And I want to thank Crystal (aka Money Saving Mom), for being so cool and generous in sharing this offer with her amazing readers. That was fun. 

And From Our “Astonishing News” Desk

The books continue to sell well, surprising us over and over again. I keep thinking we’re going to run out of new readers, but somehow more keep finding these books.

In fact, this week we’re going back to the printers to order our 6th print run of The Green Ember in ten months! (And we’re going to order a whole mucho lotta books this time.) That is bananas. Bananas! Our initial goal was to sell through the first 2,000 we ordered in 18 months, and I had my doubts about that. To be given the incredible gift of being welcomed into so many homes, so many children’s lives, is an unbelievable honor.

Free Black Star

While many readers have found The Green Ember, (its prequel) Black Star is doing okay for a little guy. We are offering it for free on Kindle for one last day today. (We’ve had over 10,000 people download it in the last couple of days so far!) Get your copy and share it with your friends. 

Print Bundle

You can still get The Green Ember hard cover along with the Black Star paperback for only $20. (The hard cover of Ember alone is usually more than that.)

Ember Sequel

I’m working very hard on Book 2 (The Green Ember sequel). We are still aiming for a Spring release, which sounds like the right time to launch something new into the world.

Boing > Boring

Again, thank you so very much for being part of this story, for joining us on this zany journey. Thank you for praying for us, rooting for us, for helping us along. This has been a team effort and it always will be. I know there will be more ups and downs, but this has been really special so far. 

It’s every author’s dream to connect with an audience of readers he loves, respects, and wants to serve. You are making that dream come true for me. I’m astonished. I’m grateful. I’m glad.

Cheers!

Smiths. Blown away.

Would You Help Us Share The Green Ember Audiobook Deal? (It’s Only $1!)

In cahoots with the legendary Money Saving Mom, we are sharing an incredible deal. I’d love your help getting the word out.

For a short time, you can get The Green Ember audiobook–all eight hours of adventure–for one measly, single, solitary dollar. 

Would you share this with your friends? If you have trouble thinking of something, you can copy and paste this:

I’m so grateful for Crystal Paine’s (MSM) willingness to share our story and this bargain with her ginormous audience. She is great! (By the way, she has a new book, Money-Making Mom, aimed at equipping entrepreneurial moms.)

This audiobook is usually sold on Audible for about $20 and on our site it’s discounted to around $10. So why are we discounting it by approximately 7,000 percent? (Note: I’m not a Mathematician.) Because I want the story to reach a bunch of new readers/listeners.

How much of a bunch? 1,000 human beings and/or families.

In order to get the download for this downLOW price, you have to sign up for my newsletter. So it’s not all about the Washingtons for me, it’s about making a connection with readers/listeners that I hope continues into the future. A future where more stories live.

After talking–and more importantly listening–to a very wise friend this past weekend, I’m more determined than ever to be bold and focused in sharing my work with readers. I don’t believe my books are anything like perfect, but I do believe in these stories. I back the books, flaws and all.

I believe the call on my life right now is to get focused, to become an arrow in the arms of God, aimed at one small part of the darkness.

An Ogre’s Castle and My Own Cottage

I’m writing this in the Forge. A bluejay is bouncing outside my window in front of an ambling caravan of deer. Squirrels range through the trees behind and the leaf-strewn trampoline sits there pouting, waiting for children to liven up its otherwise sedentary life. I have so much to be grateful for. God has been profoundly kind to me, even amid challenging and painful times.

Life is hard for all of us. It is a riddle and a ride, a war and a wonder. But there is joy to be had, beauty to be enjoyed, and good fellows for the grand fight. I don’t want to paper over pain, to leave you with an attractive illusion of the writer’s life to deceive you. But I do want to be positive, because my life is anchored in real hope.

“We do not want joy and anger to neutralize each other and produce a surly contentment; we want a fiercer delight and a fiercer discontent. We have to feel the universe at once as an ogre’s castle, to be stormed, and yet as our own cottage, to which we can return to at evening.” G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

So to ward off my woeful wonderings, I produce the following broadside of gratitude. Be careful, lest ye be struck.

Five Things I’m Profoundly Thankful For

—

My Family

I have a very supportive wife who has been an amazing partner in this adventure. Gina works incredibly hard and has been with me all along the ups and downs of the writing (and every other part of) life. She’s what so many creative people long for, a person who is positive, encouraging, long-suffering, and supportive. She is the best. Also, she’s gorgeous. My kids! Oh, man. Our kids have been little encouragement machines. Their enthusiasm has been a constant joy. Also, they are the first audience and they were the first ones to say, “I love this!” They keep saying it and I keep needing to hear it.

My Publisher

Many people think I’m self-published, but that’s at best only barely true. I do not do cover design. I do not typeset my manuscripts. I do not have any idea how to get my books an ISBN or on Amazon. I don’t set up free promotional days. I don’t do title pages. I don’t do a thousand other things. I write books. I share/promote my books. That’s what you do when you have a publisher.

A very sweet and gentle guy who can outwork the next ten guys and make a stormy, complicated operation go as smooth as the kiddie pool. Anyone would be fortunate to work for, with, or near this guy. I’m super grateful for Andrew Mackay.

Advocates All Around

AAA for me means Advocates All Around, and I’m incredibly blessed to be surrounded by them. I open up my email, or go to my mailbox, and there’s another letter, email, message from another somebody bent on encouraging me, helping me, advocating for me and my stories in some way. I have had my share of accusers, and have had critics both subtle and sharp, but they are dwarfed by the number of allies who have become partners with us in sharing these books with kids and families all over. I’m so incredibly grateful! These folks share my books with their friends, their schools, their homeschool co-ops, their libraries, their bookstores, and with all their on-line friends. These advocates include people you may have heard of, like Sarah Mackenzie, the Champion Advocate of The Green Ember, and people you’ve probably never heard of in Indiana, California, Texas, Florida, Colorado, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Missouri, in (aptly-named) Reading, England, in Cape Town, South Africa, and elsewhere! I can see your faces in my mind. I’m so grateful for you. Thank you!

Story Warren

The team that offers free resources and inspiration, encouragement and illumination is a beautiful group of people. I am so grateful for them all, and for those who support what we do by sharing it with your friends. There are also many who have helped with our Inkwell conferences and who have come alongside us and helped us fulfill our mission of being Allies in Imagination to parents. Many of these teammates have been editors on my books, volunteers reading drafts and sending feedback that helps shape the final draft. I am profoundly grateful for this team. Out of the Story Warren team, I have the best editors, the best cheerleaders, and the best artist (Zach Franzen) I can imagine. This group is doing great work fighting back against the darkness in this world, offering light in lovely ways. Thank you!

Readers…YOU!

You are reading this. Whatever the reason may be, thank you! You are likely a friend, an advocate, or just a person who likes my books and wants to stay in touch with what’s happening. I am deeply honored that you’d spend time paying attention to me and my stories. Thank you. I’m spurred on by hearing that there are families out there eager to find out what happens with Picket and Heather. It’s so encouraging to hear from you, to receive letters packed with art by little hands, sweet letters from kids all over. Nothing encourages me more than hearing from kids and so thank you to all of you who have done that. I’m really overwhelmed by those gestures. As I type, all the art I’ve been sent is sitting in a pile beside me! I love it. Thank you! Some of you just read the books, maybe share them with your kids. That is wonderful. I’m so grateful to you for that.

Save Yourself! (Money): The Best Deal on My Books Since 1790

Hey, ya’ll. Sam here. I’ve got news for you that involves major savings and possibly time travel.

This is what I know right now.

My publisher is slashing smashing murdering slaughtering lowering prices and offering the hard cover of The Green Ember, along with the paperback of The Black Star of Kingston, in a bundle for a mere $20.

Only TWENTY American Dollars. 

 

I don’t know why he’s doing this. Maybe he hates money. Maybe he has nefarious plots I don’t know about. He is Canadian, so that raises some suspicions right off.

This deal saves you, the frugal consumer, $17.90. Sounds perty good, yeah. But is it too good?

What is he NOT saying about the 17.90? Is he NOT saying that if you take this great deal and get those books for such a huge-mongous bargain, that you could possibly be time-warped back to 1790?

When I reached out for a comment, he stated, “I don’t have time for this.” Hmmm….

“This is a touching book,” thought President Washington.

If the time-warp does happen, bargain shopper, be comforted that you will have something to read. And isn’t 1790 a great time to sit down with a rabbit adventure, or two? President Washington might like to join in. You can tell him you saved nearly eighteen dollar bills (featuring a certain somebody’s face) and then you could relate to him how you ended up in such a time as this.

Now, I’m not saying you should act fast and slaughter enjoy these savings because “time is running out.” But I could. Because time is literally running out.
