The Silent Blade | Cover Design

Have you ever had those times when you just wanted to do something, so randomly prayed, "Lord, I realize I don't have to do this, but it'd be nice if..." That was me a few weeks ago. Since all of my writing projects are in the baby-stages of planning and writing, I've not had a reason to do one of my favorite hobbies: book cover designing. So, I prayed that, if the Lord saw fit, He'd bless me with the opportunity to design a book cover for someone.
Not even a week after that, I beta-read a boo...

The "S" Word (a New Age of Story Telling) | Guest Post

By Hope Pennigton

And by the "S" word I mean "Social" of course. What were you thinking?

Writers tend to be rather hermity kind of folk in a endearing poetic kind of way. They like to think. To study. To read. To be introverted and in libraries in the rain with tea.

Unfortunately if you're the most amazing brilliant best writer in the universe and you're keeping it in your cosy poetic library or under your bed amidst my little pony coloring books it's not gonna become a best seller.

Understanding Exposure | Book Review

If there was one book that I would feel pretty confident in handing to an upcoming photographer, this would be it. Peterson's Learning to See Creatively was good, but it didn't really teach a person how to use their camera. I have a fairly good working knowledge of exposure (thanks to my photographer brother), so most of what Peterson explained I somewhat knew (some of it, I need much more work on). He definitely goes into depth with explaining the triangle of ISO, aperture, and shutter...

Surrender - Release Day!!!

It is finally release day! I must admit, releasing a piano book feels so much different than releasing a fictional book. Both are amazingly fun, but I'm super excited for the opportunity God has given me to share my music with other musicians!



There's several fun things related to Surrender's release and I hope you can participate in some of it. First off, tonight (7 p.m. Central time) we're having a FaceBook party with some giveaways and that type of fun stuff. You may join the party her...
