Devotional: Sploosh – Divine Love for a Rock by Lara Lee
Sploosh is a rock. You see, I didn’t understand divine love like my son had for Sploosh. Of course, Sploosh would never have had a personality or life beyond the shore if it wasn’t for my son… the one with autism… the one who people assume can’t love because the media has told them that […]

So update #1: I had a baby. I try not to publish too much personal stuff on my writing stuff, but a new baby is a big deal and affects everything. My youngest son and my oldest son are my greatest joy, so many things have been on hold for a little while until we […]

Book Review: Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden

Book Review: The Finding by R. E. Joyce
The Finding by R.E. Joyce is a young adult epic fantasy novel very much in the fashion of Tolkien. The story starts with Ariah, an adopt speaking horse who transforms into the unicorn she had always been but had not come to age yet. She then set off on an epic quest to stop […]
