Book Review: Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis

All the books on my blog are books I recommend. This novel was truly the most horrific and deeply moving book I have read in a good way. It is not horror, so when I mean horrific I mean that the way I related to the story horrified me. You will have to read more […]

Book Review: Pilgrim’s Progress parts 1 and 2 by John Bunyan

I often post reviews of classic books as part of the list of books I recommend. I had read Pilgrim’s Progress before, but I read it again before doing this review.

The World Map of Gryphendale

I have a basic world map at the front of all my novels, but as I have written more and more, I have needed to create something more comprehensive. With five novels, many short stories, and a new novel in progress, I have started to forget where things were. Also, I have worked many in-person […]
