Back to The Beginning

There’s officially a new version of The Beginning available, and I’ll tell you exactly how to get it without spending a cent (unless you haven’t already bought it, in which case, you’ll need to spend $0.99 to get it).

But first, let me explain what I changed and why. (If you don’t give two shits about the why, that’s understandable and you can scroll down to the heading “Updating your Kindle version.”)

When I first wrote The Beginning, I didn’t realize it would be a series. I actually imagine...

A Great Gulf: September Update

Total profits from sales of A Great Gulf, Sept. 8 – 30: $160.93

In the twenty-three days between when I released the Jessica Christ short story A Great Gulf and today, two more hurricanes have devastated Americans, and two major earthquakes have shaken Mexico. Oh, plus monsoon season is out of control in South Asia and there are probably a few other natural disasters that have taken place, killing dozens of people, that I haven’t even heard about.

Sometimes helping can feel futile.

But, obvi...

This Post on the NFL Will Piss You Off

This post will upset you. It’ll get your hackles up. You might want to punch your computer screen or unfollow me on your bullhorn social media outlet of choice.

Because I’m going to talk about pro sports.

And politics.

And raising a family.

And maybe climate change, but probably not because I find it boring and leave that to experts. I have an English degree, for God’s sake. I know my limitations.

But also, I’m not really going to talk about any of this. I’m going to talk about talking about...

I have a new eye twitch

I have a new eye twitch. No, not the old eye twitch that happened just below the bottom lashes. This one is in my left brow, so now it looks like I’m being overcome by strobe-like disbelief. Disbelief as a tic. Or maybe I’m flicker flirting. Microflirting. Ooo, that’s sexy. And time efficient.

Sexy is not important right now, but time efficient is. There aren’t enough hours in the day and on top of getting the final version of It is Risen ready for publication, I’m also churning out a secret...

A Great Gulf

I’m a total sucker for the #texanshelpingtexans stuff, y’all. Texas gets a bad rap because sometimes our politicians forget women are people or occasionally we have racists pop up at inopportune times with megaphones in hand.

But what I’ve been trying to show in my books is that Texans are a hell of a people. Texans have a strong “screw it, we’ll do it ourselves” attitude that’s been on display for the world in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, and I couldn’t be prouder of my state.
