Dec 15, 2016 Update on Realm of the Dead.
I regret to inform you that Angelo the narrator for my audiobooks and I could not reach financial terms on Realm of the Dead. Therefore, I will be narrating the book myself. I will be touching base with my local studios today and tomorrow to schedule time, and will give everyone an update on a release date. Based on this new development I anticipate it will be out in January sometime barring any unforeseen circumstances. I will be sending out a newsletter next week with more information. Sta...

The Verdict is in!
I want to thank everyone for the wonderful reception you have given to Realm of the Dead. It seems the consensus is that this is the best book in the series. Thanks so much for taking this journey with me! You all have spurred me to do better with each book. (I’m still working on the editing. You should see a kindle update on your version in a week or so.)
So here what is going on. Last month I asked everyone to take a survey and you guys were wonderful with your responses. The results basic...

Take a listen to the Audio demo to Realm of the Dead!
Hey everyone God bless you! I’ve been playing around with the idea of doing the narration for the Realm of the Dead myself for a while now, and wanted to give you all a listen, and get some feed back.
So yours truly has taken it upon himself to record a sample audio for the possible project.
I’d like to know and get your honest feedback. So if you would take my survey and let me know what you think I should do let me kn...

My thoughts on Realm Makers 2016
I have just come back from the Realm Makers 2016 writers conference.
It was my first writers conference and a fulfillment of one of my writing goals. To make a long story short I am glad I went and if you are a spec fic Christian writer, I would recommend that you go too.
Mike Duran and Kerry Neitz
Not only did I get to meet some wonderful people in Christ. But people who also havea love of speculative fiction. While I was there, I always hadthis sense of being at a Christian comic con conve...

The Third Heaven: The Realm of the Dead
Cover Reveal
I’ve not been posting much lately as I have been focused on getting book three done. Nevertheless, I wanted to give a brief update on where we are. The complete plot looks like it’s done, and I am making what I think is good progress for what should be a spring release of the new book.
Writing a series like the Third Heaven is daunting. To take the word of God, and attempt to fictionalize it for entertainment purposes, has been the most humbling journey I’ve ever embarked on....

Fox TV’s Lucifer
An example of why we Christians must tell our own stories
Coming to Fox on January 25th is Hollywood’s latest attempt to minimize Biblical Christianity and trivialize one of its most foundational personalities…Lucifer.
Sensationalized with the taglines such as “going to be giving bad a good name”, and “Lucifer has a smile that make you want to tell all.” The twitter profile using the hashtag of “luciferiscoming” already has 14k followers as of this writing.
The worlds fascination with this...

What I hate about Destiny
The Single vs. Multiplayer experience
I love games. Before the advent of video game systems I used to play chess and backgammon and card games with friends growing up. My love for games has not waned over the years and I enjoy what I consider this golden age of video games.
There is one game in particular that I have a love hate relationship with and I wonder if other players out there agree with me. It’s Destiny.
Destiny is best described as first person shooter role playing game. Where you...
