The first “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie is one of my favorites. Here’s how the series inspired Herezoth
The first Pirates movie came out when I was in college. I LOVED it. I can’t tell you how many times I have watched it over the years (though I haven’t watched it recently.) It has its issues, but it was just so fun, engaging, silly, funny, and adventurous. It was a fabulous summer blockbuster.…

Thankful Thursday: thankful for imagination
I have a very active and strong imagination. I guess you’d have to to write a fantasy trilogy! Imagination is such a wonderful gift. It’s a creative outlet. It teaches us empathy. It pushes us beyond our borders and limitations. It inspires us. It helps us to connect with others. So today, I am thankful…

Character Spotlight: Darryn and Arbora
Darryn Polve and Arbora Anders are two of the major villains in The Magic Council: The Fight for Home. I wondered for a while how to approach this post, but I think I finally figured it out. What gave me pause is that as villains, they don’t rival Zalski Forzythe at all. But I realized…

Character Spotlight: Catching Up with Hayden Grissner
Hayden’s come a long way in the fifteen years since we last saw him in The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope. (Consider this something of a spoiler alert, if you haven’t read book one yet!) From humble beginnings as a commoner from a small village north of Podrar, with a penchant for hunting birds…

Patron Saints of the Crimson League
I’m Catholic, and as a Catholic, I believe that death doesn’t separate us from our older brother and sisters in the faith. Basically, I believe in the Communion of Saints–that we can ask the faithful who have gone before us to pray for us, just like we ask friends and family to pray for us.…

The one year anniversary of “The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope”
It is the one year “bookiversary” of book one of my trilogy! It’s crazy to think it’s been a year since I released the second edition. It’s had its ups and downs. I’ve gotten good reviews, but not as many as I had hoped. (Reviews in general are hard to come by! Not many readers…

Stay tuned . . . I will have a HUGE announcement coming next month at the latest!
Just a heads up today that there is some massive, wonderful, stupendous, super-exciting Herezoth news on the horizon. You won’t want to miss it. I’m hoping to make the announcement this month, but it’s somewhat up in the air and to a degree outside my personal control. But I can drop the news in July…

Thankful Thursday: Thankful for my characters who inspire me the most
I love my characters so much. They’re honestly like old friends, and they deeply inspire me. Well, some of them, haha. For sure. I love Lanokas, 1000%. His arc of growth throughout all three novels is incredible. I adore it. The way he matures, learns to step up, and does what needs to be done…

Reflections on resilience through different phases of life
If there is one constant in life, it is that nothing is constant. We are constantly progressing through one phase of things to another. Sometimes the transition is gradual. Sometimes it happens suddenly. Sometimes we choose it, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes entering a new phase is unavoidable; other times, it’s a deliberate progression on our…
