Guard your mind
The culture of the West today is utterly depraved. It makes my heart sad, but the collapse of the West is undeniable at this point. The art, books, and music being produced are flat at best, and at worst openly promote selfishness, self-aggrandizement, glorification of sin, and victim mentalities that help no one and only…

Don’t be afraid to be an amateur
One of my favorite quotes is by G. K. Chesterton, as are MANY of my favorite quotes. The one I’m thinking of right now basically says: “If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly.” Obviously, this doesn’t apply to literally every situation. The math behind constructing a bridge is NOT worth doing…

“The Crimson League” audiobook is LIVE! This is not a drill!
I am so, so excited to announce that you can now purchase the audiobook version of “The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope” from Audible here. It should also be available on iTunes and Amazon. It may take a day or two longer to load there, though. I am just so thrilled. This is a…

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…

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…

We are creatures of habit. This can work for or against us. Tap into it!
I’ve been thinking about how we are creatures of habit, because I used to schedule all my posts here to release at 6:55 AM. I took a break, and when I came back to blogging daily, I decided to try releasing posts a little later in the day, at 10:00 AM. Because I still have…

Humble, unassuming characters are the BEST!
Some of my favorite characters are the humble, unassuming ones–who do what’s needed, without caring about whether it’s recognized, because it’s needed and it’s the right thing to do. They tend to be sidekicks or minor characters. Helpers. Supporters. They don’t mind sharing, or even giving up, the spotlight after it falls on them here…

A New Month! What are your plans and goals?
Now that May and my book launch are past, apart from continuing to push and market my Herezoth trilogy (e-book and paperback available on Amazon), my focus will be on three things: I’m writing this in advance, towards the beginning of May. I already have planned to take the entire week of Memorial Day off…

One day to go! Reflection on pre-book launch jitters
A book launch is such a fun experience, and such a fulfilling accomplishment. It can’t satisfy the deep longings of the human heart, but when you’ve worked long and hard on a book that you know has something of real value to offer to other people, it’s a wonderful feeling to know it’s going out…
