Reflections after an Amazon KDP Select Free Promotion
I just ran a KDP Select promotion this past week–where Amazon allows anyone to download a copy of the Kindle version of your book for free. It went all right, when all was said and done–certainly, it could have gone much worse! I was hoping for more expose through free downloads than I received, but…

Character Spotlight: Kansten the Lovable Badger
Yes, it’s one last character spotlight in honor of this week’s FREE PROMO OF The Crimson League, the Fight for Hope. (Download it here for Kindle, for FREE). No, Kansten Carder’s not really a badger.

Character Spotlight: Neslan the Scholar and True Friend
Neslan Dormenor is the Crimson League’s scholar. If I’m honest, he’s probably the character who most resembles me in temperament and interests. He’s twenty-five or so and loves history, literature, poetry, and myth. He’s extremely book smart, and I’d think he has a rich interior life. I feel really bad for him, because he finds…

Excerpt: Reaching the Hall of Sorcery
Today’s excerpt involves a slight spoiler–nothing beyond a revelation that would necessarily be part of a trailer, however. That’s why I decided to use it. I did want to give a warning, though. If you don’t want a “spoiler” that would be in a trailer, I wouldn’t read further. Today’s excerpt is when Kora, the…

This isn’t a topic I wanted to discuss too openly, but since my publisher put my book under the “religious science fiction and fantasy” category, with reason, I figured I’d like to address it. I do love the idea of evangelizing the imagination, as I’ve heard the term used in reference to good Christian art.…

Bennie is a farm girl from the region of Granharson, though the name of…
