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…

Evangelizing the imagination through fiction
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.…

Character Spotlight: Bennie the Faithful
I had originally thought to end the character spotlights with launch day on 6/15, but I realized that I hadn’t had an opportunity to spotlight one of my most “favoritest” of characters in my entire trilogy: Bendelof (BEN-deh-loff) Esper, or Bennie. Bennie is a farm girl from the region of Granharson, though the name of…

A Tale of Five Cities: “The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope”
Y’all, THE SECOND EDITION OF MY YA FANTASY LAUNCHED YESTERDAY!!! It’s an action-packed tale of a magical civil war, and I could not be more excited. This was literally ten years in the making. (The first edition, which has been out of circulation for years, released ten years ago). If you want to go back…

IT’S PUB DAY! Why I went indie
People have asked me why I went indie, or tried to encourage me to seek a more traditional route to publication. Given that “The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope” just launched on Amazon and is on sale for 99 cents (the ebook version), I figured this is a great time to briefly explore that…

How my new release fits into the series as a whole
My launch day, or pub day, is tomorrow! I put up a poll on Facebook asking people to vote on a topic for a blog post for today, and “where book one fits into the trilogy as a whole” won. I’m glad it did. It’s a great topic that’s bound to generate some questions among…

Character Spotlight: Kora the Resilient
Launch day is in 2 days, so today I’m spotlighting protagonist Kora Porteg! I could easily have titled this post “Kora the Courageous,” and it would have fit. The alliteration would have been nice, too. Kora’s seventeen when The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope starts. She’s a peasant girl doing her best to help…
