Blog postI'm trying to be sensitive... Many adults were never spanked and others were abused while the word “spanking” was used as a very thin veil to justify it. If that was the case for you… I’m truly sad and sorry about what you experienced.

Blog postKingdom: An ever-growing reign (Matthew 4:17) The idea of God being the divine Ruler and King over Israel is almost as long as the nation’s history. Before the nation had any earthly king, God was its King. 1 Samuel chapter 8 recounts the sad situation when Israel preferred a human king over God, their

Blog postYes, this is a hot-button topic. Yes, it’s been blogged and debated to death.
In some ways, it’s generated more heat than light.

Blog postEmail Advice: Is Homosexuality Wrong? This is an "Email Advice" post... I often receive emails that ask for my advice. When it feels that the things the Lord gives me to say in response to these requests could be helpful for others, I post the question (anonymously) and my responses here. May God use th

Blog postKingdom: The Prophesied King Arrives (Matthew 4:12-17) (The 3rd post in a series. Search the archives for “Kingdom)
Matthew 4:12-17 introduces us to Jesus’ first mention of the Kingdom of Heaven. Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Ga

Blog postKingdom: The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand (Matthew 3:2) (see the preceding article on the Kingdom of Heaven here)
The first overt reference to the Kingdom of Heaven in Matthew’s gospel comes from the lips of John, the Baptizer. In those days John the Baptist came

Blog postKingdom: A long-anticipated reality (Matthew 2:2, 6) Beginning our investigation of the Gospel of Matthew, with eyes wide open for any reference to the “kingdom” of God… we first become aware of the notion of a kingdom through a passage we hear every year around Christmas time.
As Matthew recounts the

Blog postThe problem of the Kingdom of Heaven (1st in a series) What do YOU think of when you hear the word “Kingdom?” A castle?
A crown?
A powerful ruler?
A domain or geographic location?
Me too. I always have thought of those things when I hear the word.
So when, as a kid, I read the gospels for the first ti

Blog postThere were points in wrapping up this series that I felt the end would never come. But it’s done… book three is now LIVE on Amazon, and one thing I love about the fact that I took so long is this…
Click the image to go to Amazon and buy the book! HARDBACK VERSIONS ARE NOW A THING!
I’ve long wished Amazon gave self-published authors the ability to print their books in hard cover and now it’s here. I’ve got a hardback of all three of my books on the way to my house right now. I’ -

Blog postFiction can change lives. I truly believe that because of the impact stories have had on me personally. Our brains are wired for story. Our souls long to be part ofa grand tale and thankfully, in Christ we are.
For that reason, and because my books are laced with eternal themes, it’s important to me to get the books into the hands of people who will actually read them. If I could afford to simply give them away, I would (and I CAN afford to do that with electronic versions, so if you -
Blog postIt’s been almost 7 months since book #2 in the Dragonslayer series was released. I figure it’s time to get moving on the final installment.
I’ve had ideas and scenarios clanging around in my head for book #3 for a very long time.
I’m starting this next week – first on the outline, then once I’m happy with its general shape I’ll probably dedicate at least an hour each morning to filling it in chapter at a time.
I might even take one of my writing retreats in the months -
Blog postWhat’s a character sketch? It’s a summary description of a persona, either of a real life person or a fictional character.
The Scribendi website defines it this way:
A character sketch is a quick rendering of a character, and writing a sketch is about asking and answering questions. In order to write a character sketch, you must ask yourself questions about your character. Only you, as the author, can answer these questions.
In this case it’s a fictional character, on -
Blog postWriting fantasy fiction is not as easy as I once thought… a young J.R.R. Tolkien, fantasy fiction author
So says I, author of now 2 novels out of an originally planned 5 (It’s since dwindled to 3. It’s all I can muster at this point in my life).
But it’s been a lot of fun, regardless.
I’ve always enjoyed fantasy fiction, especially growing up. By the time I was in Jr. High school was reading Tolkien, Piers Anthony, and others. It was a very fun time for my growing min -
Blog postIf you’ just can’t wait (even though you’ll have to wait until May 1st, 2015) you can pre-order the Kindle version of “Dragon Slayer: Rising” and it will be delivered to your Kindle or Kindle account on May 1, 2015.
How can you do it?

And if you’d be so kind as to pass along this message to others you know might be interested – I’d appreciate it!

Blog postOne of the things I love about the Ebook revolution is that you can find all kinds of cheap Kindle books, Nook Books, etc. “Cheap” could mean a great price… which is what I like. But “cheap” could also mean:
poor quality bad writing sketchy formatting terrible graphics or cover art Many of the promotion lists that exists publicize anything that is free or 99cents. When that’s the case, you’re likely to get “cheap Kindle books” from both standpoints. Cheaply priced Kindle books, but -
Blog post“Kill your darlings.” It’s been said many, many times by experienced authors. The phrase has been attributed to writers as well-known as William Faulkner and Stephen King. Who originally said it appears to have been neither.
But what it means for a writer is the important thing.
The phrase is meant to communicate that the ideas and phrases that you as the author tend to think are your “best work,” usually are not.
The ones you like the most, care about the -
Blog postWhat do I have to say about character development? Afterall, I’m not an experienced fiction writer. My first novel hasn’t even been released a year, yet.
But I am a teacher by trade. That means I notice what is involved in learning, and how learning happens.
I notice details, steps, procedures. I notice connections between things that most people miss.
As I’m doing the work of editing my second novel (a sequel to the first) I’m learning a couple of things about charac -
Blog postNaming a novel is not an easy thing to do… I’ve vacillated back and forth many times on what to name this second book, and the more time I spend doing my edits (I’m in the 2nd round of my personal edits right now), the more I’m being drawn to the name “Dragon Slayer: Rising.” It fits what’s going on, in two ways.
1 In this book, the Dragon Master cult begins to rise to dominance. Naturally, I’m not going to tell you how that happens (you’ll have to get the book), but I can say t
