  • A very long time ago that seems not so long ago.    Father, thank you for protecting me along the way of my confusion and rebellion. Thank you is never enough for rescuing me from myself. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

  •   These are the first two novellas of The Casebook of Atticus Priest by Mark Dawson. Not prequels to his first four Atticus Priest full-length novels but rather picking up after his recent hire of Jeremy, aka "Jez", who keeps a "casebook" of impressions and notes gathered from the unique abilities of Atticus Priest to…

  •   Great song! Jesus IS alright!  Thank you, Lord, for being the same yesterday, today, and forever. In the Name above all names, the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

  • I haven't written many novels. Eleven to be exact. Two are finished but not published. The twelfth one is in progress, although it's been dormant for a few months.  I'm an indie author who's paid for the publishing of nine of those novels.  I'm a terrible marketer.

  • This is a different kind of excerpt this Wednesday. The first page of . . . in a love song:               “Heard it in a love song . . . can’t be wrong.”                                        The Marshall Tucker Band               Many waters cannot quench love;                   rivers cannot wash it away.               If one were to…

  •   Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Halleluuuujah!  Praise the Lord God Almighty. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

  • I've just finished three novels in a series written by a familiar author (to me) who I'm sure is writing under a pen name which encompasses many other authors. An indie published author(s) of many series books, some of which are at the 22nd, 18th, and so on number of novels in each series, cannot…
