  • My books (Part 3)

    From here on out until the last four of mine, the order of their publication gets fuzzy. I do know that Breath of Life was written later than two of the e-books. (Breath of Life is not available as an e-book.) Although I delve into the male “mind” in all of my novels, Breath of…

  • My books (Part 2)

    Although The Famous One is my second novel published, technically it wasn’t the second novel I wrote. I began the sequel to my first novel Hope of Glory and after working hard on it, I realized it was going to be another saga. By that time, I knew the publishing industry had no desire whatsoever…

  • So what’s it worth to you?

    What’s it worth? From the moment you make the decision to write a novel to the time you work through each page of the story, chances are you’ve entertained some psychological exercises ranging from huge dreams to fear of failure and everything in between.

    It does. Love this song.

  • Promoting Others’ Novels (Part 13)

    One of my top all-time favorite authors, the brilliant Frank Peretti has written some of the best and most poignant novels in Christian Fiction. [Side Note: While the link above to information about him is from Wikipedia, Frank’s critics in the article are typical and demonstrate their lack of real knowledge on the subject of…

    You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 (NIV)
