Thoughts on writing
As September begins, I’m doing a reset. First, I intend to be bolder and posting more. It may involve just some musings, newsy items regarding my writing, or devotionals. I can’t promise they’ll all be three-minute reads, but I can promise they’ll be what I feel the LORD lays on my heart. Second, please check out my […]
My book, “My Name is Daniel,” has an updated cover, and is now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions! (Full paperback cover pictured.) This is a first-person retelling of the Prophet Daniel’s story from the time he is deported to Babylon as a young man to his later years. He’s an encouragement to stay faithful to
Sorry I haven’t been posting regularly, but I’ve been busy with my book about Jonah. I’m in the process of writing the last chapter, and I’ll probably add a chapter of historical notes. After that I’ll be getting a book cover done and deciding whether to include maps. Here’s a snippet from Chapter 4, after Jonah has

None of them knew how things were going to turn out. They
I’ve been spending time rereading one of my favorite authors and trying out a series by a new (to me) author. I truly believe that reading makes you better writer, speaker, and thinker; and I encourage you to find a favorite author and a book to enjoy. (And for those of you who aren’t into sitting with

I’m looking for some helpful souls to read one or both of my books and write a review on Amazon. The first book is a Christian historical fiction of the life of the Prophet Daniel, written from his perspective, less than 100 pages. The other is what I consider in the fantasy genre but might
