Accepting What I am

(There will be a preview of my new novel, The House That Wasn’t There, at the end. If you’re just here for that, skip to the bottom.) When we are young, we’re filled with dreams and ambitions of what we will achieve in our lives. Some of us want to climb Mt. Everest, while othersContinue reading “Accepting What I am”

To Be or Not to Be a Christian Writer

In recent posts I’ve written about my faith as a Christian (here and here). I’ve also written about my passion for writing. Outside of family, those are my greatest passions, loves, and reasons for being. It occurred to me recently that some of you might be wondering why I haven’t blended the two. In otherContinue reading “To Be or Not to Be a Christian Writer”

Here is my personal list of the greatest feelings of writing (that I’ve experienced): If youContinue reading “The Greatest Feelings of Writing”

Devil Whispers

My dream has always been to be a traditionally published author. When I started writing fiction as a teenager that was one of the only ways to have your fiction read. I read R.L. Stine as a kid, Christopher Pike as a teenager, and graduated to Stephen King as an adult. My heroes were allContinue reading “Devil Whispers”

A Christian & A Horror Writer

*A quick disclaimer: in this post, I’ll be discussing my faith. I have refrained from speaking at any length about my faith as a Christian in the past. That is of the past. In the future I will speak of my faith in God without apologies. If that offends you, well, too bad. There areContinue reading “A Christian & A Horror Writer”

Why I Self-Published & Why You Should Consider It

Reel Ghosts is available for purchase on Amazon (there’s a link in the Books tab on the menu). It’s part of the Kindle Unlimited program.

An Exciting Adventure

After a long journey of querying, I’ve made the decision to quit. Don’t worry, I’m not quitting writing. Instead, I’ve decided to quit waiting for the gatekeepers of the literary world (literary agents) for their approval. I’ve decided to quit allowing my self-worth to be dictated by someone else. I’m jumping the fence, so toContinue reading “An Exciting Adventure”
