It’s been six years since the release of my first novella, Ferryman, and many of you followers have seen the chaos of my writing journey, always kicked left and right like some pinball machine. At last, however, I have a new book, a full-length novel that I can introduce to you all: Goldenguard. Goldenguard is … Continue reading Introducing my New Book: Goldenguard
I'm normally not a fan of spy thrillers. They're okay, but they've never held my attention for long. I've never even seen the Jason Bourne movies. So when Paul Blake's back cover starts with "Alec Foster is no Jason Bourne," I took an interest. I'd met Paul Blake on Twitter and read a few of … Continue reading Book Review: “A Young Man’s Game” by Paul Blake
I hadn't had butterflies like this since I first went up in the Superman Tower of Power at Six Flags St. Louis (I screamed, but I screamed like a manly man, darn it!). Richard Dawkins is one of the best-known, most-vocal, and most-influential atheists of our time. And from what I'd heard, The God Delusion … Continue reading Why “The God Delusion” Poses Little Threat to Christianity
I was already a Mark Carver fan after reading Indelible, which I reviewed here, but I have to say I enjoy Beast even better. It's not trying to say nearly as much as the other book, but it succeeds in being more entertaining. TITLE: Beast AUTHOR: Mark Carver with Michael Anatra GENRE: Disaster thriller THE … Continue reading Book Review: “Beast” or “THIS is Why We Should Drive Electric Cars.” (8/10)
I've given away a lot of e-copies of Ferryman, but never a print copy (well, not on this level). The sad thing is, while an e-book is easy to give because it costs you nothing to distribute (maybe 4 cents in some cases?), a lot of people still love print books, and why not? The … Continue reading Enter to Win a Free Print Copy of Ferryman
I've never been shy about being a Christian writer who dips into adult content. The Bible is Rated R, so there's more leeway than you think. And I'm certainly not writing to children, not this time at least. Plus, I self-published this novella. I can make my own rules, right? So...why did I change my tune … Continue reading Why I Cut Some Adult Content out of my Adult Book
Happy Launch Day! God, I am so sick. As luck would have it, I got bitten by a spider. As luck would have it, that bite got infected. As luck would have it, I'm sick as a dog on my own launch day. Boo. See? I'm too sick to even have an exclamation point after … Continue reading It’s Heeeeere! Ferryman Is Available in ALL Formats!
Go on the internet and say you don't like something and you'll immediately be graced with misspelled cuss words, racism, sexism, and the general frothing of humanity's dregs. Or at least get a fervent, "Nuh-uh!" But did you know that the way you say something changes the reaction you get? If you experience a book, … Continue reading Why I Hate What You Love
If you've been following me for any length of time, you've seen me post about my novella, Ferryman. I tried a Kickstarter, which failed, then I simply received donations, which went better, and through an unexpected check, I was able to finally pay a cover artist and an editor to get this bad boy polished … Continue reading Announcing My Book: Ferryman
Aaaand, we're back. As promised, I was gone for November so I could participate in NaNoWriMo 2016, and in my absence, I got more traffic than I have in a long time. Not sure how to take that. Whatever, NaNoWriMo is done and now I get to tell you all about it. This was my … Continue reading A Creator’s Journey #13–NaNoWriMo 2016
