Calling the American church out of the shallows and into the deeper waters of the faith
This post is to inform fans of my series and of the fantasy genre in general, that my friend Eric Reinhold, one of the other authors on the Fantasy Fiction Tour ’08, is running a contest at his blogging site that you can access here. Basically, the contest is designed to have you spend some … Read More “Contest” »
I have to admit it, I like war stories. I like war books and war movies. I like non-fiction books on war like Band of Brothers and Flags of Our Fathers, and I like historical fiction war accounts like Killer Angels. I like the film version of these books too – the HBO miniseries based … Read More “A Time For War” »
A couple weeks ago I was the featured author on the Motiv8 website that has information about the Fantasy Fiction Tour ’08. So click the link, scroll down and check it out.
Today I caught my first whiff of someone not especially pleased with All My Holy Mountain. To date, all the feedback by email, website comment, personal conversation, etc., had been glowing, but the first neutral/negative reaction was bound to come at some point, and today was the day. Of course, I went right to Amazon … Read More “Reviews” »

I came cross country from Baltimore in my little, two door Toyota Tercel through a blistering summer heatwave, all that I owned of any significance in the hatchback.

I have always loved the imagery associated with the holy mountain in Isaiah, and so creating a world where the central geographic feature was “the Holy Mountain” was a lot of fun. For four books the action has … Read More “All Roads Lead to the Mountain” »
I alluded to this in my post about enjoying summer break, but this summer I am working on two projects at the same time – or trying to. As it turns out, it isn’t easy. I’ve blogged about the fiction project, so I’ll briefly mention the other one here. Again, it isn’t under contract (yet), … Read More “The Other Project” »
According to an email I received within the last hour, All My Holy Mountain is supposed to arrive at P&R from the printer by 6/10, which means on or about that date, P&R will start filling orders. If you’ve ordered directly from them, then the book shoud be sent directly to you. If you ordered … Read More “AMHM Update” »
