This novella was a big influence on H.P. Lovecraft.

A scientist performs an operation on a young woman to enable her to pierce the veil and glimpse things as they really are (the thing-in-itself, or cosmic Will), which he calls ‘seeing the Great God Pan’.

This drives her insane, but she also becomes p Read more of this blog post »

This book is about identity, inheritance, and the choices that define you when everything gets stripped away. We've walked the fence lines together. We've sat with the moral hinge of a stranger left in the dirt. Now the story's yours.

I’m thrilled to announce the release of my new book, The Power of Solitude: Reclaiming Your Mind in a Noisy World.

We live in an age of noise—notifications, endless scrolling, and a constant pull on our attention. Our minds are not our own anymore. I wrote this book because I believe that reclaiming Read more of this blog post »

The best innovations in my career never
came from inside the methodology. They
came from the edge of it, from the
conversation that went sideways, from
the person who asked a question the
process had not planned for.

I've finished the first draft of my latest book! There are still plenty of notes in the margins, and I still haven't read even one chapter fully through yet, but at least I've filled all the gaps and completed my outline.

95,000 words.

Yay!

Last month, during my challenge to myself to read through books I owned, I made some great progress, found a lot to love, and also found a lot to mark as DNF (“did not finish”). Something about reading outside of my comfort zone made me run into a higher-than-usual number of books that were either [ Read more of this blog post »

You can read all about that here.

I am trying to finish my next book. It's almost done.

I sometimes get asked where the ideas for my children's books come from.

The honest answer is, they can come from almost anywhere.

Sometimes it starts with an animal. Sometimes it is a simple question that makes me think, “What if?”

And sometimes, it begins with a feeling I want a child to experience.

Every Friday is the day to wish everyone Happy POET'S DAY and to share some aesthetics. But usually of a kind that imbues "the romantic ideal." You might ask what this is. Well, my favorite part of the definition I think is best summed up in a great line of verse from a really great poet from yester Read more of this blog post »

Porque hay una fiesta (la historia detrás de la canción)

Hay reencuentros que Dios guarda para el momento justo.

Con José nos conocimos de jóvenes, en esos años en que la fe se vivía cantando. Compartimos horas y horas de alabanza, de guitarra, de charlas que se estiraban hasta cualquier hora. Y como

I attended a fascinating lecture by author Bill Bleyer on the naval history of Long Island. Even before the United States was founded, Patriots carried out the nation's first amphibious landings on Long Island against British strongholds.

As a child, whenever I heard the expression “More than one way to skin a cat,” I knew, despite the gory scene it evoked, that the phrase was meant as a middle-finger gesture (or a V-sign in UK) to authority. Or at least to anyone who was preventing someone from achieving their goal.

Mireille Ravencroft (5 stars): I think what sets To Sing Like a Mockingbird apart is the way it balances big themes with intimate storytelling. Yes, there’s crime, politics, and cartel influence, but at the heart of it is a man trying to stay true to himself in a world that keeps asking him to compr Read more of this blog post »

Baby's Breath by A.D. Aro

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


If you grew up with Point Horror and Fear Street, you would enjoy this book.

The cover itself should tell you that this will be unhinged and the back of the book in its blurb cannot fully convey just what you are going to be reading.

On February 4th, I was scrolling on Facebook and came across a post on my long-time friend Lauren’s page that began with the words, “I have some heartbreaking news.” I thought, “Oh no, what is she going to share? What happened?” She is a huge animal lover and the first thing my mind jumped to was th
