Growing up, I started telling stories as early as three or four years old. My imagination was so healthy, I am told, that I often acted out full-scale battles between good and evil in the yard . . . by myself.

That said, when struggling for the answer to a question I have about a character, or a plot progression, and how on earth I'm going to reconcile things for a believable, and convincing story, I simply think.

A Door In

Picture Among certain circles of indie speculative fiction writers, it seems a popular topic to think about and talk about the virtues of fiction. This topic is even more popular among Christian speculative fiction writers, I think in large part, because fantasy and science fiction have for some time been controversial in a community that is founded on historical truth. In other words, why would you fill Read more of this blog post »

As he pulled it slowly from its scabbard, it sang softly. With a light all of its own, an emblem at the base of the blade shone most brilliantly of all: Amilum.”
