New serialized story!
It’s been a while, but I released a new book! Well, not a book exactly, but a serialized story. (Worked for Charles Dickens, right?) With Amazon’s launch of the new Kindle Vella platform, my story, Sprocket: A Digital Entity, is live starting today! Check it out and let me know what you think. The first 3 episodes are free.

| Pretty good so far. This book fits into the dystopian genre well, which has become my favorite in recent years. The style is similar to writers such as Franklin Horton, A. American, and Tom Abrahams. Although brief, this book captured my attention an ...more | |

| I quite enjoyed this novel. Often, series that make it to a 7th book (8th if you consider Mage of No Renown as part of the series) become stale and go off in too many different directions. Not so with Ritual of Ruin, as it does a great job of staying ...more | |

| If Frank Peretti and Tom Clancy were to get together to write a novel, I imagine it would be something like this. While unabashed with elements of violence and fear, Dark Intercept did well to limit foul language and sexual content. As a Christian my ...more | |

| A good continuation of a great series, although the ending felt a little abrupt. I was expecting more of the plot to be revealed when the book ended. Guess I'll need to wait for Book 13 to find out what happens next. ...more | |
“Who should we be trying to make the most proud? Our family? Our friends? Our teachers or bosses? What about the one who molded us out of the earth itself, who formed us like clay, and instilled within us the very breath of life that shaped the universe?”

“Fiction gives us a reach into the lives of individuals that would otherwise be but a closed door. If we are gifted with a desire to tell tales, then we should tell them . . . if only to reach but a few.”

“Heart isn’t something you find in soap operas and Harlequin novels. It’s that pure essence–sheltered deep inside–that occasionally makes its way to the surface. Give heed lest it ever trend to waste.”

“Every good book should be entertaining. A good book will be more; it must not be less. Entertainment…is like a qualifying examination. If a fiction can’t provide that, we may be excused from inquiring into its higher qualities.”
