edit data

M.R. grew up in an extremely conservative Christian home in 1990s Burlington, Iowa. In that small bubble of the world, M.R. had very few outside influences that were not other white, straight, Christian people. He was taught that LGBTQ+ people were sinners and that they would burn for eternity simply for being who they are. He was taught that women were not suitable for leadership over men, and they should be seen more as help-mates than equals.

Over time M.R. began to question such teachings, eventually going to Seminary and getting his masters of divinity to assess things for himself. Little did he know that this search would lead to the deconstruction of his religion and everything he was taught about the world.

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

We left for a quick errand and return to find it gone. Not that weird, it probably got toed while we were out.

Then, I remembered something I left in the car and went back outside to get it. In that 5 seconds, the truck reappeared with its tire fixed.

While it's possible that this was all just a very quick repair job, it was eerie how it perfectly matched up with my partner and I's conversation about quantum shifts.

Let the weirdness spread and you've got a decent start to a magical realism novel about paralell and quantum realities. (less)

Why I Write

Every one of us is born under a spell.

This spell gives us our name, determines our physical body, writes the blueprint of our heritage, and chooses which souls we will be raised by. It is a spell we call, birth.

As we grow, the spell grows with us. We test its bonds and are told it does not exist. As time goes on we are more and more convinced that we are the spell... Until we learn to cast a spe Read more of this blog post »
