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

Pre-race rituals are important, especially after hour-long bus rides, so I pitstopped at the empty bathroom beneath the bleachers. I was wearing my blue and white Friendswood track gear - running shorts, singlet, spikes. I'm not sure what Achilles looked like the day he defeated Hector, but I certainly looked nothing like him as I checked to make sure my hair looked cool in the broken mirror. Cool enough, I thought. As I was about to make my exit, a group of older athletes - shotputters, discus tosser, leg breakers - walked into the bathroom. One of them picked up a broom handle and said, "Man, you came to the wrong bathroom." One of them turned out the light, and the last thing I saw was the four imposing figures walking toward me. /// I stayed calm, I prayed, and I'm not sure why I did this, but I walked right toward where they had been in the darkness. I should have bumped into one, if not all, of those boys, but I didn't. I opened the door on the other side and light flooded in. I did not look back. One quick turn and I was headed up the ramp that led to the track, which was bustling with people. I should've been beaten to a pulp below the football stands at LaMarque that day, but instead I ran my heat and made it to the finals. Now you tell me what sort of divine interference God ran that day. He didn't interfere about a year later when I was beat to a pulp at a football game, but that's okay. I learned a lot about anger, racism, and forgiveness from that dark time, and now I've shared this one, which still confounds me. (less)

- The third Tully Harper book, which follows Tully on a mission to save a doomed moon. He'd much rather be fighting alongside his friends on Earth against (drum roll) the Lord Ascendant. Sorry, Tully. Something inside you is broken, and you've got to save the moon before you can attempt to save your home world.
- An album. More details later this year.
- Poems. Always poems.

I Did Not Want To Write This

Hello everyone!

I can't believe it's been so long since I last updated my blog. Time has just flown by and I've been so busy working on the final book in my Tully Harper series. I'm happy to announce that I'm actually in Las Vegas right now, working on the book and having a great time.

Did you know that Las Vegas is home to the largest public display of space artifacts in the world? The National At Read more of this blog post »

“PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.

GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.

PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?

GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.

GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
