“But Max!” you protest, “Why on earth would you do that?”

I looked around today, and saw a world in need of God honoring stories. It’s getting crazy out there. So, here is my small contribution to help bring some sanity. Love you all! I hope you enjoy The Rhise of Light!

To anyone who’s interested, the hardcover of The Rhise of Light on Amazon is deeply discounted to almost $7 dollars (normally 21.99). Amazon says they have 12 left, so first come, first serve!

Let me know if you like it! Thank you for reading!

If you could have one object from a book series that you’ve read, what would it be and why?

Home stretch! Just passed 100k words!

I want to write, but I also want to deep dive into the Logos Bible Study App. That thing has officially replaced Youversion for me! I highly recommend it.

Happy Father’s Day to all the Goodreads dads! May your jokes be hilarious, and your grilled food perfectly cooked!

Happy Pentecost Goodreads!

Thank you to all the military people who have lost life and limb defending this country. Your service and sacrifice is appreciated beyond what I can describe.

I’m gonna brag on my boys for a bit!

My sons, Cameron and Aiden, both tested in the 99th percentile for their end of year homeschool exams for Math and English! Proud papa here!

A father and son go to a local library and ask the librarian if they have a fiction book in stock. They don’t know the title, though.

The librarian asks what the book is about. The father replied, “It’s Pavlov’s dog and Schrödinger’s cat going on adventures.”

The librarian says, “It rings a bell, but I don’t know if we have it or not.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Goodreads Moms!

Act Two: The Reckoning first draft completed! 72k words and counting!

Goodreads update for iPhone: yay!
Still can’t post memes or gifs easier: boo!

Me: Dude, I’m taking this away, because we told you multiple times it’s not a toy.

Cam: I know, I’m sorry. It’s just hard not to fidget when you have HDMI.

*pause*

Me: You mean ADHD?

Cam: Yeah, that! What’s HDMI?

As Duamé Onyxwill would state in exclamation, “Flint an’ feldspar!”

Remember that the co-founder of Earth Day Ira Einhorn murdered his girlfriend.

It’s much easier and more sensible to just follow the Bible when it comes to earth preservation.

“if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬

My testimony was made into a documentary/interview! Check it out on Project Revelation!

If Goodreads had a tagline it would be:

‘You like Tolkien and…’

I got asked the other day if I knew any ghost writers.

I told them all the authors I personally know are alive and well.

Happy Resurrection Day Goodreads!

Tonight at 6pm EST I have the honor and privilege to be a guest on THE Dr. Mike Spaulding’s broadcast! Come join the fun as we discuss the Darkness Overcome series!

https://www.YouTube.com/c/DrMikeSpaul...

I am honored to be able to record my testimony of faith and my encounter with the demonic with Biblical researcher Mike Stibs tomorrow! One of two Mikes that I am scheduled to talk to this month.

The other Mike is none other than Dr. Mike Spaulding! Pastor, author, host, speaker, evangelist, and all around warrior for Christ! I’ll be on his show later in the month. Stay tuned for show links!

Today is a 60oz cup of coffee kind of day.

If you want to have a nice awards show, make one for authors.

Crazy outfits at the awards would either be casual attire, or costumes as characters. Delightful books of multiple genres would be shown to add to TBR lists. Best of all, no drama. All that’s been written in our books so there’s no tomfoolery at the award show.

I’m trying to help my son with his language homework, specifically independent and dependent clauses. He starts writing about how people think zombies are real, but they don’t exist in nature.

Then it turns into science class as I explain about cordyceps fungus and zombie insects. Suddenly I’m a cool dad again, at the expense of my kids not wanting to go outside. 😂

In the millennial kingdom and subsequent new heaven and earth, I hope that somewhere in that vast span of time I can finally sit down and devote more time to reading.
