Although the trailers for “The Box” were not flashy or filled with special effects, the premise caught my interest and I had the feeling that this movie would provide a unique experience in some way. I was right.
Within the first 20 minutes of the film, I felt as though I were watching an episode of the classic “Twilight Zone” tv series. A couple experiencing financial frustrations is offered a strange box by an even stranger visitor. They are told that if they press the button on the box, they…

Just recently I was honored to be interviewed by my good friend, Paeter Frandsen. Paeter and I have been friends for a while now, but originally only knew each other through the grapevine at the local church we both attended. Back in those days, I was still penning the first drafts of
Expired Reality and he was putting on a stage production of
Spirit Blade, his acclaimed science fiction/fantasy audio drama.
Besides being a friend, Paeter is also the creator of Spirit Blade Product…

Yippee! The final draft of the novel 'Rescued' is finished. Now comes the two week wait and then an out loud reading of the manuscript. From there it's up to the publisher. I'm exhausted and still have to teach creative writing at the local college tomorrow night. But God is good! He will give me the strength.

Ever have times when worry looms like a huge obstacle?
I’ve been working on my focus and my view of God. According to
NASA, “Scientists estimate that there are more than 100 billion galaxies scattered throughout the visible universe. The Milky Way is a huge city of stars, so big that even at the speed of light it would take 100,000 years to travel across it.”
When anxiety creeps up and sends me reeling, I need to remember that the same God who created the inf…

There are many things that bring a character to life. One is an adequate description of the person and another is emotion. Let’s begin with the description of characters. We need to see the character with our mind’s eye, if possible. For example, Melinda’s description of her father gives you a feel, not only of his physical appearance, but also of his deeper inner self. Read the description of her father and see if you can feel his presence and what he is like deep down inside.
“Her father was…

This last Saturday, I had my very first book signing. Borders Books and Music in Mesa, Arizona was my first spot and I had a blast doing it there. The store staff was more than friendly, the accommodations for my signing were wonderful and I just had a great time overall.
All in all, I ended up selling 15 copies of…

With the main thrust of my publicity efforts for "Pilgrim's Progress" slowing down, I'm finally finding time to give attention to the next project on my list: The Spirit Blade Audiobook!
"But wait a minute. We've got a Spirit Blade Audio Drama. Isn't an audiobook a bit of a step back?"
Not in this case. For one thing, this audiobook is actually the unpublished novel that I wrote which, after numerous changes and restructuring, formed the basis for both Spirit Blade and Spirit Blade: Dark Ritua…

Although I had hoped to speed through my "publicity e-mails" for Pilgrim's Progress in a single day this week, my memory has not served me well regarding how long this sort of thing takes and how I want to approach it. It just takes time, plain and simple.
I'm still hoping to "power through" the bulk of my e-mail publicity stuff this week, but I'm interjecting some other work as well, to prevent me from going insane from the mind-numbing tedium of it all!
Some grand and distant day when I have…
