As Christians, we are called to glorify God in all that we say and do. As Christian writers, this calling extends into the work that we create, whether it's fiction or nonfiction. As someone who hasn't written nonfiction, I will not be discussing that branch of literature—though I'm sure it's obvious how one could … Continue reading GENRE ~ What Christian Writers Should Be Aware Of

Words We Wrote
I don't usually post poetry on here. And I don't really intend to make it a habit. But these words popped into my head when showering the other night; I was laughing at the memories of my writing buddies and I discussing our characters; people we know who share the character personalities or people we've … Continue reading Words We Wrote
Why Christians Should Not Read Smut
If you're reading this, I'm already surprised. Why? Because most people will probably a) not read because they're afraid I might get explicit because of the title, b) don't want to be preached at, c) already think they know what I'm going to say and not read it anyway. However, if you are reading this, … Continue reading Why Christians Should Not Read Smut
Is God Good?
As a Christian, I get confronted with this question a lot. And not just by other people, but also by myself. Life is hard, okay? Not just as a Christian, but as anyone living in the broken world we live in, life is hard. For some, it's harder than most. And when bad things happen, … Continue reading Is God Good?

You are probably sick of reading these. Or maybe you're like me and curious about people and so these are actually very interesting to read. Either way, I'm not sure how many of you remember the end-of-the-year post I made for 2018, but if you want to read it, here it is: 2018 ~ A … Continue reading 2019: A Year and a Decade Gone
A Key Comparison
One of the things I have observed over the last few months is the odd similarities between writing and piano tuning. If you know anything about either, you might be laughing. But it's no joke. As some of you know, back in August I took up a piano tuning apprenticeship. It's been challenging, there's so much … Continue reading A Key Comparison
Oath of the Outcast Blog Tour
Hey everyone! Today I have the privilege of featuring C.M. Banschbach and her newly released book, Oath of the Outcast on my blog. My preordered and signed copy just arrived a few days ago! A lost brother. An unwilling outlaw. A rising enemy. An unusual alliance. Years ago, Rhys MacDuffy was brutally cut off from his … Continue reading Oath of the Outcast Blog Tour
