New blog design

So perhaps this wasn’t the best thing to do at 2:00 am this morning, but I downloaded the new Twenty Sixteen WordPress template and tried it out. As you can probably tell, I liked what I saw. Specifically, I like this one because it’s a lot less busy, which probably translates well to mobile devices and… Continue reading New blog design

To publish or submit?

Man, I am so sick right now. Caught a stomach flu from my neice, and it has been going through me like a chainsaw through butter. In any case, things are going fairly well aside from that. Heart of the Nebula is now up for pre-order through November 21st, so you can expect to hear a lot more… Continue reading To publish or submit?

So what should I work on next?

Now that Star Wanderers: Deliverance (Part VIII) is published, I’m back in the position of trying to figure out what to write next.  Usually, I just do this on my own, but this time I thought I’d run it by my readers and see what you guys have to say.  Here are the options: Heart… Continue reading So what should I work on next?

I need to get out of Provo, but where to live next?

It’s been almost six months since I moved back out to Provo, and I don’t think I’ll be staying here much longer.  It’s a great place if you’re a Mormon college student in your early twenties, or married with kids and looking for a nice, quiet place to settle down, but for everything in between… Continue reading I need to get out of Provo, but where to live next?

New book teaser — what do you guys think?

I’m getting ready to publish Star Wanderers: Dreamweaver over the weekend, but first I need to finalize the teaser / book description for Benefactor so that I can include it in the back.  Here’s what I’ve got so far: IN A COLD AND LONELY UNIVERSE, A SIMPLE ACT OF GRACE CAN RESONATE ACROSS WORLDS.
