The following will appear as the Afterword for my upcoming novel, Decisive Moment. Though it contains a slight hint of the ending, I don’t think it will spoil the story. All the same, you might want to defer its reading until after you finish the novel. If you know I hold a Christian world-view, after […]

Ghost Writer is born — Now Released!

Sometimes story ideas come at odd and inconvenient times, like right in the middle of writing another story. This is how Ghost Writer‘s idea was born. While working on Beisbol Libre, a novel that brings back Cynthia Spencer into the fray, I found her such a compelling character, I had to come up with another […]

Who do I write for? We should always know our intended audience, I heard somewhere. But even if we intellectually know them, do we consistently and unequivocally write for their benefit?

Why I love eBooks

Before you run away fearing this is some apologetic about how eBooks are better than print books, let me say the following.
