Writing Update June 2023

This summer is shaping up to be a work one. Between publishing books, Stacy’s markets with FlannelnChubs, and other work to keep the bills paid, we will likely be staring at the computer screen until our eyes go blurry. That being said, we will need to do our best to get out to the beach […]

Writing Update March 2023

Happy (almost) Spring everyone! The trees are budding, and we are just about to the end of maple sap collection time in the great white north.

We have collected over 55 gallons of sap from our trees, and now have the task of boiling it down to syrup. With the amount of effort we put into it, sometimes I think it’s just better to get it at Costco.

But there’s something magical about begin a part of the process…

Demon Tide Chapter Three

Matt’s eyes fluttered open as the door to his room creaked. Bennet poked his head through the door. His dark curly hair had grown almost a full inch, as he had.

“You going to sleep all day, Maps?”

“Hey, Cat.” 

Matt stretched, sitting up. ‘Cat’ was the nickname the others had given him because of his quick reflexes. But the name really stuck when he ended up chasing off a…

Demon Tide Chapter Two

The SUV hummed softly as it worked its way up the long inclines. Matt had really no idea what to expect at the property. He only knew that if it had been owned by his grandfather, it was probably going to be interesting—and perhaps even mysterious. One thing would certain, however, and that would be that life would be very different…

Writing Update February 2023

Demon Tide book #2 is now complete! It’s been several months since diving into the first chapters, and frankly I am glad to wrap this one up. Not that it was boring, or the writing getting tedious, but the last few chapters really tested my writing abilities.

I promised myself when I began writing that I would always grow as an author, so I’ve been

Demon Tide Chapter One

“You’re going to miss the window! Do it now!” Matt repeated, watching Ambrose’s drone race past the halfway mark. His was now almost a full two seconds in front of Luca’s drone.

Luca’s hand trembled as he flipped the switch. The drone, as if fueled by an impossible power, screamed forward, leaving the other trailing racers in its wake. With the finish line seconds away, Luca took the last turn with clumsy but incredible speed, now inches behind Ambrose…

Writing Update January 2023

This update will be short and sweet, because I want to get back to it. Why, you ask? Aren’t you a writer? Destined to fill page upon insufferable page with useless fantasies and bland dialogue? Well, yes…

A Doctor Who Christmas

This Christmas, instead of turning on the Roku to find a Christmas movie, why not listen to an audio drama by candlelight? Imagine this: You brew a cup of coffee, grab the leftover bag of Christmas cookies, turn off the lights and light a candle or two, and snuggle down in a blanket while you listen to Doctor Who…

Writing Update December 2022

Christmas is only a day away. Ready or not, the presents should be wrapped, the seventh trip to the grocery store completed, and the house cleaned (mostly). Snow for Christmas? Well, for many of us, that’s an understatement.

Hopefully the stress of the season doesn’t get you too down. With all of the effort to make the season perfect, we can often overlook the need to pause and reflect on what truly matters. We’ve all heard it before, that Christmas should be a time for rest, quality time with family, and a reflection of what the Creator God did for his people…
