With the third Frohic book (Rhats Free!) having just released, it was nice to see this positive review of the prior book show up on Amazon. Thanks, Erin! Glad you enjoyed it.
Happy to recognize another fine independent bookstore where my books can be found: "Novel Blends" in Bowling Green, Ohio! If you're in the area, stop in and grab a book and some excellent coffee! facebook.com/novelblends
A few months back, I posted an image of a part I 3D --printed. Here's images of what it turned into. (Along with a bunch of other parts, gluing, sanding, painting, and some electronics.)
@MikeDuranAuthor Off the top of my head: “Bibi” by Benjamin Netanyahu. “The Devil’s Hand” by Jack Carr, “Infernal Fall” and “Almost Paradise” by Brian Timothy Mitchell, “Lost Bits” by Kerry Nietz.
The Takamo Universe (that my Rhats stories are a part of) has gone through a major rebrand. Check out their new website!
The owner of OtherWorlds Books in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin shared the Author Spotlight stand they set up for me. If you're in the area, stop in and check it out. (And buy a book or two!) otherworldssturgeonbay.com
Miss the themes panel discussion the other night? You can watch it here: storyembers.org/themes-panel/
Fun new cover for the first Rhats book. Available now on Amazon: amzn.to/49Wddla
Something I'm involved in tomorrow: storyembers.org/panel-discussi…
Thanks, Jochen! Glad you're enjoying them!
If you haven't read the first "Rhats!" book yet and were waiting for this before you gave it a try: As of today, my 13-year-old son, Toby, has read it and enjoyed it. He also just snuck the second book, Rhats Too!, off my shelf... (Achievement unlocked! 😀)
My latest newsletter and a new cover! wix.to/NDmVKuL
Call from my Dad this morning: "I just finished the first story in your book (Digital Dreams). Where does that stuff come from? Anyway, I enjoyed it."
I rarely check reviews of my books outside the US. But today (partially because the most recent US review has the encouraging title of "Avoid at all costs" :D ) I decided to check in on reviews from the UK. Glad I did! Here's the last few...
Thanks for the mention, Elizabeth!
Another person learns of "Amish Vampires in Space" for the first time. (H/T reader and world-traveler Sofia Becker)
Nice to hear from you again, Bob! I'm intrigued. @bobsmietana was the first national reporter to mention "Amish Vampires in Space" back in the day. Beat @jimmyfallon by months! 🙂 (His historic article here: tinyurl.com/38pvr598)

Last summer at Realm Makers I decided to spend much of my time mentoring and critiquing. I had around 20 meetings with up-and-coming authors in two days. Enticing glimpses into the amazing worlds these fellow artists are crafting. My most rewarding year ever! Can't wait for more.

Happy to announce that the film option for AViS has been renewed for an unprecedented FOURTH time. With the writers strike now over and more critical steps having been taken, we're hopeful that this is the year that produces an even bigger announcement. 😎Stay tuned.

Slow-motion is awesome. Instead of whining because it is there, start asking why it is there.
Zack Snyder when asked why ‘REBEL MOON’ has so much slow motion: “The obvious answer is: slow motion is awesome. The use of it is a way of just embellishing heroic moments that our heroes go through." (Via: youtu.be/57NwWWDk_0E?si…)
#SellSnyderVerseToNetflix. I will accept no cheap substitutions.

@KerryNietz @RealmMakers @readstevenjames When we talked about costs I considered hotel pricing and travel with it. Should’ve mentioned that. Always forgetting something. 🤓
Not sure who needs to hear this, but: "The Jezebel Spirit" is not a thing. Unless you believe Christians are like Sam and Dean Winchester and can classify demon names/species/attack patterns based on anecdotes and not the Bible. (Anyway, Driscoll made up new definition for it.)

What happened in the mountainous areas of Taiwan during the earthquake on April 3rd, 2024
A good story can transcend poor mechanics. George MacDonald is an example. In the preface to MacDonald’s Lilith & Phantastes, C.S. Lewis commented “Few of his novels are good and none is very good,” but the profundity and innocence of the tales outshone the literary crudity.
Must Scripture alone shape our worldview? What about apologists, great sermons, even tweets? Does our God also use these? Trick question. Our actions reveal we know He does and don't see any conflict here. Tomorrow: @ztrussell and I explore this on #Fantastical Truth @Lorehaven!
@gavinortlund None. No work of fiction should ever change our worldview. As a Christian, my worldview is shaped by Scripture alone.
“The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19:1) All of the panic and conspiracies and jokes about the eclipse have obscured what a testament to God’s handiwork it truly is.
My own eclipse photos are rather humble, just what I could snap on my phone. But we will forever remember this moment when the clouds were rolled back like a scroll, just in time for totality. Incredible answer to prayer.
@EStephenBurnett That was my thought as well. She expressed her views very articulately, but her biblical understanding came off as a caricature.
I only take issue with the woeful negative framing of a supposed biblical view that women are "God's afterthought." What a drastic misread of the Bible in which both men and women together reflect God's very image. Otherwise, essay is on point.
No rational and/or sane person can disagree with anything said by @jk_rowling here. Therefore if you do, you're likely irrational and/or insane
