    I’ve Never Cried for a Book Release Before…

    I’ve never cried for a book release before, until about 1 o’clock this morning, and then again around 9:00 AM while drinking my morning coffee. (And if I’m being honest, I’ll probably cry again before the day is up) I’ve spent the last five years publishing or actively working to publish books. In that time, Continue reading

    All the Books I Read in 2024

    2024 was a year to remember, for so many different reasons. From travels to life changes to career milestones, it had it all—and there were even a few good books in there too! In fact, I would go so far as to say there were ONLY good books in 2024. Every single book that I Continue reading

    Finding Your Mission: A Christian Author’s Journey

    Mission is such an interesting word. When I see the word “mission” I think of two things. The first is the twenty-one historic California Spanish missions built between 1769 and 1833.
