You may have heard about this new fantasy novel, The Unremarkable Squire, everyone (okay, me) keeps talking about. And you’re probably wondering, Who is this unremarkable squire and why do I care about him if he’s so unremarkable? Let me introduce you to Obed Kainos, a young man with no particular dreams…
Two weeks ago, I was at the Momentum Youth Conference with a dozen youth. This year’s theme was “I Am Second,” or to put it in the words of John the Baptist, “He must become greater; I must become less” (John 3:30). I have at least one selfish way I…
This is the first of what I hope to be a number of blogs about the experience of promoting The Unremarkable Squire. I’m not a natural promoter, by any means, but I figure I can at least write about it as I go along. Last week, I found a big,…
It seems like I’ve been mentioning The Unremarkable Squire for something like a year. (Oh, wait. I have.) But now, it’s time to announce… The Unremarkable Squire is now available! You can get the print version from the publisher, from Amazon, or from your local bookstore. The ebook , from what I…
“I would not have known him, except the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’” -John 1:33 It always interests me that the way Jesus went…

The first three novels of Bron & Calea — The Select’s Bodyguard, The Doctor’s Assistant, and The Well’s Orphan–are now available in one print volume on Amazon! I wrote The Select’s Bodyguard and The Well’s Orphan. The back cover copy: When Bron, bodyguard to the Select, is jolted awake by an explosion, he quickly discovers…
I’ve spent the last week looking over galleys of my novel, The Unremarkable Squire. This stage of publication is a strange one for me. First, I start over-analyzing all my sentences. Is this really the best word here? (Never mind I’ve asked the same question a half-dozen times over as many previous…
Well, this has been a sad, sad website lately. Poor, neglected website…forgive me?

Well, then.) But it’s summer now….
