Before I get into the updates and forget to do this, I wanted to mentioned that, once again, I’m offering the entire 4-book set of the Restoration Series (co-authored with Gary Smalley) for only $25, plus $ shipping. These … READ MORE

Folks, I am a happy man today. It’s always a great day when you finish another book. Yesterday, I completed novel #16, Remembering Dresden. What made this day even better was that I finished the 2nd book in my new Jack Turner Suspense series. See, 2 years ago I wasn’t even “allowed” to write suspense novels. Only inspirational ones (like the books I’m mostly known for). I still love writing those, but I wanted to be … READ MORE

Can’t believe it’s been 2 months since I updated my blog. Been very busy. Not just with the holidays but with the release of my new novel, Rescuing Finley (Book 1 of the Forever Home series), and all that goes along with marketing and promoting it (I’m an indie now, have to do all the things my publisher used to do for me). Thought I’d take a few minutes to update you all on what’s been … READ MORE

Then on Monday at the big ICRS event in Orlando (which is still going on), the finalists for the ACFW Carol Awards were announced, as well as the winners for the 2015 Christy Awards. But these weren’t the only award announcements made this week. Family Fiction magazine announced the winners of … READ MORE

Last night I learned some wonderful news. My novel, What Follows After–borrowing a phrase from one of my favorite Christmas movies–won a “major award.” I had posted a few weeks ago that it had been named a finalist for the Selah Award in the historical fiction category. Last night during the awards banquet for the annual Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference, the winners were announced. What Follows After won for best historical fiction! This … READ MORE
