Have you accepted the reality of AI yet? A good friend of mine recently repeated a phrase that I have been hearing quite often: the reality is that AI is here to stay. This implies, like it or not, that we had all better get used to it. Now, that does not mean AI is a scary thing, but rather that a new age of technological advancement has suddenly come upon us, and we must again adapt to the changing…
Making new friends was my theme for the Imperial Commissary Collectors Convention (ICCC) last weekend. This post is to say “Thank you!” to everyone who visited my book-signing booth, to those who are now PLANET OF EDEN readers, and to the new friends I made during the three-day fan convention: I hope to be making more new friends by attending other events in the coming months. But for now, it’s back-to-work on my writing and teaching projects. I’ll leave you…

As a science fiction writer, I am absolutely loving all the current news about UFO disclosure. Have you been seeing it in the news? In an effort to create better government transparency, the Trump Administration has been declassifying documents related to past UFO activity and investigations. Far from being definitive regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life, the materials do clearly show that unusual and unexplainable aerial phenomena have been investigated for the past 80 years or so. Then, just last…
They say time flies when you’re having fun. It also flies when you’re busy, and birthdays often can be a stark reminder that another year has just sped past you. Such is the case this week as PLANET OF EDEN turns two years old on May 7. Rather than being nostalgic about the past two years of marketing and selling EDEN, though, I will keep this blog post short. The reason is that I am now writing two novels at…
I would like to express a hearty “Thank you!” to everyone who visited Honey Rock Books and Café during Downtown Gallatin’s annual Square Fest and National Independent Bookstore Day yesterday!

In movies and other entertainment media, artists might hide “Easter eggs” that require a bit of searching to enjoy. Such extras usually include extra content or bonus features, and it can be fun to find them. In PLANET OF EDEN, I even hid a few Easter eggs within the story that are meant as nods to other books, films, or people who have influenced my imagination. If you think you’ve found any, comment below or make contact and let me…
The most beautiful story that can be told is about a heart that has been lifted and restored. Redemption. Salvation. Freedom. Healing. Hope. From the lowest darkness, entering the purest of light. From hopelessly lost, to being lovingly found. Beauty from brokenness. Love from loss. Friends, let me tell you one such story… It was a chilly twenty-third of December in Middle Tennessee, but the sun was shining and my two sons and I were anxious to get out of…
