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…
Have you ever wondered what it would be like living as an alien on Earth? If someone from another planet was to visit here, what would they think of us? Would we look simple-minded to a super-intelligent being? Or would they be impressed with our knowledge and technology? What would our moral flaws say about us? Would the visitor understand our divisions, violence, and wars? Many science fiction novels and films have answered these questions with thought-provoking stories that encourage…
Besides writing, an author’s great delight comes from meeting people who truly enjoy a good story.

Just a very simple post to wish all of my fellow Edenites a very blessed and adventurous Christmas! Thank you for supporting PLANET OF EDEN, my awesome friends. Without readers, a book is merely words on a page. You bring it to life and inspire me to write more. May God richly bless you all during this special time of the year.
If you are a fan of The X-files, you will remember the iconic poster in Agent Fox Mulder’s office of a flying saucer with the words “I Want to Believe” under it. Recently, that image came to mind as I was pondering the Christmas season. Why in the world would you think of that, you ask? Read on! First, I found this story about a new UFO documentary. Have you been following the latest news about UFOs? I mean…UAPs? [Officials…
Thanksgiving Day is upon us here in the US. Despite any setbacks that occurred over the past year, are you still thankful for the good things in your life? I hope so, and I want to give you some encouragement. Even if you’re going through a mess right now, it is appropriate to pause and express thankfulness. Why? Because gratitude expresses faith, and being grateful even in the midst of life’s many storms expresses a strong hope and faith that…
Gallatin Comic Con was truly a special event this past weekend! Since it was my first time participating in a comic con, I was a little nervous about how a science fiction novelist would be received. The people I met, however, were welcoming and supportive. I signed PLANET OF EDEN, talked to fans, and even did a few photo ops! Besides all of that, a few highlights included having my picture taken with cosplayer Rey (Star Wars: The Force Awakens)…
