I am tickled when I receive artwork inspired by my books. It’s so touching. Well, I’ve decided to start sharing them with you all more often. I figure, why should I get to be the only one to see it? Here is a map of Er’Rets drawn by Noah for his 8th grade English assignment.… Continue Reading
Trevn’s Map of Er’Rets
It has come to my attention that I never posted Trevn’s map of Er’Rets on my website for all to see. It was part of The Reluctant King ebook, so I must have been thinking of that ebook when I thought I’d already shared it with the world. So, without further excuses, here is THE… Continue Reading
My 2017 Christy Awards and Art of Writing Conference Report
When I heard that King’s Folly had finaled for this year’s Christy Awards, I was tickled pink. But I was totally not going Nashville. Gut-honest confession time: I really don’t like award ceremonies. Don’t get me wrong. This isn’t about whether or not I’ll win. It is a huge honor to be nominated, but as a total introvert, sitting… Continue Reading
The “I’m Going to Nashville” Book Sale
Last week I found out that King’s Folly is a finalist for the 2017 Christy Awards. Yay! I’m so excited and honored. 😀 In past years, the awards banquet was held during the International Christian Retail Show, but the Christy Award is now run by the The Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA), so this year’s event… Continue Reading
The 2017-2018 #MyBedsideTableTBRChallenge
I have a book due in a week, so I’m constantly procrastinating. (Why I do this, I’ll never know.) Anyway… I cleaned my bedside table and commiserated over the 41 books, some of which are brand new, but some have been there for +/- five years. I thought, “Hey… I should try and read all… Continue Reading
Join My New Street Team
I usually put together a new launch team each time I have a book coming out. Instead of doing that work over and over, I’ve decided to switch tactics and create a Street Team. What is a Street Team, you ask? Allow me to explain. My Street Team is an exclusive group specifically for readers… Continue Reading

Something Fabulous This Way Comes On 10-2-17
I’m gearing up to launch something new in my world that I hope many of you will enjoy. It’s specifically for writers, so it won’t appeal to everyone. But if you readers have a writer in your life, they might find some value in my new endeavor. It’s just a little over a month away,… Continue Reading
Oregon Christian Writers 2017
Last week I got to attend, teach, mentor, and learn at the 2017 Oregon Christian Writers summer coaching conference. It was my last big writing conference of the year, and it was a wonderful time. The summer OCW conference takes place each year at the Red Lion Hotel on the River–Jantzen Beach, which isn’t far… Continue Reading
Some Fabulous Blood Of Kings Fan Art
It’s been far too long since I posted any fan art. It is such a great compliment when I hear that one of my books inspired a reader to create art of their own. I get giddy just thinking about it. These two drawings came from Rebekah. Both were inspired by the Blood of Kings novels.… Continue Reading
I Went To Realm Makers 2017
I am the luckiest author alive. Why, you ask? Because I was asked to teach the teen track at this years Realm Makers conference. It was amazing. I had three, two-hour sessions with my class, plus a separate two hours in which we all got to play various video games and eat pizza. Here are… Continue Reading
