I just realized today is the first anniversary of the publication of Dawn of the Lightbearer, book one of the Absolution of the Morning Star series (July 2, 2021)! I wasn’t planning on writing a blog post, but I couldn’t let this momentous occasion pass without saying something. To date, it is my best-selling bookContinue reading “Happy 1st birthday Dawn of the Lightbearer!”

Fall from grace
Recently, I was scrolling through the blogs I follow, which I do once or twice daily (got to support my people). It is an endless list of promotions, author interviews, reviews, sample chapters, synopsis, life lessons of the struggling author, etc. I suddenly became overwhelmed by it all. I realized I wasn’t just skimming overContinue reading “Fall from grace”
Rest and refuel
I just got back from a much-needed vacation. My wife and I were planning to go to Greece, but over COVID my passport had expired without me noticing, and it took about two months to renew- not conducive to booking a flight during this crazy time. So, undeterred, we rented a car and stayed inContinue reading “Rest and refuel”
Zombie no more
Why am I compelled to write? What is this incessant drive that pushes me to spend hours each day crafting a story? Why do I put myself through the stress, loneliness, and frustration? I honestly don’t know. But the question of why I can’t sit and binge-watch Netflicks like everyone else? Ah, now there’s anContinue reading “Zombie no more”
Trip down memory lane
Has it really been two years since I started this rigamarole? According to WordPress, it has. After my latest post, I was checking my stats when a little message sent me down memory lane. Gosh, what a journey. I published my feeble attempt at a website on April 1st, 2020. Since February of that year,Continue reading “Trip down memory lane”
Stepping out of the cabin
I’m facing the decision of sending one of my books off to professional reviewers and book bloggers, and I’m terrified. I know this is a crucial rite of passage in an author’s journey. It is the only way to build confidence in my work and increase exposure, but the unknown is a daunting hurdle. It’sContinue reading “Stepping out of the cabin”
My day job
Some have asked me about my day job. As much as I don’t want to think about work on the weekend, it is probably a good idea to offer a bit about what I do when I’m not writing as it makes up a large part of my day. As you might have seen fromContinue reading “My day job”
Break free!
Sometimes the more you try to write, the harder it is to write. Two days ago, I found myself in this rut. Since my last post, I had been working on a chapter that didn’t want to come into being. I would write a sentence and then spend hours researching. When the research wasn’t fruitful,Continue reading “Break free!”
Happy Father’s Day!
First off, Happy Father’s Day for all the fathers out there! I hope you’re still able to have a festive day even with social distancing. The Slaying of the Bull (Book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels Series) has been out for a full week, and things are going reasonably well. Although still far from anContinue reading “Happy Father’s Day!”
Reducing blogs
I will be cutting back on the daily blogging temporarily. Instead, I will post weekly or biweekly updates. I need to focus on getting the Slaying of the Bull (book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels series) up to snuff and published, and spending an hour (or more) each morning on writing a blog is notContinue reading “Reducing blogs”
