The Hope of Inheritance - Cover Art Competition

Greetings, 

I am excited to announce that my upcoming release, The Hope of Inheritance, was entered into at least one competition. This particular competition is a cover art competition. The contest is through clean fiction magazine and there are some other really good covers entered as well. 

When the idea for The Hope of Inheritance came bursting through my imagination, I was quite literally shocked. Writing a book about the persecution believers faced in Rome after the great fire of 64 AD was not something I wanted to do.  I wrote the prologue before The Cyprus Journal was even an idea, and it was terrifying. 

 Greetings,

It's time for a sneak peek of the newest story from The World of Kedoshim, The Hope of Inheritance...

I cannot wait to get this story out into the world. I have been working on this book for a very long time. I mean we are talking, I wrote the Prologue at the end of 2023. So we are more than a year down the road on this project and let me tell you, it has become something bigger than I ever thought it would be. 

More to Come Soon and I'll see you in the pages,

The Ephesus Pages: A Journey Begins

 
Greetings, 

I'm so excited to let everyone know that The Ephesus Pages: A Journey Begins is now available for download.  It is crazy to think that this story started off as an eight-part mini-series and has now developed into three different parts of the same story. While Part I: A Journey Begins released today, Part II: Mysteries in Ephesus is still being written and should be ready in the first quarter of 2025. It will be uploaded as additional content to the story that released today when the time is right. 

The Ephesus Pages- Authors Note

Greetings, 

I thought that for today's post, I would share a bit about why my upcoming release was written. Without further delay, this is the Authors note. The Ephesus Pages Part I: A Journey Begins is live as a Pre-Order right now and will be released on my oldest daughter's birthday 12/20/24. I hope you will check it out for yourself. 

Its Time for an Update

Greetings, 

Well, my dear friends! It has been quite some time since I updated this website, and I'm sorry to say that. After the release of the first 10 Episodes of my next story, The Ephesus Pages, I began focusing on a secret project for my kids that requires a Pen Name, leaving everyone wondering where in the world I had gone. 

The Characters of The Cyprus Journal

It is finally time to make the big reveal. The Cyprus Journal is now out and ready for anyone to grab and the cast is listed below. I am so excited about this story, and I can't wait to keep building the World of Kedoshim. 

Kedoshim: A Journey Remembered (Prologue)

Greetings, 

This is the first scene I wrote for the Kedoshim Story World. There are likely a good amount of things that can and should be reviewed, but it was the very beginning of this dream...

Finding Philemon: Lessons Learned

Greetings, 

One of the things I've always desired to do in my career as a writer has been to publish a blog post or to record a video of the lessons I learned throughout the writing process and how those lessons impacted my life, whether it be in the spiritual sense, the emotional sense, or even the educational sense. I have to be honest here, I fully intended to have this post up last week. I failed to put the time aside to do that though. I am glad though, because it gave me more time to reflect on all the things that have taken place in 2023.

Finding Philemon: The Foundation

Greetings, 

One of the Questions I've been asked about Finding Philemon is "How did you even come up with this story?" Let me tell you, that is two long stories in itself to write in a blog post like this, but I did want to hit the highlights for those who are interested in my process. There were several contributing factors in how this all came to be, but it all started back in 2015. 

Building The World of Kedoshim - Part Three (Tying Everything Together)

Greetings, 

This is the final posting on The World of Kedoshim for the time being. I'm sure there will be more as time allows, but once this is published, I have a number of other blogs to write about Finding Philemon, my Episodic Series, and other stories. If you have not read Part One and Part Two of this series, I encourage you to do so. There is so much to this world to build and those posts will give you a pretty good idea of where it all came from. Today, I'm going to share some information about the future of Kedoshim.

Building The World of Kedoshim - Part Two (What is Kedoshim?)

Greetings, 

I fully intended on writing this post much sooner than right now, but honestly, I got pulled so far into this world, that I actually just completed the next story in 'The World of Kedoshim.'  Finding Philemon has been completed for some time, but during the month of November I challenged myself to write 50,000 words before the end of the month. Shocking even myself, I wrote a whole story; The Cyprus Journal. This is a story about John Mark and Barnabas in, you guessed it, The Island of Cyprus! 

That, my dear readers, is for another post though. This post is about the Origins of Kedoshim. I've had this in my head just bursting to get out since I posted part one of this series, Building The World of Kedoshim - Part One (Introductions). Please feel free to read that post before continuing to read on. 

The Cyprus Journal: Book Description

One Young Man. His Significant Story. A Witness of the Early Church.

A young man once called John, now much older and called Mark, spent years serving those close to the one called Savior. His life, seemingly insignificant, had more purpose than most may realize. Was he one of the Original Founders? No, but he was with them and earned his place among them. This is where his story began, and also where it may have ended.

The World of Kedoshim: Series Summary

The World of Kedoshim:

Kedoshim (Holy Ones) is a fictional world inspired by Biblical Events. Within Kedoshim, you will discover the stories of historical figures, both well-known and lesser-known, who contributed to building the Early New Testament Church. This is their journey, and the roots of those who are more widely recognized, shaping the world as we know it today.

"Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God's people." Philemon. 1:7 NLT

Building The World of Kedoshim - Part One (Introductions)

Greetings, 

I am so excited to share this post with you today! I will likely be doing a video on this soon as well for Facebook. But let's lay it out here and now because this is an epic story. 

Finding Philemon- Character Profiles

I am excited to begin releasing these for my first Episodic Series, Finding Philemon. This story is very close to my heart and I can't wait for all 18 episodes in the series to be out there for the world to read and enjoy. 

The story itself was written back in 2017 and placed on a shelf until 2023 when inspiration struck and I revitalized the entire story.  I will be adding more of these profiles as I finish them. In the meantime feel free to check out the first half of the series on Amazon or check out my Facebook Page.
