NOW AVAILABLE: Hall of Mirrors

My new e-book, "Hall of Mirrors" is now available on a number of platforms (Kindle, Apple, Nook, etc.) for $0.99! This short story has a twist....

YOU CHOOSE THE ENDING!

A young man with a roving eye goes to a carnival and finds temptation in the form of a mysterious young woman. He has a choice to make...but what does he choose? With two possible endings, his fate is in the hands of the readers in this allegory about temptation.

October Thrills and Chills: E-books for FREE through 10/31!

October. On the one hand, it officially puts summer in the rear view mirror (sad for me, but maybe not so much for other people). On the other hand, October has a lot to offer. Playoff baseball. Football. Pumpkins. And of course, that one day at the end of the month that sometimes sparks so much debate in Christian circles.

No matter your stance on Halloween, all the spooky, scary, and suspenseful movies that come on TV in conjuction with it can be a lot of fun to watch. October is a prime month for that genre. With that said, I'd like to introduce Tinnie Press' October Thrills and Chills promotion.

Through the month of October, I am making two of my e-books--The Watchman Chronicles and The Siege of Peter Marak--available for FREE! From now through 10/31/2020, you can download both of these e-books without having to pay a single penny. 

Just follow this link, and download your free e-book(s). Then, if you don't mind, post a review on Goodreads or on the website for your e-book platform. Happy reading!

The Siege of Peter Marak is NOW AVAILABLE!

The re-released version of "The Siege of Peter Marak" is now available for purchase as an ebook on a number of online retailers (Kindle, iBooks, Nook, Kobo, etc.) for $0.99. 

What is your greatest fear? What if someone else's life depended upon you facing that fear?

After losing his wife to pneumonia, Peter Marak develops a fear of germs and quarantines himself to his home. One night, a coughing woman knocks on his door, begging him to open it because a dangerous man is on the loose, leaving him with a terrible choice....

RE-RELEASE: "The Siege of Peter Marak" available 7/7/2020

On Tuesday, July 7th, "The Siege of Peter Marak" will be re-released and will be available for purchase as an ebook on a number of online retailers (Kindle, iBooks, Nook, Kobo, etc.) for $0.99. 

What is your greatest fear? What if someone else's life depended upon you facing that fear?

After losing his wife to pneumonia, Peter Marak develops a fear of germs and quarantines himself to his home. One night, a coughing woman knocks on his door, begging him to open it because a dangerous man is on the loose, leaving him with a terrible choice....

This story was originally published in "Fear and Trembling" (issue 43, Nov. 2011). As with many of my short stories, it features elements of both Frank Peretti and "The Twilight Zone." I originally wrote this story after having a severe bout of pneumonia in March of 2011. Now, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fears that so many of us face as a result, it seems that the time is right to re-release this title. I think you'll agree.

Update: "Watchman Chronicles" now available!

"Watchman Chronicles" is now available for purchase as an ebook on a number of online retailers (Kindle, iBooks, Nook, Kobo, Scribd, etc.) for $1.99. It contains two previously published short stories, "The Watchman" and "The Widows Greer." Here's the blurb:

Glenn Sanders expected his life to change when he left the big city to take over a small town newspaper. However, he never expected to be anointed the Watchman of Crayton, a modern-day prophet charged with confronting evil, including a supernatural plague of gnats and a widow who is not what she appears to be...

As I have mentioned before, "Watchman Chronicles" is a little bit Frank Peretti, and a little bit "Twilight Zone." Both stories deal with similar themes: Good vs. evil. How one person's sins can affect others in unexpected ways. The importance of somebody standing up for what is right. The "Watchman" title comes from Ezekiel 33:7-9.

"Watchman Chronicles" releases on 6/16/2020

On Tuesday, June 16, 2020, "Watchman Chronicles" will be available for purchase as an ebook on a number of online retailers (Kindle, iBooks, Nook, Kobo, etc.) for $1.99. It contains two previously published short stories, "The Watchman" and "The Widows Greer." Here's the blurb:

Glenn Sanders expected his life to change when he left the big city to take over a small town newspaper. However, he never expected to be anointed the Watchman of Crayton, a modern-day prophet charged with confronting evil, including a supernatural plague of gnats and a widow who is not what she appears to be...

Both of them were previously published in online magazines. "The Watchman," the first story I ever got paid to publish, ran in Dragons, Knights, and Angels back in 2007. "The Widows Greer" was published in Residential Aliens in August 2010.

It's a little bit Frank Peretti, and a little bit "Twilight Zone." Both stories deal with similar themes: Good vs. evil. How one person's sins can affect others in unexpected ways. The importance of somebody standing up for what is right. The "Watchman" title comes from Ezekiel 33:7-9.

Update on "Wesley Winter Book #3"

Just thought I'd take a minute to give an update on my progress with Book #3 of my Wesley Winter series, tentatively titled "Sins of the Fathers." If you've read the other two books in the series, "Dead of Winter" (2015) and "Valley of the Shadow" (2016), then you probably know that this book has been a long time coming...and still isn't done yet.

Time constraints have been a challenge, but so has finding the right balance. I want to tie up all the loose ends of the first two books in a satisfactory manner, but I also want to leave the door open for the possibility of more stories in the future. If you compared books to TV shows, I guess you could say I'm going for a "season finale" feel as opposed to a "series finale."

As it stands right now, as of 6/3/2020...I am roughly 120 pages/32,000 words into "Sins of the Fathers." Assuming the length of the finished product would be comparable to the first two books, that puts me somewhere between a little over one-third of the way done, but not quite to the halfway mark. In comparison to where I am in terms of what I have planned, that sounds about right.

I'll post updates periodically--it will definitely help keep me motivated! Thank you for your continued support!
