I meant to write this post on Saturday or Sunday, but it didn’t happen. So now I’m writing it today instead after accidentally posting a teaser this morning (which no longer exists). I’m excited to announce that my Science Fiction/Futuristic short story collection is now published! And the paperback version is coming soon! I ordered my proof copy on Friday and it shipped on Friday. 😀
What’s this collection about? Well, first, here’s the full cover: Continue reading

I posted a bit about David Millican’s debut novel on Monday, but I’m back with an exciting excerpt and a reposting of the giveaway.
Hollis started school the next day so he had gone to bed but later James had told him that Cyrus and he had stayed up late into the morning hours praying for guidance from God. Cyrus was gone by the time Hollis’s classes were done for the day, having decided to return home and face the punishment for his actions. Hollis had marveled over James’s capacity for compassion to those who society thought untouchable. And here he was, on a train taking him to continue James’s work and he was already thinking of himself as better than others. He was already bringing shame on James’s name. Continue reading
…my shiny, new, second blog. In the last couple of weeks, my new venture of blog tour orchestrations has taken off much faster and more prolifically than I ever expected. Because of that, I decided to create a second blog specifically for the blog tours I orchestrate and/or sign up for. This blog will be for all of my personal Writings, Ramblings, and Reflections.
So, if you would like to learn more about new books, please feel free to head over to my new blog, Bookish Orchestrations. My first (real) post will be going up on June 2nd when Aubrey Hansen stops by for her blog tour.
My upcoming cover reveal! If you like scavenger hunts, you’ll like this tour. And if you have a blog and would like to help me announce the cover reveal, you can sign up here.
I think those are all of my announcements I’m willing to make for now. Although, there will be more upcoming, so stay tuned.
David Millican’s debut novel, Frontier Preacher, is now available in eBook and Paperback!
Hollis feared the loneliness would swallow him whole. He had arrived in Wyoming to fulfill his uncle’s dying wish – that he save the people of Gillette – but his education and faith had not prepared him for the bitter cold and hardened hearts of the west. A dark secret in his new home threatens to destroy his very soul. Will Hollis be strong enough to stand against the tide of evil? Can he overcome where stronger men failed, before the west claims another victim?
eBook: www.amazon.com/dp/B017QRMMM8/
Paperback: https://www.createspace.com/6236943

Writings, Ramblings, and Reflections-Giveaway Announcement
Wednesday and today, I have the privilege of having Morgan Huneke on my blog to share about her new book, Espionage. I hope you enjoy learning about it. Today I have a Character Spotlight for Sir Cumberland and Morgan also has a giveaway.
“Sir Roland has invited us to visit for the Autumn Feast.”
“Do we have to go, Papa? I couldn’t feast with the most crooked politician in all of Briznom.”
As the daughter of a Briznomian vassal lord, Vannie Cumberland has spent her childhood immersed in the world of politics. Relations between Briznom and the neighboring country of Calhortz are strained due to the tyrannical rule of the strytes. A proposed alliance could calm relations between the two countries, but would come at the cost of Briznom’s freedom.
When her father’s political archenemy invites them to the Autumn Feast, Vannie uncovers an evil scheme endangering the life of someone close to her. Personal enmity comes to a dangerous head as Vannie struggles to expose the corruption and stop the alliance. Time is running out.
Events are becoming too big for her to handle. Will Sir Roland’s son help or will things finally spiral out of control? Continue reading
