Focus on Fiction
The fact that my non-fiction and journalistic pieces are imbued with a strong narrative style and flexible assortment of voices is no coincidence.
Story is my passion. However, turning a passion into a living requires a certain understanding of the business, and frankly a lot of homework.
To help other writers along that journey, and to share what I've learned myself, I started and continue to blog at Fiction Matters. After a few short months,
Fiction Matters has become a leading source of publishing news, writing tips, and fiction tools.
Project Kingdom is more than just a piece of tightly told fantasy literature set in a fully realized world - it's a full canvas which I'm using to reflect on my time
in Iraq as well as the social and political worlds which lead up to that and from that conflict. Told through two childhood friends, one a soldier and the other a priest,
the story tackles personal freedoms and responsibility, familial obligations, religion, duty, and patriotism.
