It’s rare to come across a book on Christianity that resonates closely with me. I’ve always felt like I was a little too far outside the mainstream. Not so far that I’d identify with authors that were “heretics”, but far enough that I don’t get gut punched by authors like David Jeremiah or D. James [...]

In Episode 16 I get to interview Jared Wilson about his upcoming book Your Jesus is Too Safe and about his blog/ministry the Gospel Driven Church. Mentioned in this podcast:Let Christians Vote As Though They Were Not Voting Promo played for Are You Just Watching

I’ve been a long time fan of JC Hutchins and this new project sounds like he’s once again jumping in and bending genres and doing cool stuff on the cutting edge of story telling. Horror may not be your bag, but if it is, check this out. “Personal Effects: Dark Art” Book Trailer #1 : [...]

My review of Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. I listen, so you don’t have to! It’s not that it was bad so much so as it just wasn’t good. This cements the notion that I need to write some YA fiction. Surely if Patterson can pump this out, win awards and garner massive sales, I [...]

Horror Podcaster Scott Sigler interviewed on Internet Superstar by Revision3. Great interview by an excellent podcast author. The things he’s talking about are why I am podcasting Archangel and will be podcasting my fiction for the forseeable future.

The Case of the Pitcher’s Pendant: A Billibub Baddings Mystery by Tee Morris is a book I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time.

Double Trouble is the brilliant marketing push that Tee Morris and Pip Ballantine have put together to push their books up the Amazon chart. At 11:00 am EST (which should be now if this works right) you should go to Amazon and BUY THEM! If you’re a fan of fantasy at all I promise you’ll [...]

I read Samson and the Pirate Monks: Calling Men to Authentic Brotherhood as a result of our men’s retreat back in April. As a result of my struggles several books have been recommended to me and none of them really spoke to me the way this one did. It turns out that this book isn’t [...]

I blogged about this before and it looks like I was right. You can get a free thirty minute audio excerpt and a free pdf version. Check Sigler’s site for info. BONUS: 30-minute audio excerpt from Cory Doctor’s new novel LITTLE BROTHER

John Scalzi is doing something pretty cool. He is releasing a shareware short story. Called “How I Proposed to My Wife: An Alien Sex Story”. Basically you can download the story, pay for it if you want to, don’t if you don’t. Now granted this isn’t particularly a new idea. Cory Doctrow does it after [...]
