Thank You to Everyone

I just wanted to say a great big thank you to everyone who voted for my various nominations in the recent Preditors & Editors Readers Poll. Many of you, both friends and some lovely people who I hadn't heard from before got in touch with me to say they had voted in support of my work, and I am so grateful to each and every of you. It will probably be early February before the votes have been counted, and anti-fraud and ballot stuffing software has been run by the organizers to weed out any… Continue

Death of the Slush Pile

Clive Cussler pretended to be an agent in order to land his dream agent and avoid the slush pile. He wrote a letter to the person he wanted to represent him, claiming to be a retiring agent, and suggesting he take a look at this promising new author, Clive Cussler, whose submission just came in. Surprisingly enough, the ruse worked and both Cussler and his agent were happy… Continue

Trinity of Despair

Trinity of Despair

There is far too much grief in this world, and most of it is unnecessary. Some believe grief and discord stem from an evil in our midst. Although I agree there is evil, I also believe the reasons for the existence of grief and discord are rooted in other areas I will explain. However, a case can be made, and will be by some, that all bad things are rooted in the great evil that roams our earth; that being the devil, itself. Nevertheless, let’s create and join in, a… Continue

I firmly believe in divine appointments. Thomas wasn't in the room when Jesus met with the disciples on the same evening He arose from the grave. Do you ever wonder why Thomas wasn't present with them?

Remember, this was the same Thomas that… Continue
