  • Are You Becoming More?

    Are You Becoming More?

    Professionally speaking, do you want to get better, or just be paid better?  (Of course everyone wants to be paid better.) As a husband and father of three Catholic school students, I know I do.  We all have a list of needs that a few extra bucks could be put towards.  But are you hoping…

    I’m SO ready… for Lent!

    In the blink of eye I looked up and saw it was the first week of February (already?!?).  Picking at my field greens and sipping my soup, I mentioned to my friend, a fellow authorpreneur, that January blew by like a freight train.  She lit up in agreement, and mentioned how that reinforced her decision…

    Set Goals Worth Fighting For!

    If you’re anything like me you’ve been thinking a lot these past couple weeks, gearing up for the new year.  As I get older, I start the self-reflection and personal inventory process earlier each year.  When I was a college grad, I made my “new goals” list between Christmas and New Year’s.  This year it started…

  • #13 Make Room at Your Inn for the Holy Family, with the Nativity Stones Collection

    Ever wonder what it would have been like to be present at the Nativity?   For me, thoughts of darkness and the cold, hard ground, the hay, the sounds and smells of the animals with a peasant family huddled in the midst of it all, come to mind.  People travel from all over the world…

  • #12 Finding Hope Now…on your small screen & in your heart!

    Finding Hope Now (FHN) is a new DVD available online, in Christian book stores everywhere and even Walmart in select markets.   It stars Michael Badalucco and Avan Jogia.  Released in 2010 to critical acclaim at film festivals, the tense and emotional independant drama finally landed the distribution deal it’s producers had been searching for.

    The Eyewitness Book Trailer (where’d they get that actor?)

    These days, book promo videos, teasers or trailers are becoming quite common.  Thanks to Patrick Brogdon and Chance McClain at StarStateSounds, we now have one for Eyewitness. Even though my writing is coming together, I think you’ll agree with me that I need some practice at this on-camera thing. Let me know you’re thoughts My…
