Six years ago, I published Looking Over Your Shoulder, my first book. Not the first book that I had written by a long shot, but the first book that I decided to share with the world! Since then, I have published another 48 books, along with a number of translations, collections, and audiobooks. ...

I'll read pretty much anything by Orson Scott Card, whether it is in the genres I would normally read or not. I have read the first two books in the Mither Mages series, and although there are many negative reviews for the third book, I am enjoying Gatefather so far. It is similar to C.S. Lewis in some ways in its discussion of the nature of God, the universe, and the role of free choice. ...

I am getting set to release June, Into the Light later this month. It's on preorder on Kindle right now at the special price of $0.99.
