Give Chase… What’s funny to me, and almost scary, is how God’s Spirit orchestrates circumstances driven by a plan I cannot see. He brought me here, to this place, this moment, to find a post buried in an archive rarely checked, to be a perfectly timed reminder. It’s not snowing yet, but it’s coming… * […]
As an author, I receive a ton of unsolicited messages from a range of folks —most with no selling skills, tact, or limited capabilities —but plenty of promises that almost read as though they were scripted… like an AI bot would support trolling.

The spirit of Big Crow with Little Feet knew of Katherine (Kat) Jackson’s existence long before she knew of him. The connection was spiritual and by blood. He sought her out because Kat had DNA markers from her mother’s side of the family acquired generations earlier through an unknown Puebloan Indian tribe. Kat was utterly […]

Lost I’m writing today, as in most days, highly focused and dialed into a storyline…and, oh look, a squirrel. Perhaps I’ve confused reaching saturation with being highly focused. I had so many tabs open across the top of my browser that I lost count, but what was the point? It was too damn many to choose […]
Author Thoughts – Hey Man! – 081925 I’m unsure how these things happen, but I assure you I attempted to mind my business until it was no longer possible. I concentrated on a glass of dry cabernet when an individual sat next to me…with the appropriate empty chair between us, of course. I knew him […]
