Okay, so it’s been a while since I’ve been in the Confessional. The tail end of Lent can be a bit busy time for pastor-type people. But now that we’re past Easter, I think it’s time to start wrapping this series up. We’ve got a few more entries to go.…
This may come as a surprise, but when I first conceived of the book that became Failstate, I didn’t see it as a series of any sort. Failstate was going to be a standalone book, a single outing in that universe. When I pitched it to people at the ACFW…

By the time you’re reading this, you’ll only have less than two hours. One hundred twenty minutes. Seven thousand two hundred seconds. 7,200,000 milliseconds. 7.2e+12 nanoseconds.…
As a lot of you know, the publisher who has released all of my novels thus far was bought and eventually rebranded. It’s been interesting watching the transition…well, not exactly from the sidelines, but not from the line of scrimmage either. I’m not exactly sure what sports metaphor I should…
So, yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Wordcount Wednesday report. So here’s what’s been going on: Failstate: Nemesis I’ve been working on the official edit for the third Failstate book, Failstate: Nemesis. Right now, we’re about two-thirds to three-quarters of the way through the manuscript. It’s been…
