A great book review for “Why Am I Still A Christian?”, published October 31st of this year. Available on Amazon. Thanks Dan Barnett for your insightfully wonderful review!

Original Poetry by me, arranged by Ai into an Indie Rock exploration of the depictions and costs of self-worship, using satire and abstract lyrics. This has been an interesting odyssey of sorts.

Yep… I took all the chaos, cravings, and emotional damage of Thanksgiving and turned it into music. 😂 AI handled the vocals — but the humor, storytelling, and absurdity? That’s all me...it's a hobby of mine.

If you need a laugh (or a soundtrack to distract your relatives from hot-button topics), it’s live now:

Tell me which song cracked you up the most!

A message to all you Christmas lovers out there...since there aren't a lot of songs out there for Thanksgiving, an AI album is being released this November 27 (because it is a fun hobby of mine) on my YouTube page: https://tinyurl.com/bp8m3t2t to make you laugh and fall in love with Thanksgiving before Christmas comes. Perfect for that moment when you loosen your belt and everyone is too stuffed to move.😜

I can’t tell you how hard it is to get noticed out here, but when you do…

Hey friends — I could really use your help!
My novel Secrets of Silver & Steam is up on Amazon, and I’m hoping to gather more reviews to help it reach new readers.

If you enjoy adventure, mystery, and a touch of steampunk, please check it out here: https://tinyurl.com/mr2hvwpd

Even a few sentences sharing what you thought makes a HUGE difference for indie authors like me. (You don’t have to buy it again if you’ve already read it — just leave your honest thoughts!)

Thanks so much for your support — it means the world. 🙏

Almost here! Release date is still October 31 on Amazon. Looking forward to Halloween for more than just the candy.

COMING OCTOBER 31, My new book "Why Am I Still a Christian? is a raw memoir about surviving toxic religion, personal tragedy, and doubt—yet somehow still finding Jesus in the middle of it all. It’s honest, funny, and unfiltered. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith or wondered why anyone would stay Christian after so much hurt, this book is for you.”

Tuesday was pretty magical in getting a nice boost in the local paper. Thank you Dan, for your review!

An interesting project I have in the works. I had a dream about the lyrics and decided I should turn it into an AI song, where I am now working on a full book-length story. My brother calls it a fever dream, but as far as I can tell, it's hilarious and fun to write in a genre I've never tried. Looking forward to completing this and getting it out, maybe even into a graphic novel.
