What's growing in this garden of dreams -

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through 2025. The year that began with a whisper—enduring—has echoed louder than I expected.

📣 The day has finally arrived…

We’re thrilled to introduce something that’s been a long time in the making—our very first course, Publishing 101, is officially live! To celebrate the launch, we’re offering it at a special 33% off for a limited time.

After years of working with authors, one thing has become clear: most writers are passionate and committed to writing—but when it comes to publishing, the path forward often feels unclear. What comes next? What does it really take to turn a manuscript into a finished book?

That’s exactly why we created this course. Drawing from more than a decade of experience working within the publishing realm, we designed Publishing 101 to walk you step-by-step through the entire publishing process—with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Inside, you’ll find:
📘 2.5+ hours of on-demand video
📝 A 35-page downloadable workbook
📚 Six focused modules covering:

• Choosing your publishing path (traditional, hybrid, or self)
• Crafting and revising a strong, structured manuscript
• Preparing key assets like metadata and design briefs
• Building your author platform and pre-launch strategy
• Navigating publishing professionally, from upload to launch
• Sustaining momentum post-launch

Whether you’re writing your first book or returning with deeper vision, this course was built to equip you—without the guesswork, overwhelm, or regret.

🎉 Get 33% off for a limited time and start your publishing journey with confidence.

Swords and storytelling -

There are many reasons I love to write—the quiet rhythm of thought turned to page, the intimacy of shaping something that didn’t exist before—but perhaps the most profound is this: because in the beginning, God created.

"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen."
—Luke 24:5-6

On this Resurrection Sunday, we remember the dawn that broke history in two.

The stone was rolled away. The grave clothes lay folded.

Death, once final, had been undone.

This is not merely the greatest story ever told:
It is the truest.

And it is still being written in us.

The resurrection of Christ is not a distant event, but a living reality that reverberates through every redeemed heart.

It is the hinge upon which our sorrow turns to singing, our ashes to beauty, our wilderness to home.

We all carry a story—marked, mended, and made new by His rising.

Today, as we celebrate the victory of the empty tomb, we invite you to share:

How has His life redefined yours?

What grave did He call you out of?

What chapter bears the fingerprints of resurrection?

Let us bear witness together to the story that never grows old.

This one question can change your story... -

Boil your story down to one single change. How? Desire. Desire is the key that unlocks your story. What is your character's greatest desire?

Are you done yet? -

Have you ever felt like a story half-written? Pages filled with promise, yet unfinished—waiting for an ending that refuses to come?
