It’s been a few weeks since my last post because I needed a short break from the blog after the season’s end of Game of Thrones. Fortunately, I spent what little time I had working on other things. It looks a bit more dogeared now, but I’m nearing the end of my edit to the sequel…

I’ve been off the blog for twelve whole days. I’ve never been away for that long, and here’s why, I suppose … No, I haven’t been sailing near the Rock of Gibraltar . . . For one, I’ve realized I tend to blog more these days about historical or fantasy related television shows like Game…
Saint Patrick’s Day is one of my all-time favorite holidays, so today I’m re-posting an article about Stephen R. Lawhead’s Patrick: Son of Ireland. I had little appreciation for the story of Saint Patrick until I began my research for Enoch’s Device. That novel begins in Derry and tells the story of two Irish monks who try to prevent…

I’m pulling from the archives once again due to a hectic week. This one is about the book that helped inspire my own novel, Enoch’s Device. On a lazy weekend back in the early ‘90s, I stumbled across a movie on TV that helped me discover one of the finest books I have ever read –…
Tomorrow, the Kindle edition of Enoch’s Device will be featured as a daily deal on BookSends. But I decided to start the sale a day early on Amazon and run it for the rest of the week. (It’s on Amazon UK too.) If you’ve already read and liked the book, now is a great time to tell a friend. Here’s…
I returned from Rome a few days ago, but it still feels like I’m on Roman time. The research, however, was a smashing success. But for this trip, I would have botched my chapters on Castel Sant’Angelo. Despite copious research, I never would have understood that ancient structure until seeing it with my own eyes….
Medieval Rome! As I mentioned last week, I’m doing some on-the-ground research for the sequel to Enoch’s Device, so it’ll be another week before I have time to return to the blog. (But I promise, pictures will be coming!) Until then, you can check out my Pinterest board,which is full of images from Enoch’s Device…

(And on Amazon UK too!) Here’s a link to the book’s Amazon page, followed by an image of the cover and a brief summary. Nearly a thousand years…
