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…
To kickoff the summer, and in honor of Saint Columcille‘s Day (he’s Brother Ciarán’s patron saint, after all), the Kindle version of Enoch’s Device will be on sale at Amazon for the next 7 days! (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…
Work has left little time to write this week, so I’m re-running a post that relates in a way to my recent posts about Ragnar Lothbrok. Leading up to my next installment in my series on Medieval Fiction, I thought I’d pose some questions about one of the late Fifth Century’s most legendary figures: Who…
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 the research for Enoch’s Device. That novel begins in Derry and tells the story of two Irish monks who try to prevent…
In honor of one of my favorite holidays, the Kindle version of Enoch’s Device will be on sale at Amazon for the next 7 days! (And on Amazon UK too!) After all, the book’s heroes, Brother Ciarán and Brother Dónall, are Irish monks who undoubtedly enjoyed a pint or three on St. Patty’s Day! Irish monks emptied the kegs on St. Patrick’s…
In the wake of Black Monday, the Kindle version of Enoch’s Device will be on sale starting today, through Cyber Monday, and lasting the entire week! You can purchase it here. Nearly a thousand years after the birth of Christ, when all Europe fears that the world will soon end, an Irish monk, Brother Ciarán, discovers…
Earlier this year I wrote about how I’m using Pinterest to stockpile images of the places and people featured in my novel, Enoch’s Device, and its upcoming sequel. Ten months later, the sequel board has grown considerably. Here’s a link if you’d care to take a look. Who is that man in black? And speaking…
Today, Enoch’s Device is being featured on BookBub, the premier online service that connects readers to books. BookBub is a bit picky about what it features, and editorially evaluates a book before choosing it for a promotion. I’m very excited that Enoch’s Device was chosen, and the Kindle version will be on sale from today…
This has been a great summer for historical fantasy fiction. Yesterday, author Roberto Calas released The Scourge: Emaculum, the third and final volume of his Scourge trilogy, which reimagines a medieval plague like the Black Death as a zombie apocalypse. I really enjoyed the first two books in the series (which I reviewed here and here)…
Summer is coming! With Memorial Day weekend almost upon us, my daughter will soon be out of school and summer vacations are fast approaching, so this is the perfect time to make a summer reading list – and the perfect time to offer a summer reading list sale for Enoch’s Device! But first my…
This week has been crazy busy with my daughter’s softball team advancing to the semi-finals in her league’s playoffs, so there’s been little time to focus on the blog. Fortunately, I realized I never published excerpts from my last author interview about Enoch’s Device, which I gave to author Catherine Peace at Indie Books R…
