As I prep for diving into the second book in the Light Keeper Chronicles series this November, I’m sharing three different versions of what the book has looked like over the years.

On the evening of Sept. 23, I was honored to be invited to Des Moines’ Storyhouse Bookpub for an event called The Event of Delights to present a work inspired by the essays of Ross Gay.

One year after the release of “The Light Keeper Chronicles” R.E. reflects on the year so far and breaks down the cost of how the indie book has done financially.

By the time you’re reading this, Willow may be gone, but before I can morn the 2022 sequel to the oft-forgotten 1988 film, I need to talk about the single most valuable media franchise in the world.

For those not in the know, November is National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for short). Every year, writers spend the month of November writing a new novel. At the end of the month they are — ideally — left with 50,000 of story that they pray are mildly coherent.
