I’ve Got Sunshine on a Cloudy Day!

The clouds are unlikely anytime soon, but I am praying daily for God to let the rain come down abundantly… sometime soon would be great.

That being said, TJ & I have an event this Sunday! AND the event is in Chandler. Also, it’s inside! Chandler Library Local Authors Event: 22 S Delaware Street, Chandler, AZ 85225. March 2, 2025, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. We will be there with all our books. This is close to all you who live in the Valley of the Sun. So no excuses!

We have two more events in March after that… One in Tombstone & one in Cottonwood. The Tombstone event is a Western Books event. The one in Cottonwood is a Comic Con event. Dressing in costumes is encouraged! The weather should be amazing at either event. You can see the details on our event page.

TJ has his Steampunk novel out & available: The Night Bird. Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction that incorporates retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics inspired by, but not limited to, 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. Steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the Victorian era or the American frontier, where steam power remains in mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. (*Wikipedia) The more you know, right? Jules Verne & HG Wells are some famous authors who motivate authors of today to write this way. I used to call this science fiction… Silly me.

He is currently working on a new novel, which I don’t really know the story line about. He sent me the “dream” novel, but I’ve been working desperately on the murder/mystery. Once I’ve finished that story, I will go in to re-edit the “dream” story, which we renamed The Man Who Rode Dragons. This is a romping tale (TJ writes a lot of romping tales) about a dream realm two friends explore. That’s all I can say right now. I don’t want to give away the plot.

The murder/mystery is a cozy novel. For the time being, the title is The Yavapai County College Murders. This story follows Death at Hell’s Canyon Quarry with the same characters. Our detective Allen Anderson and his sidekick, Rebecca Tsosie, investigate a couple murders that happen in Prescott at the Yavapai County Community College campus. Why are these young men being murdered so viciously? What could possible be the motive? How are the murders connected to a cold case from four years earlier? Cozy novels don’t include any too visual blood or guts. There are no swear words. These stories are more Murder, She Wrote ™ or Father Brown Mysteries ™.

Cozy fiction, Christian fiction: those are what I write. TJ is the science fiction/fantasy, adventure, drama guy. You can see our books on each of our pages on this website.

The bad news: Sadly, our dog, Cortana died last week. This happened suddenly. We are all in shock. She was our walking partner & the sweetest girl. If you like to give money, find a local live animal rescue to donate to in her name.
