The Last Place I Expected to Grow as a Christian Writer, Was a D&D Table
I didn’t expect to grow as a Christian writer at a Dungeons & Dragons table. In fact, if you had asked me in my early twenties what I thought about D&D, I probably would’ve pictured a chaotic mix of dice, loud storytelling, and the kind of fantasy I never saw myself stepping into. I certainly didn’t see it as something that could influence my writing or shape my creativity. My first brush with the game—around age twenty, back when I was working as a chef in Nashville—did litt

The Samaritan’s Road: A Journey of Doubt, Discovery, and Grace
This upcoming Christian fiction novel invites readers into a modern pilgrimage across Israel, where a group of college students embarks on what should have been a simple study trip. Each one carries hidden questions about belief, loss, and identity—questions that resurface when they uncover a centuries-old journal buried in the ruins of an ancient Samaritan village.

Inside the Anvil: Crafting Ink and the Forge
Every story has a forge somewhere between spark and steel, between the idea that won’t let you sleep and the discipline that hammers it into shape. It’s that liminal place where creativity and craft meet, where raw inspiration is tested by repetition, pressure, and patience. Ink and the Forge was born in that in-between space: half creative restlessness, half determination to understand why some stories endure while others crumble.

Why Character Arcs Matter More Than You Think
Every story rises or falls on the strength of its characters. A clever twist can catch attention for a moment, and an imaginative world can spark curiosity, but these elements alone rarely carry a reader through hundreds of pages. What truly captures the heart is watching a person change, falter, and grow. Transformation is the secret heartbeat of narrative. It is the thread that connects a reader’s inner life to the struggles of someone who exists only on the page.

The Creative Hunter’s Creed: Resting Between Hunts
Every creator hits a wall. Somewhere between the late-night writing sessions, the endless drafts, and the “just one more edit,” the fire starts to fade. What used to feel like purpose begins to feel like pressure. You open your manuscript or your canvas or your code, and nothing stirs.

Story Structure Isn’t a Cage, It’s a Compass
When I started out, I avoided structure at all costs. It felt heavy, like a teacher’s red pen hovering over my shoulder, ready to drain the joy from the page. I wanted the wildness of writing, the thrill of chasing sparks wherever they led. For me, stories were supposed to be alive, untamed, unpredictable. I believed that if I leaned on a framework, the result would be stiff, mechanical, and soulless.
