“I wondered about myself. My purpose. The reason why I am here. Why was I meant to take this journey? To carry this heavy cross? The carbon and stardust showered on the planet, creating life; creating us, as we live, and grow, and thrive, and shine and exist and love, and hate, and question, and wonder, and dream, and create, and procreate...all in this biosphere.”

“The Colonia novels really are my problem child. One giant story, two split volumes, and no resolution to The Arrival of Destiny. I read a review on Books a Million today from a reader who didn't understand the first novel when reading it, but still read the second, Battle of the Trinity. In the review, she stated that she understood the purpose for The Arrival of Destiny after reading the entire story, and then said she loved it, when looking back on it. The Colonia project was tough because of how the story progressed. But I was happy to read that review. I love when readers get it. It's so exhilarating!”

“In our lives, there is a path of stepping stones laid before us. They stretch out towards the horizon, until we cannot see them anymore. It takes courage, and fortitude, to make it to that next stone, for the conditions may not always be ideal for success. But stay focused. Be determined. And you will make it to the next stone.”

“I don't sit down and force words. I let them flow naturally. Makes for a much better story, I feel. Some days I write a couple hundred, others a couple thousand. There is no standard, and I still have an annual release.”

“Finishing a manuscript is an achievement. Writers are common, but authors are rare. It's fun to talk about a book, even to start a book. But then the writer must work. Persevere and overcome barriers to success. If they reach the end...they have achieved what countless cannot.”
