Author of the Pearlsong Refounding fantasy epic trilogy: Gideon's Dawn, Waymaker, and The Word Within.
Background
Information
“I suppose you could say I’ve always been a son of two worlds—the natural and the spiritual. It was the inevitable result of my upbringing, I realize now. What else could come of being raised close to the earth as I was, working the soil in the small towns of Texas where folks still live, for the most part, by the laws of decency and common sense…and at the same time growing up the son of a preacher, a man of God who spent his days opening windows to heaven, and imploring his flock to look up and see the reality of the divine at work in their ordinary lives. From early on, I learned to see the world with two sets of eyes.”
“It seems only natural to me that I became a writer. I needed a medium, a mechanism, to express the way I experienced the world. For some it’s art, for others music—for me, it was pen and ink. I’ve always been fascinated by the magic of words—their ability to carry you away to some other place, show you wonderful things you’ve never seen. But more than that, the real power of words rests in their ability to forge relationships across vast distances of space and time. To read authors like C.S. Lewis or A.W. Tozer, and through the writing actually come to know their hearts and minds, is a miraculous transaction that continues to astound me.”
