I’ve heard many arguments in favor of taxing churches. For instance, if they get involved in politics by preaching favorably, or not, for a particular candidate, then they are indeed helping to direct government policy. All Presidents like to say they are this religion or that religion and make a big show of attending this … Continue reading Taxing Churches

I had an amazing weekend at Texas Frightmare 2018. Thanks to everyone who stopped at Russell C Connor's and my table to talk and check out our books. New fans bought nearly 100 books from me. Thanks! Y'all made my weekend! Here are some of the amazing people I met.
Jumblebook has accepted two of my short stories for publication. "Rocket Fuel" is a 1,250-word original, creative non-fiction about my childhood friend, Scotty, and me. As eighth-graders in 1979, we got it in our heads to build and launch our own rocket. First though, we had to make our own fuel. "Rocket Fuel" is an … Continue reading Jumbelbook Acceptances
