Last night I had a great time doing a podcast with one of my oldest friends, James "Shamrock Jim" Stacey on his show "The Zoo". Normally they discuss politics, but James and his co-host Kirk were kind enough to make some room for me while we discussed Enemies of the Cross. What followed was an intense hour of talking about writing, horror, religion, my series, Christian Horror, and the very nature of what it means to be a Christian creative type. Needless to say, it got pretty deep! It was super-fun and now the whole show is available for you to listen or download. My episode is number 156.
We had a little bit of technical difficulty at the very beginning (isn't that always the way?), but things right themselves at about the two minute mark. I hope everyone takes a listen and enjoys!

Interviews and Review!
Enemies of the Cross has been out for a little over a week! Exciting! Word is starting to spread on the internet and here are three points of interest for those keeping track at home.
Fellow Realms author Lena Nelson Dooley posted a quite insightful interview with me at her blog. Take a sec to read it and leave a comment over there for your chance to win a FREE copy of the book!
Christian Horror site A Flame in the Dark has posted another interview with me. Check them out and support the Christian Horror movement!
And, finally, Kat Smith gave a most positive review to the book--but beware of minor spoilers!

Local Book Signing!
Haven't you heard yet? Enemies of the Cross is in stores now! I'm already hearing that the book is darker and more complex and mature than the first. It's sure to take everything you know about The Coming Evil and turn it on its head. Find out what all the talk is about!
For everyone in the Northeast Arkansas region, today we're announcing a book signing. I will be selling and signing copies of, both, The Strange Man and Enemies of the Cross at the Lantern Bookstore in Paragould, Arkansas on Saturday, March 3 from 2-4 PM.
I hope everybody who's able will come and support their local brick and mortar booksellers.

"Enemies of the Cross" Soundtrack
It's that time again folks! The release of Enemies of the Cross is tomorrow! In preparation for the big day, I'm revealing the soundtrack to the book--that is, the music that inspired me while writing the story.
It goes without saying (but I'm going to say it anyway) that this is completely unofficial! The music selection does not reflect Realms Fiction, and none of the artists or bands listed here endorse the book--though it'd be nice if they did.
This was simply for fun and to give you guys a peek into my writery process when crafting Enemies of the Cross. Like last time, in order to enhance your listening experience, I have included scene names and page numbers to correspond with each song, so you have a better idea where it fits into the narrative.
I have been careful to keep the scene names vague, but just in case, beware of minor spoilers.
Enjoy!
