Special Announcement

Up to this point, my aim has been to provide new posts every Monday. As regular readers of this blog will no doubt attest, I have not been entirely successful in doing so, particularly over this last month. I'll take this opportunity to extend my apologies along with an explanation.

Recent developments have factored into my posting schedule. This last month, I have been presented with some very real opportunities for a publishing contract on Harvest of Prey and have since completed a full revision of the manuscript for review, which was the main reason for my sporadic posting during that time. I am awaiting a final reply as I write. As announced several weeks prior, I have also begun work on my next novel Talos, which at this point I am aiming to complete by Fall of 2018.

With all this being said, I must regretfully announce that my schedule will be similarly affected for May and much of June. With prayer and reflection, I have decided to take some serious steps in changing my current employment. As my bio states, I have been working in the banking industry for three years and am at long last ready for work more suited to my natural interests - specifically an opportunity to exercise and develop my writing skills while pursuing my long-term goal of becoming a full-time author.

Over the next month and a half, I will be intensively following a step-by-step job search and self-development process outlined in 48 Days to the Work You Love by Dan Miller. I will try to keep this blog active in the meantime, but my posts will likely be fewer and far between during this period. I have every intention of returning to my regular schedule once this is complete - hopefully, I will then be in a position to accelerate and enhance this entire blog as part of something greater.

I wish God's Blessings to everyone who has read and enjoyed my writings here as well as special thanks to those who have taken the time to share their thoughts. Prayers are appreciated as I begin this transition. May we all then continue our journey through the Dark Corners of Heaven and Earth.
