Guest Post: Why This Genre? From Author Leeland Artra

So today on the blog I have author Leeland Artra talking about Why This Genre for us.  Enjoy! 

Why This Genre?

It is hard to believe we are all 99.9% genetically the same. With over seven billion people in the world every single person is still unique. We are all wired for storytelling; everyone I know loves a good story. The only difference is the type of story. With over seven billion possible fans there is someone for every genre. The beauty of it is that most of the seven billion are not dedicated to one narrow genre. People who read science fiction can also enjoy none fiction histories or fantasy romps without all those silly rules of science to constrain the possibilities.

But God Blog Tour: Guest Post with author Jennings Wright

Today is my stop on the But God: Two Words to Freedom Blog tour and I have a great guest post from author Jennings Wright to share with you all.  Plus a giveaway at the bottom of this post.  

WHY THIS TOPIC?  For Breath of Life

BUT GOD: Two Words to Freedom is about a journey. There is a lot of autobiographical information in it, only because I want the reader to know that I’m living this out. It’s not an academic exercise for me. But the journey is there for any Believer who is willing to start it, and I wrote the book to encourage people who might be feeling something along  the lines of, “Isn’t there more to the Christian life than this??”

Guest post: Going Green by Travis Simmons

So today on the blog I have author Travis Simmons talking about his new book and going green.  Enjoy! 

Going Green

            I have decided to go green. In part. It is really a choice made out of necessity, but it does have an added benefit of helping ease my carbon footprint.

            The item? A lawn mower. A really old type of lawn mower, with an updated look. This is one of those things you push, and as you push it propels the blades around and trims the grass.

Darkness. Twisted steel. Patches of blood-soaked snow. Even after six years, these are the things Michael McGavin sees when he thinks of Christmas. Fragments of memory about a car crash he barely survived, and still sometimes wishes he hadn’t. Because he hadn’t been alone in the car that night. Abigail Tanner had been his girlfriend, his best friend, and her body had been thrown so far from the crash site that rescuers hadn’t been able to find it. On the day of her funeral, Michael buried a piece of his soul with her empty casket. On the sixth anniversary of the crash, Michael returns home to spend Christmas with his family. His one and only hope is that this Christmas passes as quickly and quietly as the others have.
