I’ve officially finished the first chapter of my upcoming fantasy novel, Obsidian Seed. Set in the ancient village of TurHallow, this story begins with a whisper from the woods and a secret that could doom them all.
Chapter One: Complete.

Words can’t express how awesome Nadia Bolz-Weber is in person. I got to see her in Salt Lake City tonight. I’ve learned so much from her. I got to tell her in-person how she’s influenced my ministry and given me permission to be authentic. Tonight, I got to meet one of my heroes.

Submitted a creative non-fiction short story, "The Heart," to the League of Utah Writers 2025 anthology. It is a story of the wild mystery of creation, love lost, a journey of hope, and risking to love again.
