Go check it out, true believers!

Indie Books Blog has a feature up this morning of Transfigured!  But before we even arose from bed this morning at the Casa del Pino Blanco, the wife was greeted with a phone call from a superintendent offering her a new teaching position for the fall!

I'm so happy and excited for her! I can't type anything without exclamation points this morning I'm so excited!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, that out of my system, hopefully we can return to periods. I have to give thanks to the Lord for His blessings here. We, along with countless family and friends have prayed without ceasing that God would place Misty where He wanted her, and I believe with the countless applications, interviews, and now with this morning's phone call, God has heard and answered our prayers.

So, in celebration for Misty and her new teaching position, everyone go out and buy Transfigured and Injected. Get it at Amazon (get the eBook and paperback both!), Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords...the more copies you purchase means you're more excited for her, right?  I kid, I kid...

Thank you to everyone out there again for your love, support, and prayers.

All the time, God is good....and God is good all the time! :)

Enjoy the ride!

Transfigured = Featured! :)

Hola, true believers! The Casa del Pino Blanco has been a beehive of activity...just not writing as of late...

I've taken a bit of a work-cation from writing to apply my not-so-know-how to some home repair projects. So far, my wife and I have sanded our front and back decks, stained the back deck, filled in dents and dings in drywall throughout the house, sanded and touch-up painted those, painted her bathroom, and painted a prominent wall in our living room (bright RED! It looks awesome!).

We still have a couple of things to do on the list (staining the front deck when we get enough days without rain, painting my bathroom, painting and replacing moulding, and some caulking), but I thought I'd come out of hiding for a second to let everyone know about a bit of fantastic news regarding Transfigured.

Tomorrow morning, Transfigured will be featured on the Indie Books Blog! This is my first featured blog post, and I am very excited to have the good readers of the Indie Books Blog (which I frequent daily) be exposed to my work. You can check it out at http://indiebooksblog.blogspot.com.

For those who might not know, Transfigured is available at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Smashwords.com, and in paperback through CreateSpace (purchase from Amazon or CreateSpace). Injected, the prequel to Transfigured, is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the iBookstore through iTunes. Transfigured will be coming to Apple's iTunes iBookstore very soon!

Thanks to all of you out there for all your support, love, and well-wishes. Writing has always been a passion of mine, and I've been writing in various forms (short stories, poetry, newspaper articles, etc.) since middle school. It gives me much joy to finally be able to share my work with the world, and not just as Christmas and birthday presents (ask my wife and mother, both of whom have multiple framed poems displayed!)...

Much love to you all, and keep believing!

Enjoy the ride!
