It's Time for a Break

Spring Break, that is.

First of all, thank you for reading my memoir, Don’t Cry, Mishalariah.

What a blast that was, and now that it’s over, I feel like a weight has been lifted, freeing me to make plans for the future again.

But before diving in again, it’s time to take a well deserved break.

I’ll be back in April, though, with weekly reviews of must-read books that reveal our human strengths (and weaknesses) when we try to experience a little bit of heaven on the earth burning down around us.

I call them “dysHOPEian” books.

In May, I’ll publish more short speculative fiction series (5 to 10 posts each), starting with The Beginning of Nations, 2nd edition.

Now that I am more than halfway through my theology degree (MTS), I am taking another stab at the story’s theological themes. How much will change? You’ll have to read it to find out.

After that, I plan to write and publish the Spacesuit series, a sci-fi story about intergenerational space travel to an unreachable destination, and a brand new series to tease my upcoming sci-fi novel, Luminosity. I don’t know what the title is yet, but it is about a scientist who stumbles upon a way to visualize the state of the soul.

In June, I want to use paid subscriptions to self-publish In Her Bones one chapter at a time, as well as the novels, The Queen of Indiola, which is the long awaited conclusion to the If I Ruled the World sci-fi series, and of course, Luminosity.

Then in January 2027, after my MTS is complete, I want to add non-fiction book chapters for paying subscribers. I want to write about the relationship between God and man (the theology behind Luminosity), the purpose of work (the theology behind The Queen of Indiola), what it means to be poor in spirit (the theology behind In Her Bones), and so many other theology topics. I am even looking forward to creating a video teaching series.

And then, of course, I will figure out a way to sell these books online. Not that I am trying to make lots of money. That is not possible. I just want to get these stories into the hands of as many readers as I can. 100,000 perhaps.

But that’s enough daydreaming about the future.

See you April!
