Hi, everyone.
Have you read my Little Red Riding Hood story “Friend of the Dire Wolf”? If not, be sure to pick up a copy of Of Dangers and Dreams, which includes this fairy tale retelling. Bonus: it’s on Kindle Unlimited.
One of the side characters is Princess Celine, who drinks an alchemist’s potion and turns into a dire wolf. Why does she do that? Well, the bonus story gives a glimpse on that. Specifically, it’s an excerpt from Princess Celine’s journal.
Do you have a webcomic you’re reading right now?
I’m currently enjoying Journey Upstream, an allegory of the Christian journey, i.e. following Jesus in a fallen world. And the main characters are animals! They travel to their new home upstream, and they meet other helpful animals as well as obstacles along the way. Backstories of individual characters are told visually and are interspersed throughout the comic, and they hit the right beats in the story.
Another web comic I like is a dystopian series called Extra!, where people live as if they’re a TV show, politics and all.
My publisher, Beyond the Bookery, has a newsletter where you can find out about their upcoming books, sales, updates, and more.
Also, if you’re looking for Christian romances and historical fiction, there are online promotions that list these books. They include books from Beyond the Bookery and their authors.

May you all have a wonderful Resurrection Day, remembering that Jesus washes away the sins of anyone who asks Him to. Let’s praise Him for that! Once He makes you righteous, He gives you the gift of eternal life, and nothing and no one can take away that gift. Hallelujah!
You may have heard the fictional story behind the marking on a donkey’s back. A marking that looks like a cross. Here’s a video where the Free-Ranging Morgans share the story, and we get to see donkeys be themselves. 🙂
I added something to the menu. No, it isn’t a dinner menu, ha ha. It’s the menu of this website. It says, “Bonus Story.”
There you can sign up and have chapters of my new book emailed to you.
Did you know there was a canine mascot at the Hoover Dam? It happened while the historic structure was being built.
If you’ve seen the movie The Secret of Roan Inish, you might know what selkies are. But in case you don’t, they’re fae who disguise themselves as seals, but when they crawl onto land, they shed their seal fur and walk the earth as humans. Sarah Pennington wrote a Selkie retelling of the Little MermaidContinue reading “Selkies”
Ever struggled with following a recipe? I one time made a chicken stroganoff, and I mixed in uncooked noodles like the recipe called for. Though the noodles didn’t cook in an ex-amount of time, and I had to add more liquids (i.e. water and chicken broth) to soften them. The problem was that I pouredContinue reading “A Story and A Recipe by CDPunt(igam)”
