Help us celebrate Tony's Book Birthday and actual Birthday by liking, sharing, and/or purchasing your copy of his book.
It's a mix of Stranger Things, Narnia, a circus, and something all its own. Anabel and her friends meet a mysterious stranger just as an age-old darkness returns to this small Idaho town.
Will they stop the darkness before it's too late?

I just picked up the Kindle version of Travel by Star last night. Only a few pages in, but I’m enjoying it! You can tell pretty quickly if something is well written or not, and your book is clearly quality work.

It. Is. Done...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 days to do the ending.
6 weeks since I started writing, exactly.
116,500 words.
My book is done.
Ok, except the Epilogue, but I is saving that for when I want happy tears writing weddings. :D
It really helped deciding last minute to go to this writer's conference - tomorrow - cuz that meant I had a deadline. And I made it!! I can now, honestly, say I have a book!!

The work of a thousand years of artists can be destroyed in a single night by a madman. So for every picture, there must not only be a paintbrush, there must also be a sword, or beauty will not endure.

Buy and read it! It's loads of fun.

This is an instant classic. Happy to debate it. – at Kyle, TX

I'm in the final edits of Songless: The Fort, and I have one chapter that tears my heart out. It is so hard to edit. I wrote it, and it has to be there. I'm not sorry about it, I simply have no idea how I keep surviving it.

When someone says (cough, Gerwig), they read what Lewis read...
Chesterton was oft quoted and respected, and read by Lewis. This is one author he read.
The Collected Works of G.K. Chesterton, published by Ignatius Press, planned 48 volumes and published 23, of which I have one. These aren't even his books.
Small print, about 600 pages.
What about reading all of Lewis work?
If you only take his published works while alive, that's about 34 books.
What about non-books?
That's about 215 shorter essays, sermons, and reviews. One of my favorites is "Vivisection."
If you want authority on Lewis, get it from Lewis. Not someone trying to convince you they are the authority on the works, when you can just read the works for yourself.
READ IN 2027 "Chronicles of Narnia."
"Safe?" said Mr Beaver... "Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you." (C. S. Lewis).

The state of political conservatism in the United States is abysmal and depressing.
The state of artistic conservatism in the United States gives me glorious hope.
What do I mean by “artistic conservatism?”
Conservative Art is a participation in the inherited order rather than a departure from it. Tradition and craft aren’t artistic cages but the preconditions for meaning, and it treats goodness, truth, and beauty as discoveries rather than clever inventions.
Specifically from a Christian perspective, art is participation in transcendent reality. This kind of art imitates the way divine and natural order works, not merely the artist’s private expression.
Many of you are doing this so well. I’m proud to know you.
Let’s continue to push back against the dark together.

You guys, I finished the Beautifully Official Post of the Month bookmark design for @uppityhobbit (pending her approval), and I think it turned out really nice! Let me know what you think in the comments!
