Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an Associate Professor of English at Harding University where I teach classes in mythology, the nature and history of language, and the literature of C.S. Lewis. I have written three books: Sweet River Fool (a novel about St. Francis of Assisi), The Glory of Kings: A Philosophical Defense of Christianity, and Enoch Walked with God (a children’s book).
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is a children’s book about the Biblical character, Enoch. It is called Enoch Walked with God. I don’t remember exactly how old I was when I first heard of Enoch, but I do remember being fascinated by him even at that earliest introduction. It is the brief but potent statement, “Enoch walked with God,” which captured my imagination and inspired me to write the book.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to play monk chants in the background while I write.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald, J.R.R. Tolkien, and William Blake are among my favorites.
What are you working on now?
I am planning to write of novel of historical fiction about Merlin.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have a blog for promoting my books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I write for the same reasons I garden. I like doing it, whether many other people appreciate the work or not. Write because you love to.
