A CHRISTMAS TALE When I was growing up, most of the cousins in my extended family were girls, so when my brother and the only boy cousin got together for reunions, they couldn’t stay out of mischief for long. I was the eldest cousin, and as I remember it, this mischief was always directed at the girls. They loved to hear us yell, and were overjoyed if we chased them. A CHRISTMAS TALE is a work of fiction, though the characters are a compilation of personalities from my childhood. Some of the names have been changed to protect the…

Exploring Fantasy Worlds with author R. J. Larson Fantasy is not a genre of fiction I typically choose. I mean, come on. Dragons or other strange and frightening creatures? Make-believe words and worlds? Magic? Medieval-type settings full of castles and men and women who fight with swords or other deadly weapons? REALLY? By definition, fantasy is extravagant and unrestrained imagination using mental images that are unreal or fantastic. This type of fiction never attracted me much, though I did enjoy Lois Lowry’s, The Giver, and Robin McKinley’s Beauty: A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast, The Hero and the Crown, and The Blue Sword when my classes read…

Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences: Not just for students and teachers One of the most valuable trainings I had in my nearly twenty-five years of working as an English Language Acquisition/English Language Learners teacher (ELL) (Bio) was the Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences classes provided by Harvey Silver, of Silver, Strong & Associates. The knowledge I gained helped me better plan for, and interact with students and others. The information has also helped with character development in my novels. Now that I know what to watch for, it is quite fascinating to observe how people in my sphere interact with each other…

SAGEBRUSH: FOE When my family first moved to Southwestern Colorado, our pastures were overgrown with sagebrush. At the time, we didn’t have the equipment to remove it quickly, so the only way to get rid of it was with a mattock. This was time-consuming, back-breaking work, that nobody liked, but it had to be done, because nothing much would grow near sagebrush. It produces a strong chemical that repulses most plants, animals, and insects, so up until recently, we considered it a noxious plant with no value. SAGEBRUSH: FRIEND Then I researched for the second book in my DESTINY trilogy….

Impacting those in your sphere of influence When I think of the different skills, abilities, desires, and interests God has given us to do His work, I’m amazed. We may have similar life experiences, but we are unique and can influence others in a way no one else can. I don’t believe the people who show up in our spheres are there by accident. Considered how Simon Peter, a.k.a. The Big Fisherman, and the Apostle Paul, previously known as Saul of Tarsus, were uniquely prepared to minister to those who moved into their spheres of influence. Their objective was the same–…
