I was turned onto the Elliot Society this spring (thanks Brenna!) when I attended a lecture on C.S. Lewis at a local school. Their newsletter is brilliant and full of excellent art glorifying God. I found this video so beautifully made! Making Good I hope this finds you well and sustained in this season, and … Continue reading Making Good

Special Share: The Circus Queen Part 1
Friends, First, I'll invite you to watch a short clip that provided my inspiration and read along! More for your reading pleasure. In the vein of Stephen King, I imagined this story opening up with a handful of montages to show the world of the Circus of Souls.

Special Share: Prologue from The Circus Queen
Friends,I've been remiss in getting you some good Thorium website content! As we all adjust to the new normal I've been focused on finishing my U.S. Naval Academy tour well, preparing for what's next for the Chapman's, and managing our situation.

This week I thought I'd share … Continue reading Movie Monday: Tenet
War…And Things Like It

Many of the folks who follow my writing probably came from Travis Perry, Speculative Faith and the co-authored series The Speculative Fiction Writers Guide to War (the longest series in the site's history, and we do … Continue reading War…And Things Like It
Merry Christmas to all!

Rope
If you follow the news, my place of work got some undesired attention the past couple of weeks after someone reported evidence of a noose in a closed construction site. Varying pictures came out, some that, to a sailor and person who uses rope often, look like bowlines used for hoisting stuff, which is a … Continue reading Rope

Oh the Controversy
Auntie Leigh's Commentary on Wheel of Time Casting Unlike the rest of the developed world's nerds, I came to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series late in life. I saw the covers in my local Walden Books and Caldor, but never picked them up until well into adulthood back in 2011. But when I did … Continue reading Oh the Controversy
