Mark of Calling

I have another new release from a Lutheran author for you! K. M. Strid now offers her debut novel, The Mark of Calling: A Tale of the Savus, and I’m quite excited about it and its series, Shadow on the StarsKas (Kasandra) was born in Germany and moved to the United States in her late teens.

Black Hole Unravels

You may have noticed by now that I have a lot of ideas to share in hopes that someone else writes them up. 🙂 The trend continues. I want to see someone write Big Bang Unravels. Explore how the physicals of black holes, with their different expressions of expanding and contracting, would affect the world if we really were a result of a black hole’s big bang.
