I’ve been grossly irresponsible with my MySpace page lately, so it’s time for a quick update:

Next week, I’ll be speaking at the Calvin Festival of Faith and Writing. Check out the amazing lineup of lectures, interviews, concerts, and more here:

What a privilege to be among so many of my favorite writers, and to get to share some notes from my own recent adventures. I’ll be speaking twice: Once on the power of fantasy and fairy tales, and then again on moviegoing as a spiritual journey. I hope I’ll see you there. You’ll also have opportunities to her from great writers like Michael Chabon, Kathleen Norris, Katherine Paterson, Luci Shaw, and Scott Cairns. And so many more. Amazing.

I’m almost finished with Cyndere’s Midnight, the sequel to Auralia’s Colors. (Haven’t I been saying that for six months now?) God willing, it will be in stores in September.

Auralia’s Colors is entering its second printing, and the cover has some subtle changes this time around. Watch for it on the Buy Two Get One Free table at Barnes and Noble this month!

And don’t miss the upcoming new release from Sam Phillips: Don’t Do Anything. It’s brilliant.
