The beginning of a nightmare... Rant is no dream world. It's a prison for the galaxy's worst offenders. Once you are dumped there, there is no escape. Some say death is a better option. Book I in The Se'Yan't Chronicles gave us Bofsky, the monster who slashed destruction across the garden world of Se'Yan't. Book II gives us a glimpse of the friends he cast aside and the lengths they dared go to ensure their nemesis' downfall. Renhant, Jer'son, and Barn't are only 17. They are the lambs sacrificed to the jaws of the beast, on a world where there is no law, no restraint, and no way to escape....

Catch a Spaceman by the Tail . . . The third installment in The Se'Yan't Chronicles takes you on a ride you'll never forget. MegaCorp has been dismembered, its military arm spun off, leaving the giant corporation a shadow of its former self. In the last 370 years, most of the galaxy has forgotten the power the massive behemoth once wielded. One man lived those days, but he's trapped in a military-issue cryogenic escape pod, hurtling through space at near the speed of light. It's branded with the near-forgotten MegaCorp logo, and its systems are shutting down. Without an emergency rescue, his...

Others find Jesus through us. His earthly hand is found in the flesh of ours. Without our muscles, sinews, and bones, the saving message of our Lord falls flat. No one will hear it, because we're not there to live it out for them. The Holy Word of God is lived out through us. How? We live out God's Word in the way we interact with those around us. How do we respond to hurt, intentional or otherwise, or slights to our sense of self-importance? Do pinpricks of pain turn into slashing blows of cruelty, or are we overly sensitive because we're having a bad day, and we forget others have them,...

We never know the importance we have in others' lives. It's only in the after-moments, when we can see things with hindsight, that our true significance comes into perspective. A story told, or a letter written, reveals emotions (for good or for bad) that have affected those we've been in contact with over the days of our lives. What legacy do we want to leave? What's the impact on the lives of those we've lived among that we want them to remember? Kindness cannot be a one-off experience. We can't choose to be moody today and cheerful tomorrow, because those who cross our path will remember...
