The Sofa Scoop
We are days away.
On July 31st the first book from Living Tome Publishing will drop, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. The Tragedy of Oli Ricker is on pre-sale now, and you can read more about it here.
Pre-ordering on Amazon is kinda the best way to support us, so if you haven’t done it yet, it would mean the world. Check out our pre-order page here.
In other writing news, check out our latest post in our Sanctified Imagination series! We just wrapped up our four-part series on Hearing God.

The Voice of God: Part 4
I think it is best to finish where, perhaps, I should have began: with a question.
Why would someone want to hear the voice of God?
The reasons are endless, though I think most of us would desire to simply ask God questions about what we should do in order that we might prosper here on this earth. If we aren’t careful, we each will simply become little Simons wanting to hear God’s voice so that we may work functional miracles in our life.1
God forbid.
When it comes to relating to God, our heart posture is everything. For God discerns our hearts and He will deal with us accordingly.
So then, what is the heart of one who can rightly hear God?
Real Makers 2025
I just got back from Real Makers!
For those who don’t know, it’s a conference/expo for those at the intersection of a Christian faith and a passion for sci-fi/fantasy stories. It was an amazing experience and I can’t recommend it enough.
For me, the highlight was absolutely getting to host a panel for IncensePunk (a magazine as rad as it sounds) and getting to listen to the hearts of other Christian creatives who are yearning for God-glorifying art that can claim excellence in the craft rather than just “cleanliness’.
I’m the worst at pics, but you can check some of those out below.

You can support financially on Substack or Patreon (same great content on either platform!), or you can share this newsletter and get the word out.
Honestly, the biggest support at the moment is picking up your copy of The Tragedy of Oli Ricker. It’s a $10 vote that says you’re in our court and want us to keep going.
In Christ,
