Meet Catholic Writer, Thinker and Romantic Douglas O’Banion

Last updated on: April 23, 2026 at 1:21 am By Mark Wilson

One of the greatest aspects of writing is the ability to think. Without thinking one cannot ponder, reflect, and contemplate ideas, memories, jokes or other things that combine to make words written on a page for others to read so they can then think about what you wrote. Thinking can also be one of the hardest things to do when writing because it requires focus, recall and concentration. When you’re tired often as I am, it becomes a challenge. Our... Read more

Meet Catholic Writer and Ballerina Charlotte Marie

Last updated on: April 21, 2026 at 6:11 am By Mark Wilson

One thing that every writer that has submitted an interview to my Meet the Writer series has in common is that they all love being Catholic and have embraced their talents as a writer and have used it in some capacity. The difference in each writer is their unique take on how to write as a Catholic. Everyone has something different to say about what they all have in common. Reading through Charlotte’s answers was like walking metaphysically in New... Read more

Last updated on: April 19, 2026 at 1:58 pm By Mark Wilson

He is one of the featured authors in the Catholic Writers Guild anthology Pilgrim Tales. He really... Read more

Latest News That Doesn’t Involve Trump

Last updated on: April 17, 2026 at 7:07 am By Mark Wilson

Lately on social media, it’s hard to scroll very far without seeing a post detailing the latest outrageous thing president Donald J. Trump has said to tick people off. The core of the controversial Trump messages can be summed up as follows. “I’m a great wonderful president and anybody who says anything against my presidency sucks and I will whine about it on Truth Social”. I think it’s a possibility that each day he doesn’t hear his name being branded... Read more

Meet the Writer of Chainsaw Catholic Schoolgirl N.R. LaPoint

Last updated on: April 13, 2026 at 7:13 am By Mark Wilson

When Nathaniel was born God assigned some angels to deliver him his talents he would use in life. The angels came to give him his gifts and somehow when they were giving him the gift of imagination they tipped over a piece of chalk left on the floor in his room and spilled the whole barrel they were carrying into his soul. Since then, he has been on a mission to produce creative storytelling. God knew that people needed a... Read more

Controversial Statements from the Pope and the President

Last updated on: April 12, 2026 at 2:37 am By Mark Wilson

Can’t sleep. Have to get up to go to work in about 2 or so hours. It’s Divine Mercy Sunday. Can’t help but think of the contrast between what the Pope and the President of the U.S. say publicly and socially about war and money and the various people who comment on what they say. The controversy of the statement depends on what your worldview is. I would think that waging war would be controversial to most faithful followers of... Read more

Book Review: Dreamweavers, Minstrels and Nervous Shakespeare

Book Review Introduction Mark: Today were gonna discus books. Yes Books. Raymond Steelskin: Oh Joy! Woo hoo. I’m being sarcastic folks. Hey Readers, my name’s Raymond Steelskin and I’m a fictional unused character from the realms of Mark’s mind who Mark is gonna use in this experimental dialogue style book review.
