You Say “Medieval” Like it Is a Bad Thing

Last updated on: December 21, 2017 at 8:43 am By C. R. Wiley

The other day a person whose ignorance was only exceeded by his confidence said dismissively, “That sounds medieval!” My unspoken thought was, “You say that as though it is a bad thing.” I had already treated him rather roughly, trying to shake some sense into him on a couple of points, so I let his remark go unchallenged. But upon reflection I think anyone who dismisses something merely because its provenance is medieval is guilty of more than “chronological snobbery”–he’s... Read more

What do all these things have in common: broken home, Scientology, fatherhood, and writing? Answer: I’ve experienced them all. I was interviewed last week by a new friend for his podcast. The podcast is called The Chris Craft Show and it is hosted by, you guessed it, Chris Craft. Chris has a number of things going on and this podcast is a new venture. I encourage you to give it a listen. I enjoyed the conversation very much. Hopefully you... Read more

The Purloined Boy is Here!

Last updated on: December 4, 2017 at 10:17 am By C. R. Wiley

Well, lookie what came in the mail! My young adult fantasy series has just had a re-boot, I’m happy to say. Canonball Books has just released the first book. They’ve told me they are hard at work on editing book two (I’m sure my long suffering readers are glad to hear that.) Here’s a fun Youtube video of the books arriving at the warehouse. One of the great things about the re-release of the first book is you can get... Read more

Give the Gift of “Eucatastrophe” this Christmas!

Last updated on: November 6, 2017 at 7:26 am By C. R. Wiley

Like so many other people, the works of J. R. R. Tolkien have stirred me deeply. But it wasn’t the heroism, or the cool monsters, or even the magic that produced the effect when I was a teenager back in the early 70s. It was a deeper magic. You may recall that Tolkien’s friend C. S. Lewis wrote about deeper magic in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. When Lucy and Susan ask Aslan how he could come back... Read more
