The Green Ember is Currently Free! (Please Spread the Word.)

February 10, 2015 by S.D. Smith Leave a Comment

That's right: FREE. As in, gratis. For the next three days, a person may virtually waltz into the virtual Kindle Store and, without offending virtue, walk out (with thegoods) without paying. It's legal shoplifting, and I'm asking if you'll do it. You've probably seen these things. There's a way in which they don't help: people getting the thing you nearly killed yourself to produce for free, … [Read more...] about The Green Ember is Currently Free! (Please Spread the Word.)

The Man Who Saved Narnia (And a Giveaway at Sally Clarkson’s)

December 17, 2014 by S.D. Smith Leave a Comment

Today I'm super happy to be featured over at my friend Sally Clarkson's blog. (And yes, I'm bragging about being friends with such a cool person.) She very generously asked me to write a post and do a giveaway at her site. As a big fan of Sally's work, and that of her whole family, I'm really grateful. (By the way, have you ordered her new book yet? Get that!) Since Sally's ministry is aimed at … [Read more...] about The Man Who Saved Narnia (And a Giveaway at Sally Clarkson’s)

Making Art For and With People You Love

November 20, 2014 by S.D. Smith 5 Comments

I’m often tempted to be envious of friends who make music in community. The harmony on display is so attractive. I have friends in Nashville who have the kind of creative community people like me dream about. Also, singer/songwriters perform regularly and get instant feedback. They might hear clapping and see smiles the day after they write a song. It’s an endeavor so closely connected to … [Read more...] about Making Art For and With People You Love

There and Back Again

November 13, 2014 by S.D. Smith Leave a Comment

In case you missed it, I posted a brief summary of our exciting experience with our Kickstarter at Story Warren. It was a look back and a "thank you" to everyone who helped us launch the book. We're so grateful. And Andrew made this awesome photo happen. Also, we shot a short video to say "thank you!" to those who supported us on the launch. It has cute kids singing, so.... If you missed the … [Read more...] about There and Back Again

The Green Ember and an Apologetic Posture

October 31, 2014 by S.D. Smith 2 Comments

People have been saying nice things to me. Also, they’ve been giving me money. Both of those things are--and I know this sounds insane--kind of hard to take. Because I’m proud. And scared. I was really reluctant to do the pre-sale for my debut novel on kickstarter. But we decided to do it and, after some great advice (and many cautions) from experienced and wise friends, we forged ahead. I had no … [Read more...] about The Green Ember and an Apologetic Posture

The Light on the Hills

October 23, 2014 by S.D. Smith 2 Comments

I've been reading some old stories in preparation for sharing some on Fridays over at Story Warren and I came across this little gem from Mrs. W. K. Clifford. It's from her collection, Very Short Stories, written around the turn of the last century. While it's probably too didactic for children to enjoy and has no real plot, I found it inspiring and lovely. It gets at something I believe many of … [Read more...] about The Light on the Hills

“My, My Heart Like a…Kickstart!” Images and Words from a Memorable Weekend

October 7, 2014 by S.D. Smith 5 Comments

We are over the moon about how well the kickstarter launch for The Green Ember has gone so far. If you missed the wild weekend, here's a brief (I hope!) summary. We launched on Friday morning at 6am. Our goal was to reach $10,000 in pre-sales within 30 days. We genuinely had absolutely no idea what to expect. I knew there were people who loved us and would support what we were doing, but I … [Read more...] about “My, My Heart Like a…Kickstart!” Images and Words from a Memorable Weekend
