Long time, no see 🤠(An update from the trenches)
about 1 month ago • 1 min readHey Reader, It’s been a minute since I last dropped into your inbox. If you’ve been wondering where I disappeared to since February through now, the short answer is: deep into the Colorado and Wyoming mountains. I’ve been heavily focused on writing, counseling, and building behind the scenes. Between launching Of Gunsmoke and Gold and hosting The J.B. Sisam Show, my creative world has grown fast. But honestly? My content has been scattered across too many different platforms and sites. It...
READ POSTUpdate from the Trenches - October 2026
11 days ago • 2 min readHi Reader, The life of a writer and content creator is interesting. Between my nine-to-five job as a financial advisor, running a non-profit writer's ministry, coaching authors, and being a full-time husband and dad, squeezing in the time to write can be challenging. This is where scheduling the time comes into play. Have you ever desired to get something done, but life just simply gets in the way? I was talking with a friend of mine this week. He said, "I want this season of my life to be...

2 months ago • 1 min readHey Reader, THIS IS AN EPISODE OF THE JB SISAM SHOW YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS!!!!! Something major has shifted in the new world of artificial intelligence, and it’s going to affect how we think about "original" content moving forward. The European Union’s AI Act is officially in force, and it brings a significant shift for anyone who uses AI tools in their creative process—even for simple tasks like light editing or proofreading. In my latest episode of The J. B. Sisam Show (Ep. 172), I break...
READ POSTIt's here — Of Gunsmoke and Gold is LIVE
3 months ago • 1 min readReader, Today is the day. Of Gunsmoke and Gold is officially available on Amazon — and I couldn't be more excited to get this story into your hands. This book has been a journey. It started with a verse — 2 Corinthians 5:17 — "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." That's what this story is really about. Two men carrying the weight of everything they've done, standing at the edge of something new — if they can survive long enough to...

3 months ago • 1 min readHey Reader, I hope your summer is going well and that you are having a blessed day! It is with excitement that I say August 4th is the launch of my newest novel, Of Gunsmoke and Gold! This was a very fun book to write. It's one that came from some time in the Scriptures one morning about four years ago.

READ POSTIt's Here: OF GUNSMOKE AND GOLD is Now Available for Pre-Order
4 months ago • 1 min readReader, Two years ago, I sat down with my Bible during my morning devotionals and read 2 Corinthians 5:17 — "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." That verse wouldn't let me go. It became the heartbeat of a story I've now spent two years writing, rewriting, and pouring myself into. I'm thrilled to announce that OF GUNSMOKE AND GOLD, Book 1.5 in the Purgatory Series, is now available for pre-order — and releases on August...
READ POSTSomething's coming out of the Colorado mountains...soon!
4 months ago • 1 min readReader, First, I owe you an apology for the silence. If you've been wondering where I've been, the answer is simple — buried in the Colorado mountains with a wanted man, a mountain man, and a killer who refuses to stay dead. Writing consumed every spare moment, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The title of my next western is Of Gunsmoke and Gold — Book 1.5 in the Purgatory Series—and it's nearly here. This one takes place immediately after the events of Vengeance at Purgatory and follows...
READ POSTWhy Every Writer Needs a Daily Habit
7 months ago • 1 min readHi Reader, After publishing my first novel, Divine Providence, I received an email from a reader indicating that my book encouraged him to reflect on his relationship with his children, ultimately helping him become a more attentive father. His words meant the world to this once fledgling writer. My intention was not to provide a guide on fatherhood — I aimed to tell a story about trusting God during challenging times. However, for this dad, my worldview resonated and offered a meaningful...
