Reader, 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...

Reader, 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...

Hi 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...

Reader, Really exciting news today! DIVINE MOMENTS HAS ARRIVED! This book is near and dear to my heart. I wrote the first concept to this novella in an Anthology I was a part of in 2022. That truncated story was just 6,000 words. I had more of the story to tell, so, I sat down, outlined, and worked hard to create a riveting tale of how each moment in life brings us to making a choice. Choices are what makes the world go 'round. We choose what to eat. We choose what to wear. We choose where to...

Hey Reader, First, I want to say a big thank you to all of you who are a part of my tribe! It's because of you that I write and produce content. So thank you for being a part of the community. That being said; The wait is over! My newest book, Divine Moments, is now available for pre-order. This book is near and dear to my heart, not simply because it's about baseball, but because of events in my family, and choices that are made. We all have choices to make in life. What do we wear? What do...

Reader As I was sitting at my desk, I noticed my whiteboard, across from where my clients normally sit, where I was currently sitting. It read... "What is your #1 Dream?" So, I have a question for you: "What is your number one dream?" It’s not an easy question to answer. We often find ourselves getting to a destination in life quickly, only to realize we've ended up in a place we never intended. Life is full of challenges, twists, and turns, and time is always moving forward—sometimes without...

Hi Reader, Welcome to another deep dive into a topic that's transforming our lives: Artificial Intelligence. In episode 168 of The JB Sisam Show, we explore how AI is not just a futuristic concept but a useful tool that's already woven into our everyday lives. From personalized streaming recommendations to guiding our commutes, AI is powering so much of what we do. If you're not utilizing artificial intelligence, you are going to be left behind in your work to your creativity. For a while...

Dust settled against the ground as Jackson Tanner pounded the gravel under his cleats. He swung the bat in a circle and connected its tip to his shoe and watched as more dust fell off his cleats and land near home plate. A wave of dizziness swept over his body. Beads of sweat slithered down his forehead forcing his mind to fog momentarily as he pulled the bat over his shoulder. Jackson readied his mind as he stared down toward the pitcher’s mound. Jackson loved baseball. He lived, breathed,...
