Timothy Jones is our only author of young adult fiction. Today, Dan and Tim talk about the journey of writing a novel for youthful readers. This book has the distinction of being based on a historical record that suggests that dinosaurs may not be so far removed from our own time than once thought. Time Funnels is a great book for those who want to invite their young readers on an adventure that suggests an alternative to the history that is commonly taught.

Two Worlds Media has partnered with some local teachers and coaches who can help writers polish their craft. It is our pleasure to recommend Jenna Thompson as one of those professionals.
Jenna will be facilitating the first of several writer’s workshops on April 22nd. We at Two Worlds Media would like to encourage you take advantage of this local (Portland, OR) opportunity by offering the few remaining slots at a reduced rate of $35.00. That’s a $15.00 discount! Click here for details and a sign-up form.
In the future, we are planning to organize a series of online collaborative workshops. Each facilitated practicum will be limited to four or five students who will work together with a coach to develop an aspect of their writing. Topics will focus on plot refinement, character development, descriptions and other elements of the writer’s practice.
We like to let you know when we hear of opportunities for indie authors to polish their craft. Jenna Thompson, who you may have heard me interview for our “Hey, Teacher!” episodes, is holding a writer’s workshop in April. I’m passing her invitation along to you:
Hello friends —
I’m writing to invite you to a small writing workshop on April 22nd. While most of you know that I teach college writing and tutor students, there is an element to my personal writing practice that I don’t usually talk about. This is what I want to share with you.
For me, writing is more than putting words on paper or finishing a piece for an audience. It is a way of deepening my attention and honoring the sacred in ordinary moments. It’s a way of touching the mystery of being alive. It invites patience and slowness instead of frantic hurrying. It is, to borrow a phrase from poet Denise Levertov, a form of prayer.
Please consider joining me on the 22nd. I’ll bring poems, readings, and prompts to help you explore and develop your own writing practice. It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced writer or if you don’t write at all. Everyone is welcome!
I hope to see you soon . . . and please pass the word to anyone you think might be interested.
Be well,
Jenna
Date: April 22nd
Time: 9am-12pm
Place: Northeast Portland
Cost: $50

Space is limited to eight participants

Two Worlds Media is about independently published books from a Christian perspective.
TWM is mostly a marketplace. It’s kind of a storefront for indie writers. But what if we could do more to encourage readers and writers? What if we could make suggestions and provide resources to people who have some of their own ideas for the journey? To do that I’ve started a Podcast called “Read Between the Worlds” where I’ve discussed some of the aspects of writing and publishing in a print on demand world. That’s been going for a few months.
I’d like to do more. In addition, I’d like to offer resources for indie writers. So, allow me to introduce the Two Worlds Media Writer’s Workshop.
This will be a place for active and aspiring writers to explore. It will have the following elements.
So, there ya go! It’s an idea in the larval stage at the moment. I wouldn’t be surprised if I have to scrap it due to lack of interest, but who knows? Maybe this is an idea whose time has come.
Here’s the link. Remember we’re just getting started here. With enough interest, who knows what may evolve. I’d love to hear from you.

The release of For This Reason is only a week or two away –if all goes as it should. This episode of Read Between the Worlds includes a summary of upcoming books, a brief description of some of the self-publishing process here at Two Worlds Media and an excerpt of Daryl Knudeson’s next book, For This Reason – Femininity, Manhood and the Mystery of Original Design. Described as “a study for women, initially written to the hearts of men.,” For This Reason is ideal for a women’s group Bible Study.
