Geography Lessons
It’s truly surreal to witness the severity and brevity of Life day in and day out like some cyclical orbit of continuous disarray. Almost as if the solar system was on a constant playback orchestrated by a maestro indifferent to the tunes and chorus of the work as the same s...
My poem and illustrated children's book "Dream Jar" has been a success! I am so grateful for all the compliments and shared pics on social media. I'm thankful to know that my bedtime story of childhood and the loving home is read each night in bedrooms across the world. Thank you everyone, and I...
The Cover Reveal for the sequel- "Hippocrates and The Hobgoblin: The Sedes Infernum"! After all the hundreds of hours... the edits... the rewrites... the reviews... the cover truly brings it home for me.

"The second book in a fantastic series, Hippocrates and The Hobgoblin: The Sedes Infernum by C.S. Colvin is as interesting and fun to read as the book that precedes it... I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars, as I think it’s a very well-written and engaging read. The things I liked most about the boo...
The Boys of Fall
It’s impossible to explain the significance of football to those unfortunate enough to reside outside of Texas. Here in the Lone Star State the sport assumes a mythological status borne on the imagery of lore and lineage. It’s a coming-of-age story for each young man b...
Writing is such a cathartic process, but at times it can be exhausting. The story. The plots and subplots. The plot holes. The edits. The self doubt. The intrigue. The frustration. Elation at 2 am. The sleeplessness. All of this not including your “real life”. COVID has ruined my flow quite ...
In Summary
Glaring lights.
Flashing Reds, blues, and whites.
The days unfold, unkind, coarse and terse.
“the patient in five needs morphine, dilaudid, and worse.”
“the patient in eight wants their best friend, their priest, and their mime.”
“the patient in two has more questions, c...
Real conversation in the Jeep while taking Creed to basketball practice this evening:
Creed: Dad when I’m in the NBA will I make a million dollars? If I make a lot of money, I can take care of you and mom.
Me: Hah. Maybe.
Creed: Dad? What’s the most expensive car in the world?

As the story of Hippocrates and The Hobgoblin continues to grow, and now with the recent release of the audiobook, more people have reached out to me about my inspiration..."Why did you write it?".
It's difficult to delve into, but it reflects a poignant moment for me. I was working late in my...
I recently wrote a piece on the unfair practices of Health Insurance companies, and the ill sought light they've cast upon physicians. The American public has had enough. Although I contemplated not sharing this on my website, I've come to realize that I can not truly separate the author from the ph...

"This book has all the makings of an epic fantasy series... Colvin is a master writer who knows how to paint a vivid portrait of the book’s setting as well as how to create captivating characters. I liked the many battle scenes, and I couldn’t help but think of The Lord of the Rings series, as t...
The first book-signing was a huge success! So many friends from so many places came to visit me, and celebrate my small dream of authorship. I made new friends, and reunited with old ones, and we all shared the aspects of the story we loved the most. I hope everyone has enjoyed the book so far, and ...
Needless to say, I'm extremely excited about my first book signing coming up this weekend on Feb. 23rd from 1-4 pm at Firestreet Pizza! Many of you have reached out to me, and confirmed you will be there which makes it all that more surreal! I will be signing books, and discussing certain eleme...
I truly cannot thank everyone enough for the huge amount of support I’ve received for the book. Hippocrates and The Hobgoblin: The Child of Mürindür has received a total of sixteen five-star reviews on Amazon, and it’s only been a little over a month since I published it! Many of you have reac...
When I began this writing journey, I didn’t know how far the path would go, or if I would be willing or capable to travel its entirety. As I sit here on the eve of my first publication, nearly two years after the initial words were written in that raw manuscript, I still can’t foresee where the ...
