Published Works
Infinite Realities (2008)
R. L. Copple's Infinite Realities could easily begin with the words: "One May morning on Malvern Hills..." The book is allegorical and shares many of the hallmarks of the classic morality plays. Stylistically, it has more in common with Everyman, The Debate of Body and Soul, and the Corpus Christi plays than the more modern allegories of writers such as C. S. Lewis. This makes Infinite Realities both a bit of a rarity and, for many readers, a likely refreshing change of pace.

Satan thinks he can kill a creature meant to live forever...

Heaven is forever...or so we thought.
What would happen if Satan could obliterate an eternal soul?

All angels have known since their creation that they cannot be killed?but now Satan is convinced the impossible can be done. Demons abduct and are able to tear apart the Archangel Gabriel's soul, leaving Heaven in stunned grief. If angels can be killed, where is God's justice?

Can Gabriel be saved from the void? How can Satan be prevented from achieving a final victory against God?

The Servant of the Manthycore (2008)
A gripping tale of the ancient Middle East! "Behold a warrior woman as ruthless, bloody, and honorable as the ancient world in which she walks, spanning more than forty lifetimes, while Ur and Babylon seethe with a thousand gods... What we have here is no less than a bright new epic, written with the bold spirit of the 21st century, yet spanning back into the mists of time. From Michael Ehart's fierce imagination comes an unforgettable gritty heroine, both human and goddess, and yet something much more... Gilgamesh, Elric, and Conan have finally met their female match!"

About Bill Snodgrass

My name is Bill Snodgrass and I am very involved in a number of different things.

First, Great News!

TeenAge, is up and running! TeenAge is a magazine designed to be fun, exciting, and entertaining. It is grounded in Christian principles, but it's not meant to be stuffy or churchy. The main focus is to make being a teen more fun, and to help readers live the teen years better.

To keep this from being stuffy, I'm putting together a group of teen-to-twenty year old editors to be in charge. Really. This is going to be a lot of fun!

What else am I doing on ShoutLife?

I am here to build alliances and relationships with Readers, Writers, and Artists. I am "involved" with Double Edged Publishing, Inc (more below) in a big way, and I intend to use shoutlife as a way to reach people who might share an interest with me in quality works of word and art. I'll be using this site to promote projects and to connect with others. I have a special interest in fantasy and science fiction, by the way.

I also have a MySpace account, so if you have one of those, too, please add me there! (You need to be logged in, of course!) I have some great music reviews blogged on that site.

Naturally, since I am involved with fiction and poetry magazines, when there are updates, I'll blog about those as well. I'll post announcements about new contents, contests, and things like that. I'll probably occasionally have the random thought to share that's not right for my column at The Sword Review.

More about me

I am in seminary at Memphis Theological Seminary. Sometimes, I get paid to build web sites. I am a partner in Web-Net Solutions, LLC. We are mostly dealing with existing customers for whom we wrote web applications (PHP & mySQL). I write a little (mostly fantasy and science fiction) and have a web site set up for my writing.

Photography

I also do some photography. I have done some studio-like work as well as location work. Recently, some of my work ended up in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. (Both print and online editions.) You can also see more of my photography in my music blogs. Here's one example:

About Double-Edged Publishing

Over the last two years, most of my time has gone into developing a non-profit corporation (IRS 501(c)(3) designated) to promote Christian-grounded fiction. Double Edged Publishing, Inc. has the goal of producing the best in the written word, and toward that goal, it is currently publishing four magazines with the help of a lot of great volunteers.

Brief Writing Bio

Bill Snodgrass began writing during his high school days. In the winter of 2003, however, he embarked on the journey of becoming a published fiction author. Bill writes fantasy, science fiction, and other fiction, all grounded in Christian values and appropriate for readers of all ages.

Bill's works are exciting and fun to read. Frequently, his plots twist unexpectedly, and often his works are sprinkled with a touch of humor. Some readers find substantive themes woven into the stories as well.

Hi Bill. How's things going?

LIFE: From Your Friends at
Lingk2us.com


What makes you uniquely special? What would you do if time or money were of no object? Or what big idea have you been quietly nursing as time passes by?

Many of us spend our lives trying to answer these questions to no avail while others push these thoughts aside and get on with the business of practical living. As human beings, we are all not only born with inherent gifts, talents and abilities, but also posses the capacity to directly or indirectly impact our immediate surroundings. Yet somehow, much of it gets lost in the hustle and bustle of every day life. Think about the things you did as a kid, when you were limited only by your imagination?before paying the mortgage became the priority or well intended friends and family members callously wrote on the tablets of your heart. If you could mentally revisit that simpler time; obvious clues about your authentic self and your life's purpose would become apparent. Were you the 'go to' kid in the block? You know, the popular one!The one who's natural leadership ability and 'Big' ideas rallied the group into action. Or maybe you were the more creative type. The kid who explored every hue under the rainbow and through the use of odds and ends and other homespun materials, created imaginative designs that far superseded the ability of his peers. Whoever you are; remember that your true self (the kid you have been carrying with you all along) along side time, money and your ability to dream big are God given assets to help you reach your fullest potential. And remember that as long as you have the gift of life it's never to late explore the possibilities.
