about me

Hmmm... I appear to have removed so much of the Gospel, that it's now invisible... Well, I'm working on it again.

In the meantime, thanks to all your positive vibrations and useful critiques, The Gospel According to the Romans is through to the Semifinals at ABNA!

http://www.amazon.com/Gospel-According-Romans-Breakthrough-ebook/dp/B003CV7S4A/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=books&qid=1272400976&sr=1-9

You can read the opening 5,000 words for free, by downloading a free Kindle for PC app on the same page in the top right area. (And if you do, please write a review, even if only one or two words - and recommend it to any friend who might be interested - the level of interest gets factored into who goes to the next round.)

Of course, many of you have commented here over the past year - but comments on ABNA would be great too.

Thanks, all!

Michelle, this is a very powerful story, clearly and strongly written. The one thing that slowed me when reading was a little uncertainty with the Point of view. For example, the second part of Chapter 1 is all from Elena's POV, but sentences like this: 'With a gentle hand, her mother cupped Ele... view book

Sheryl, an unbelievably powerful first chapter. Brilliant! Paradoxically, my only concern is that is SO strong, that the next chapters are almost anti-climatic, I wanted to keep going with that Amber, not go back three years and start over. I found myself skimming, which is unfair on your writing.... view book

NSL - what a delightful read! A very smooth blend of modern and archaic, realistic and fantasy, with full-blown magic sliding in unobtrusively... Of course, it's a little class-conscious and old-fashioned, but that never stopped anyone reading Tolkien. (What is it about Oxford, I wonder?) Enjoyabl... view book

Elijah, You have a unique story to tell, and a unique voice to tell it with. Some of the imagery is very new and powerfully strange ("the cringing whistle of the gasping morning cricket..."), but some of that gets wasted if you are using words in an unclear or imprecise way ("... announced the last... view book

Iva, this is an excellent story, with a lovely mix of historical and fictional characters, each with their own voice and their own tendency to shenanigans. Very nicely done. A couple of small concerns: in the first chapter the shooting out of five beer glasses - amusing - but I couldn't help thi... view book
