I can be reached at drivenshrive@hotmail.co.uk .

I'm not much interested in chick lit and vampires, wizards, witches etc.

I'm interested in historical fiction, literary fiction, humour and non-Disneyesque Christian writing.

Unless it's something I'm interested in, don't spam me, please.

She went through her pockets and found 20 pence. Putting it into our church's Restoration Fund, she said: "I don't want this church to close."


St. Salvador's Church sits in a deprived and depressed part of one of Scotland's major cities. These are true tales, told not so much from the Lord's Vineyard as from Secularism's Scrapheap, reflecting upon the Church's ministry to the least, the last and the lost.

Hi Cyrus I've read the prologue and first chapter. A good start. Intriguing. I want to know more. I noticed that in your description of Franck, you have "lead" instead of "led". Highly starred. If I have an opportunity, I'll come back for more! All the best Fr. Ambrose view book
