New Book

The work has begun in earnest, at least on most days, on my new book. The book is fiction but based on my experiences with church...the joys, the sorrows, the power struggles, the politics, the clergy, the wars, the peace, the struggle with 'isms', and... I've been thining about the book and sketching ideas in my mind and on yellow lined legal paper. I've found it is one thing to play with it in my mind; another to put it on paper. So stay tuned. The first four chapters are in first draft: Chapter 1. A Love Hate Relationship, Chapter 2. The Deacon's Meeting, 3. October Welcome Dinner, 4. Men's Breakfast. Several conflicts are in the making...gum chewing in church, church member arrested for sexual abuse of students and his presence at church, those people you sat at our dinner table. I'll keep you posted as time goes on. Marcia

what's new

My book is doing well through the work of marketing. I'll be traveling to the Boston Area for signings in April and then off to Ohio in May and the midwest in June.
I've started a new book that concerns my love/hate relationship with the institutional church. The church is something that gives me comfort but also great frustration.
