In other worlds . . .
My stories are not allegories. The Christian truths that pop out here or there are the natural ones that flow from a story couched in Christian reality.
Funny example: Several times over the past few years, I’ve had the experience of remembering something I’d read. The memory was helpful to me at the time and it was only later that I would realize it came out of one of my own stories. That may sound strange, but it really has happened.
Light Messages Publishing Company has accepted my 3rd book in the Montaland Series–Benk and the Ugly Princess! I am very happy and look forward to sharing it.
Here’s an excerpt:
Princess Pearlrope Diamonde Primrose peered intently into the bathroom mirror. There was a Welcome to Spring Reception in the courtyard that morning, and she wanted to make sure she looked right.
Picking up a bottle, she squeezed a drop of pus onto the end of a stick and dabbed it close to her nose. There—it was in place but it would ooze down her cheek unless—quickly she squirted red liquid from another bottle over the pus. It dried instantly, holding the pus on her cheek but letting a little dribble from the top. A perfect blotch!
“One of my best,” she said with satisfaction, studying it from all angles in the obliging mirror.
