I write in any and every genre, mostly fiction and plays, to bring glory to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I'm a missionary in Ireland, and my writing is part of my ministry here. I have organized and currently lead a writers group in the town, of which I am the only Christian, and I use the forum to build relationships with people in town. I will be publishing my first novel this fall, a young adult's fantasy called "The Heart of the Caveat Whale". It will be the first book in a trilogy. I've written several plays and am working on another novel, real to life fiction this time, and write poetry whenever it strikes me. I write outside the mould of what most people think a Christian writer should be. I try to avoid allegory as much as possible, and I've forgotten most of my 'christianese' since I've left the States and work with so many non-Christians. But I hope my audience can enjoy what I write while reading something that attempts to honour the Lord. I try to give the option of thinking deeply to the reader, rather than forcing it upon them.
