I have written a number of fictional short stories with spiritual messages and present some of them here for your perusal. I have also written a Christian novel, called “Leaves of the Fig Tree”, which presents much of what I have communicated on this site, but against a fictional background. The chances of having a novel published, I was told at a writer’s seminar, are miniscule, with something like 4,000 novels being written every year in Australia alone, of which 10 make it to market. Of the 10, 6 are by previously published authors, having at least a track record plus an agent going for them. In Australia it is next to impossible to get an agent. Without an agent, publishers won’t even open your manuscript! (Probably a case of not what but who you know!) Most of the lucky 10 write material that falls into a popular genre, like crime, mystery, romance, etc. A Christian novel is not exactly an easy category to slot, making publication even harder. So all I can say is, ‘Praise God for the internet!’. I put the finished novel here, for those interested, to download free of charge. Short Stories Just click the essay title or the button on the left for the story you want. Or click below to download my novel. You’ll need Acrobat Reader. Novel
