O Saint Medardus

It’s been a long time since my last post.

Writing-wise, I’ve published several short stories and entered my e-book, “The Search for a Sipping House” in a few contests. It wound up in the quarter-finals of one and….I’m not certain if it ever registered in the other. Anyway, I’ve put it up for consideration in an e-book self-published contest that Writer’s Digest is running, so who knows.

I’ve also written a book based on my work history in the Church (25 years worth until my job was eliminated in 2016). The book is light-hearted and funny and I hope people will like it. I’ve titled it “O Saint Medardus” and it’s all about a fictional diocese and parish in Avignon, Ohio. Think of a cross between “The Vicar of Dibley” and the “Father Brown Mysteries.” It was a lot of fun to write and the people in my writer’s group have been very encouraging and supportive. Writing can be wonderful therapy.
