I’m so excited, and grateful, that my first fiction piece just appeared in The Gem, a take home paper for adults in the CoG denomination. Finding a place for short stories in the Christian market is difficult at best, so I’m grateful that my story, “The Roofer,” found a home in only two tries.
From my cover letter that sold the story: “The Roofer,” is about a Christian businessman helping a homeless man after prompting by the Holy Spirit. The story will inspire The Gem readers to listen to those nudges from the Holy Spirit that we all get, but sometimes ignore. The message of this story is, “Stop ignoring the Spirit!”
If you have the April 8 issue of The Gem, take a look at “The Roofer!”
