Readers will be thankful for this rare and splendid work of love, faith, and art. I wanted to write a novel that would sell millions and make me the darling of the literary world. So, I came up with a surefire 7-point plan. And while I'm at it, I'll write without curse words. Books with tragic endings make headlines and best seller lists.
People are angry, frightened, and sick of talking about race.
I'll write a book that confronts racism and classism-particularly among Christians. As a long-time Defense Department employee, though I am a Christian, I know nothing about the Christian fiction genre. It is a genre only read by a set group of Christians. All kinds of people will run to buy a religious novel with references to God, gospel music, and Jesus. And I'll expect that Christians and non-Christians alike will want to read my novel.
