I am currently working on a novel called A Contrite Spirit: A Novel of Faith and
Redemption which follows Hyrum, a character in Under Old Glory, with a little overlap with that novella, where he
tries to find peace in the years following the war. The novel asks hard questions, just as my
novel In Love and War did. I wrote that book before I converted, but I
am basically still interested in questions of moral and ethical weight, usually
regarding questions related to combat.
Now, my beliefs give me (among many other wonderful things) a structure
on which to build and explore my questions.
My other book currently available is called Swimming Among the Olympians: A Memoir and
Collected Stories. These stories
explore what it means to be human, while again placing characters in morally
challenging situations. This book
includes a section of “Under Old Glory” and a preview of some of the material
contained in A Contrite Spirit.
Happy Halloween!
Enjoy the crisp weather of October,
Chris
