This blog will serve as part journal part newsletter as I begin the process to bringing Overcome! to the market. First things first, though. The first draft is finished and is waiting for Ivory's steady eye and opinion. What will happen next is the high edit. At 180,000 words, Overcome! needs to be tidied up a bit. There was just so much to tell.
I hope that I haven't created a overly sensationalized camera on the GLBT aspects of the book. But I AM Gay, damn it. That's not something I was allowed to say in the Advocate USA Publishing published works. Our aim was the progressive Christian niche, which, when you really come down to it, hasn't been as progressive or as Christian as I had wanted it to be.
Overcome! is not a Christian book. It is a spiritual read. I'm not saying Jesus was gay, but I am saying some radical things about what the after life is and isn't. A lot of things about what our Creator is and isn't. We'll see what happens next. It is my hope that somewhere, somehow, someone finds this little blog.
Whoever you are,
Blessings
