While I am still working on my mystery novel, my sermon and commentary writing has taken up more time than I had anticipated this past month or two. Certainly, I don’t mind the sacrifice of novel-writing time; my ministry work is more important to me, after all.

Yet I do quite look forward to digging back into the world I’ve created for this novel. For those interested in suspense, there’s a lot of tension; for those interested in a supernatural touch, there’s a haunting; for those looking for disability appeal, they’ll be interested in Zach’s parents. There’s a lot to like about the cast of characters I’m assembling.

I just wonder if they’ll mind having the holidays off?
