I don’t read as much fiction as I once did, which makes me sad sometimes. But that sort of reading seems to get crowded out by the daily readings, devotions, and writings by or about the saints.
Not this month! I met Bill Peak, the author of The Oblate’s Confession,at a writers’ conference in February, and he was kind enough to give me a copy of his new novel. It’s the story of a 7th century boy in England who is in essence given to a monastery. I’m about twenty pages in, and Bill’s storytelling and writing are just superb. It’s no wonder The Oblate’s Confession is garnering positive reviews and some notice in top-drawer competitions. Give it a read!
What’s on your nightstand?
