My favorite things about the books is the Bible truths behind the story,and the characters
what did you like about the book?

Thank you. Believe it or not, I have had TWO wives make it to Heaven ahead of me. The second, named Janalee, crossed over in 2008. My writing "The Tale of Sophia Renee" happened in part because Jan had loved Christian romance novels, and I long felt I could write a better love story than most of those authors ever produced.

"Alipang Havens" has a few elements from my own life. Mainly, the adopting parents are based on my deceased first wife Mary and myself. ("Havens" was the maiden surname of my Mary's mother.)

For nonfiction, I like books on history (any period at all) and Christian doctrine. For fiction, I used to be almost exclusively a sci-fi and fantasy reader; but starting something like twenty years ago, I began being more open to conventional stories, including Westerns. Of stories I myself have written, the two that I consider my own VERY best works are stories rooted in the known world. Both of these can be found right here, in Professor's Writing Club. One, "The Tale of Sophia Renee," is a love story set in Victorian England. The other, "The First Love of Alipang Havens," is what they call a "coming-of-age" novel. Its hero is a Filipino orphan boy adopted by Americans.

Note that on the SAME thread as my "First Love" novel, I am currently writing a sequel, titled "The Possible Future of Alipang Havens." It is a science-fiction novel by necessity, since it projects what experiences Alipang and the Havens family might have in the year 2025.

hullo there!

thanks
~Have a Great time on here =D

So, are you enjoying it here?

Once you have earned enough seniority by participation in already-existing meaningful threads (i.e. Duffer posts don't count), there will be nothing to stop you from creating a thread in Writing Club and WRITING YOUR OWN detective story!

Glad to have you on TDL!

Are you a detective-story fan?
