Newest Publication

Perhaps I'm on to something, here! I'd like to announce my most recent publication of yet another excerpt from Sparrows. (my novel of which I finished the first draft a few months ago) I'm doing the first edit now. Other writers out there know that in this stage, there is still plenty of work to do. In the meantime, readers can check out my most recent published excerpt here: https://www.whlreview.com/. Once on the website, look down the list of fiction writers. You will find the name of yours truly with the story title, "Almost Saved", next to it. Happy reading! Thanks!

Excerpt of an excerpt:  Almost Saved , excerpt from Sparrows

------ Folks are singing and Brother Wilson is talking into the microphone,    “Come as you are. He’s calling you to come up and receive him as your personal Lord and Savior. Come, receive him and there are people waiting right here to pray with you,” he says.

        People are getting up from their seats and going forward up to the podium. Some of them are looking around first as if they aren’t sure if they should go up, but then Brother Wilson’s words make them want to go ahead and get up. There’s so many people, two long lines are forming on both sides of the stage where the alter is.

        The saved people come back smiling and crying at the same time with tears flowing down their faces and they’re whispering, “ Thank you Jesus. Yes, Jesus.”

      "Just as I am, and waiting not

      To rid my soul of one dark blot;

      To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,

      O Lamb of God, I come, I come!”

      Brother Wilson is laying more words on top of the singing, “Yes, you. No matter what sins blot your soul. Come and ask the Lord into your heart and he’ll forgive you. If you feel it in your heart, don’t wait. Tomorrow might be too late. The Lord is calling you to come forward.”

      I’m sitting at the end of the pew with my brothers in between me and Mama. I’m looking at her out of the corner of my eye and thinking how I want to get rid of any “blots on my soul”, just in case I got some, ‘cause I’m not sure what that means. I’m thinking Mama would be so proud of me if I go up to be saved. Then we’ll be saved together and we can talk about how it is to be washed of our sins and how we’d love to go up over and over again, but can’t since you can only get saved once. -------
