My loyal buddy, Chris Wells of CCM Magazine gets kudos for having the strongest work ethic I know(unless he has oompa loompas and angels doing all his work instead.) We echat often, but he hadn't told me that this highly anticipated and critically acclaimed debut novel, Forgiving Solomon Long also had the Juice--a Ghetto Fabulous term for Street Buzz/clout. But he's so nice to me that I forgive him.
According to Terry Glaspey, director of acquisitions and development for Harvest House, Chris Well's publisher, Harvest House has committed to producing Well's four next books into 2009:
We feel Chris is at the forefront of a group of talented up-and-coming authors in CBA fiction exploring new ways of dealing with the classic themes of the 'old, old story...His unique voice, his humor, his compulsively readable style, and his abundant creativity make his books such a pleasure to read. Personally, I can't wait to read his next book.
Neither can I...
But if you haven't read Forgiving Solomon Long let me give you a two line snippet of what's the buzz all about:
See. This hitman[Solomon] loses his will to kill after he offs a nice priest, who tells Solomon that he forgives him for murdering him. Isn't that wild?
Anyway, I highly recommend this book. It's action packed with short chapters, no play play dialogue. God's words creeps up on you like Fat Cat and his crew. It's the Juice.
Writing to see what the end's gon' be,
Dee
