Summer Reading

So, you finally finished Pope Francis' 250 page Apostolic Exhortation: Amoris Laetitia and you've been looking for something else to read. Possibly some Catholic-themed fiction?


I have just the thing(s).

Teresa's Garden by JT Therrien
FREE!
If you like a good bargain, there's Teresa's Garden, my free novella about a fictional encounter between a group of children and the famous Mother Teresa. This story is quite timely, since the Catholic Church will canonize her this fall. All ebook retailers except Amazon have it for free. Kindle readers can get a .mobi file from my Smashwords page.

Many of my other works, such as my newly-released novel Her Father's Sins, mention Catholicism or Catholic theology to some degree, but the following works are explicitly Catholic-themed:
  • Teresa's Garden (Mother Teresa fictional short story - middle grade) - FREE
  • Down By Contact (NFL football-themed romance novella)
  • The Wedding Scheme (humor, contemporary romance novel)
  • St. Nicholas (Middle grade Christmas-themed short story)
  • Sprainter (young adult, dystopian, art-themed, sci-fi novella)

As you can see, there's quite a variety of genres and subject matter available. I know there's something there for everyone's tastes!

I hope readers will take advantage of the free deals (I currently have four free short stories/novellas). If you do, and you've enjoyed the story, please let others know by sharing a review. I thank you in advance for taking the time to help me promote my work.

My Summer So Far
I am currently finishing edits on yet another nine-years-in-the-making novel, which I hope Fine Form Press will release within a couple of months. I am also considering the next installment in my Shadow the black Lab series and I'm thinking about the fourth Dr. Farkas story in my paranormal romance series. I also have two young adult Catholic-themed novels planned for next year.

I also hope to have time this summer to read a few of the books on my ever-growing to-be-read list. There are new novels by Chris Bohjalian, Anita Shreve, Margret Atwood, Lawrence Hill and Julian Barnes, among others. So many others... :-)

That's it for me.
Have a safe, happy summer!
