The grace period (SW, chapter 7)

chanson, November 13, 2007

When I woke up, Jake was already in the shower. I rested in bed listening to the water and gathering my strength.

Jake came out of the bathroom in his boxers and started getting dressed. “Well? You’d better get up and take your shower,” he said. “You’ve got a big day ahead of you.” Read the rest of the story »

The sort of spiritual experience… (the conclusion of SW)

December 3, 2007

Walter arrived in his suit and tie since the plan was to go out to a fine restaurant. Dressed like that and with his haircut, he looked like he was on his mission already. With his gorgeous looks and friendly manner, it was clear that he would have no difficulty…

on “American Trinity”

September 13, 2024

David Pace’s American Trinity is a striking collection of twelve short stories tied together by the common thread of Mormonism. The stories were written over the past several decades, and draw from his lifelong experiences with the church. These experiences are not insignificant, and I found myself somewhat dismayed to hear some…

    Thanks Wayne and Guy!!

    There’s nothing automatic about it. On my website for the novel, I edit the html and php files by hand. (I should upgrade to an automatic system with an RSS feed, but it’s such a small modification each time that I don’t bother.)

    As for the PDF file (which you have and others can get by emailing me chanson dot exmormon at gmail dot com), the entire novel is there. No need to request further updates… 😉
