These are the reflections of a Secular Franciscan. I look not only at my own spiritual journey, but also at issues of life, economic and social justice, morality, the arts, and more through the lens of Franciscan Spirituality.

So, if I was writing Catholic historical fiction ...
If I were to turn my hand to writing Catholic historical novels or plays, about whom or what would I write?
St. Francis of Assisi has been tackled by various people. Maybe from the perspective of a follower?
First generation Franciscans
Dorothy Day.
Peter Maurin
G. K. Chesterton
The Groundlings
John Henry Newman.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Irish Catholics in 1840s-60s Central New York
St. Thomas More (ah, but then there's A Man for All Seasons)
Solanus Casey
And would I go adult or YA? Novels or plays?
What would be marketable?
Typical me - getting caught up in the nit-picky details and never finishing. Sort of like that Catholic mystery novel idea I had.
I think I need to compile a list of Catholic fiction as well. A reading list for me - and another way to waste time.
Pax et bonum
