Your Free Work of Short Fiction: A Matter of Mind and Heart
Americanism is a matter of the mind and heart;
Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or ancestry.
– President Franklin D. Roosevelt, February 1, 1943
1944: Recruited from an internment camp for Japanese Americans, army linguist Rich Takahashi grapples with a key question. Why should he put his life at risk for an America that robbed him of his future, and his family and his sweetheart of their freedom? What makes an American, an American?
“Goosebumps… Anyone looking for a quick read with full characters and a punch will love this story!!” – Pam, Nevada
My goal in my fiction is to portray the truth that we have a BIG God, at work in a BIG way, seeking and saving and redeeming even through the darkest circumstances imaginable.
Heroism. Resilience. Liberation. Good versus evil. These themes resonate precisely because they reflect deep spiritual truths. When I write, I do all in my power to put them squarely on the page.
It’s my hope and prayer that my readers will come away heartened that no matter how dark the times, evil doesn’t win. I invite you to join the journey!
