About Jeff Gerke
Back cover...
"Jeff Gerke is so full of great writing advice that you just want to beat him up."
~Randall Ingermanson, "The Snowflake Guy"
Artist and Craftsman--as a Christian novelist, you're both.
You know the soaring creativity of the Creator and the serious discipline of the artisan. And you feel the impulse to excel in each.
So grab a steaming mug of your favorite hot drink and come learn the art and craft of Christian fiction from one of its master teachers.
You'll learn:
- How to find your story amidst all your ideas
- How to bring your characters onstage the first time
- How to convert your telling to showing
- How to handle profane characters in Christian fiction
- How to use the dumb puppet trick
- How to write for the (approving) Audience of One
- And much more.
The Art & Craft of Writing Christian Fiction is the complete school of fiction from Jeff Gerke, popular writer's conference teacher, professional book doctor, and Christian novelist. It includes and expands upon his influential Fiction Writing Tip of the Week column at WhereTheMapEnds.com.

Hey Yvone, I would love this book as I am a fiction writer. I have no way of posting to a blog as I have a website and don't know how to post to a website. However I joined to the fed. I hope I can still have a chance. Sounds like a great book.
Thanks for sharing :)
