Michael Norton answered George Ortloff's question: Michael, Thank you for the answer. I must have missed the Goodreads alert. You were blessed, to be sure. I have just pitched Ignatius for my novel "The Orphanage." A Viet Nam vet, it's my first novel to be completed. Any advice or reminiscences about dealing with Ignatius? As a Catholic writer, I have been welcomed by "Christian" writers but my book seems "too Catholic" for "Christian" publishers. You're most welcome, George! I wish you many blessings in your approach to Ignatius. Like you, I've looked with a certain envy at the huge market that exists for non-Catholic Christian fiction, but those publishers don't seem to have much use for us p See Full Answer
