(It's on iTunes, my website, etc., and is 100% free.)

I'll say that writing this took a lot out of me as so much of it is based on personal experience, so I don't know if I'll write more novels about the church/religion. But I never say never! ;) Thank you for the question, and I'm so sorry the answer is so belated! (less)
