Manuel: Good morning from California USA. I am a Catholic writer of novels and nonfiction. In Les Mis, Victor Hugo outlines a book Bishop Myriel wished to write but never did. In my novel, Bishop Myriel: In His Own Words, I plunge into the bishop's soul and complete the book for him. My reason for sending this note is to inquire how might I have my most recent novel considered by Cath Book Club?

I am smiling because you rated your own book 'Jacob's Ladder' with four stars, not five. I have never seen another author do that for his own book! What kept you from rating the book five stars? BTW, I am going to read it and hopefully prove to you that you should rate it five stars. The Catholic Book Club Group is reading it in April.

I have written a Y.A. novel titled The Orange Dragon Bowl that is pro-Catholic, pro-life, pro-family, pro-tradition, and pro-virtue that has already gotten nine 5-star reviews, and one 4-star. Honestly, people's enthusiasm for the book has surprised me. Regardless, I'm hoping to gain further interest in the book among Catholics. Perhaps you could help?

My book "Francis and Clare The Struggles of the Saints of Assisi" just won a 2020 award from the Catholic Media Association. The CMA says “Francis and Clare is a wonderful book that shows the humanness and struggles of two of of our greatest saints. For all those interested in the Franciscan charism and for those who have not yet been introduced to it, this book will not disappoint.” Could this be a BOTM? Thank you!
