Werner A. Lind:
Are you a Mennonite? Or were you? (based on your bio) Will there be a topic in the group to chat about A Candle in the Darkness? Are there any restrictions on creating topics, or on discussions?
Werner A. Lind
I was raised as a Lutheran, but placed membership in a Mennonite church after enrolling at a Mennonite college for my senior year. My wife Barb wasn't raised in any church, but became a Christian at the age of 16 through a revival at a Mennonite church, and joined it at that time. (We got married in 1980.) However, when we moved to Indianapolis in 1983, there was no accessible Mennonite church in the area, so we've been out of the Mennonite context ever since.
That's a very abbreviated answer! If you want more detail, I can supply it in a personal message (and probably bore you to pieces :-) ). If you go to my Goodreads author profile, just under my picture, there's a big "Follow Author" button. Right next to it, there's a very faint little v mark. Clicking on that produces a little pull-down menu, with "Send message" as one of the options.
Yes, I plan to get a discussion thread/topic for Candle in the Darkness up on Nov. 1. And no, unlike some groups, in the Christian Goodreaders group you don't have to be a moderator to create a topic; any member can do that. (To avoid unnecessary duplication, you might want to first check out the discussion board to make sure there isn't already one that fits your subject!) The only restrictions on discussions are the Golden Rule, and a prohibition against author self-promotions outside of the designated folder for authors, in order to cut down on "spam."

I read your answer about your plans for future novels. Since you've been working on a story for nine years so far, I was wondering if you had an update on it's progress for your Followers. Is it possibly on the way soon? You're such a wonderful writer that I hope you find all the inspiration and time you need to finish it.
