I just stop writing and think, or wait until the block disappears by itself.

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!

I'd like to nominate a book for discussion. "American Dirt" by Jeanine Cummins is fiction. It is not overtly Catholic but the characters are, and they are not portrayed as simpletons. There are many priests encountered in the tale and they are courageous, holy, and kind. The story taught me politics, history, and current events without me realizing it. How can this book be put on the nomination list?

Hi Manuel again. Re: my earlier question, would it be helpful to see a review I've received? You have touched on the profound core of Christianity - binding ourselves to Him on the cross and what He did for us. And prayer - our conduit to Him. Your characters are all too real especially in today’s world which seems so askew and insane. I find it incredible that a writer could have captured all this.
