The Bible is not Fiction

September 2, 2024 By Angela Hunt

As you may know, I'm currently writing what is known as "biblical fiction" (the term makes me cringe, because if it's biblical, the biblical part shouldn't be fiction).

Fan Fiction Story + A Party Invite

Back in May, I posted about a fan fiction contest I was running in conjunction with my western Cinderella retelling - If the Boot Fits.
