Hi all,

I’m a Catholic writer publishing my debut novel on August 28 (feast of St. Augustine!), and I wanted to share with all of you because it seems that there is such a lack of good, Catholic fiction available these days. All of the major Catholic publishing houses (Ignatius, Ascension, etc.) seem to only publish catechesis, and in the trade publishing world, there’s only “Christian fiction” (which, let’s be real, occasionally borders on Hallmark-movie status). My aim in writing has been to produce real-world content from an authentically Catholic perspective. It’s been a long time since the days of Flannery O’Connor and Evelyn Waugh!

If anyone is interested in learning more about my book, you can type my name (Lindsey Todd) into Amazon, along with the title: “Closure.” Please note that cover art is not yet posted, but will be in the coming weeks!

…And if you’d like to connect on Instagram, my handle is (at)veritaswords. I’d love to build the Catholic writers community with you! My goal is to someday shift this personal author’s account into a Catholic publishing house for fiction, specifically.

God bless!
 
I’ve published four Catholic novels, and finding readers can be difficult. You might consider using Goodreads. There are also many Christian Fiction Clubs and Christian Book Clubs on Facebook where you can advertise for free.

Wishing you the best of luck!
