Another solid read, Nils. Thank you! I've been writing for young people for years, but all in the secular publishing sphere. Only in the last few years have I tried to write and market with faith publishers... and what I've seen so far of that world has been at the least mystifying and at worst, hypocritical and disappointing! (Staggeringly so, so far!)
But your story here, of your teens and connecting with the Word, would make a great coming-of-age story to share. Just sayin'! I wish I had the energy to start a publishing company, and if I was 40, might consider, but...
Anyway... keep writing.
