The Author and the Protagonist Continued

Author:  Brad, I'm also wondering which audience you would prefer.  I've tried to target guys between 18 and 30 but I'm told that they don't read novels.  Do you have any suggestions?

Brad: Thanks for asking.  Since I am in that category myself, I think that's a pretty good group to hear my story.  I personally prefer non-fiction but since I'm limited to being a part of your imagination, I guess I will have to settle for whoever you can convince to read your book.  By the way, who is reading your books?

Dave:   Well, uh, I have a few friends that have read them.  Most of them are my age.  At least they seem to appreciate the book.  I think they try to affirm me as a writer and they applaud the story of your faithfulness to Stella and how that all turned out.

Brad: I would agree to that.  I am happy with the way both books have turned out.  I couldn't have laid it out better myself.

Dave: Thanks.  I still hope that the message will be heard and received by young guys who are considering marriage but have a negative or nieve concept of what a Christian marriage should look like.

Brad: That's certainly the perspective that I had.  I'm amazed at the way you described me beyond my distorted view of  married life. The determination that you wrote about was way beyond anything I had ever heard of.or observed.

Dave:  You can thank the Lord for that.  If it hadn't been for Hosea the prophet in the Old Testament I would never have gotten the idea for the book.  Of course, behind the whole story is God's faithfulness toward each of us.  He is the One who originated the whole idea of marriage and the standard of faithfulness to our vows.

Brad:  I can sure testify to the amazing grace that I experienced in the story is worth shouting about.  I definitely hope my peers will read and listen.
