What’s the deal with short novels?

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 8, 2015 by David BergslandApril 8, 2015

I know, I’ve been on this rant for a while. I regularly get teased or worse because my technothriller, Daniel’s Mighty Men (seen to the left), is 666 pages. How can I expect anyone to actually read such a behemoth? … Continue reading →

Four levels of Christian fiction: A call for reality with our characters…

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 23, 2014 by David BergslandMay 23, 2014

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 1, 2013 by David BergslandNovember 1, 2013
