Forbidden fruit and its consequences This painting, Sarah Leading Abraham to Hagar by seventeenth century painter Matthias Stom is displayed in the Gimaldegalerie in Berlin. Even a quick look at the figures portrayed by the artist even briefly, conveys something unseemly, even odious. All too evident is the purpose of the intrusion of the elderly […]

About Lin Wilder

I, Claudia was a winner in the IAN Best Books of 2019;
A finalist in the literary/general fiction category. Claudia has now won four awards. But Malthus Revisited keeps winning them. At eight awards, Malthus is the leader, by far.

Finally, I am closing in on My Name is Saul. The first iteration of the book will be done shortly.

Saul is complex, multifaceted and riddled with contradictions. Much of his story has been surprising-even shocking- as I have written it. And that term “written” assumes control. It is, after all, an active verb. But the truth is that the writer serves as a conduit. Cypher.

Weird, I know but accurate.

As always, thanks for checking out About Lin Wilder!
