New Jersey Author Releases Contemporary Spiritual Fiction Novel

Edgewater, NJ, October 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Vera Wright is a quirky sixtyish beautician who is perpetually trying to improve herself. One Sunday she decides to respond to her pastor's challenge to "surrender her life to God" because, she thinks, why not? It might make her a better person. Much to her shock, this quiet little gesture is taken seriously on the "other side", and from that moment forward she is relentlessly recruited to save the world. Vera is a most unlikely crusader, who battles this new vocation with every tool in her parlor. Chaos ensues, including mystical visions, out-of-body mayhem, bilocation, lucid dreaming, and mysterious automatic writings. In the process of her own reluctant sanctification, she persuades her beloved church lady friends to create The Society of Loaves and Fishes, the first order of female Catholic priests. There is a new order of miracles, she tells them, that God can only perform through women.

The novel explores the extraordinary potential in simple and humble people with a wink and a nod to the harrowing cost of true spiritual commitment, and challenges the notion that great saints and prophets have disappeared from the earth. It is an optimistic and humorous story with prophetic underpinnings that will entertain and inform both saints and sinners.

Available in both print and ebook versions.
