Hi. This is R. J. Alan and you’re listening to Rough Drafts. This podcast is the place to get early access to my novels and short fiction before they’re published. Before we get to the story, let me tell you a bit about my writing and about this podcast. Like me, my writing has a Christian worldview. I say that in case some of you might be offended by references to God or to the Bible. If that’s you, I hope like me, you can enjoy a great story even if told from a viewpoint you don’t share, and I really hope you listen, anyway. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you. The novels presented in this podcast are not final, edited, or polished works of fiction. They are, as the title of the show suggests, rough drafts. Works in progress. So why do I publish them before they’re complete? The answer to that question can be answered in one word. You. I want to share my work with you. I want to know if you enjoy it, and if not, why not? I want your feedback, to help me make the stories the best they can be. And last, I need you to spread the word about my books so they can find other people who might enjoy them, people whose lives might be impacted in a positive way by them. I write my stories because this is the kind of fiction I wanted more of, but couldn’t find it, so now I hope you’ll help other people like me, people looking for these stories, to find them. I’d appreciate your feedback. You can contact me through my website at rjalan.com. There you can leave a comment on blog posts, send me an email, or even a voicemail. Tell me what you think of the books, and while you’re there, sign up for the newsletter. I won’t spam you with unwanted comment, but you will be notified when there are new posts, when books release, and when we have special offers available only to subscribers. Finally, a word about the podcast. These are not professionally produced audiobooks. This is just me, talking to you from my office, the second-story bedroom of an old farmhouse. You’ll probably hear my wife calling me, the dogs barking, or the roosters crowing. I hope you love them, anyway. Head over to my website at rjalan.com, and thanks for being here. R. J. Alan
