To Tend the Wind: A Novella
The To Tend the Wind manuscript has come down for revision. My heartiest thanks to subscribers who offered their time and feedback on the draft of this novella. Click here to read my blog series on this project, on engaging Ecclesiastes as a writer, and on how the novella To Tend the Wind came out of that experience. The full-length novel version of this story, retitled Kohelette, will be available from Clay Patin Press in 2026!

To Tend the Wind came out of my opportunity to participate in the Religion, Spirituality, and the Arts Seminar (RSA), which gathered a cohort of twelve artists for seven months in shared study of a sacred text. We studied the book of Ecclesiastes, with each artist creating a project in response. Those projects were collected in the May 2024 exhibit titled “Is There Nothing New Under the Sun? A Conversation with Ecclesiastes, Religion Spirituality and the Arts 2024“ at the Harrison Center in Indianapolis (virtual exhibit here).
