What is the aim or goal of your writing:
3rd. ed. says, Aim of writing is "Food, clothing, shelter, entertain, and instruct"
Contempoary Authors says, "After leaving the priesthood in 1974, William X. Kienzle "exchanged his pulpit for a typewriter," as Bill Dunn described in Publishers Weekly, and began writing the tales that made him a best-selling mystery author. The twenty years he spent in the priesthood provided the raw material for his popular series involving Father Robert Koesler, an amateur sleuth and sharply defined priest who resembled Kienzle in several ways. "The fictitious Father Koesler divides his time between his pastoral duties within the Detroit archdiocese and his journalistic duties as an editor of the area's Catholic newspaper, just as Kienzle spent his time during the 1960's."
