The institution lied. Here’s the fiction that didn’t.

“At Loveman’s intersection of greed, faith, and technology, readers will find the price of a soul truly immeasurable.” — BookLife
Archived Heresies
A gay minister cast out of a theocratic church finds the courage to live authentically — and ignites a rebellion. A short, sharp dystopian starter.

About the Author
C.J. Loveman went to Bible college to become a Pentecostal minister. He believed it — genuinely. The faith was real.
The problem was that the institution had a version of him that could exist and a version that couldn’t. He was the wrong version.
After a short and combustible stint as a pastor, he became a private investigator — a job that turned out to be entirely about finding what people hide and reading the gap between what institutions claim to be and what they actually do.
He writes fiction about exactly that gap.
His work is for rebel and misfit readers in general. But he has a special focus on those who left the church but still can’t stop thinking about God. For anyone still standing in the wreckage, looking for something worth saving.
