  every ex-jw who has read my novel of a love story based in the jws is blown away.

  there hasn't been one bad review, and it has been reviewed in the boston globe, san francisco chronicle, sf weekly, portland's weekly and daily newspaper and more.

  publishers weekly gave it a starred rating and it's optioned for a film through hunting lane, the same producers who brought you blue valentine and half nelson.. it's available all over north america at indie bookstores, barnes & noble and more.. if you buy it off of me directly and don't like it, i will refund upon return of book minus shipping and paypal costs.. www.tonydushane.com.

  i just found out about this since my publisher has worldwide english rights to the novel and they're in the process of a take over from another publisher.

  if you know of any cool religious blogs, or book nerd blogs who like coming-of-age novels, definitely pm me so i can help get the word out.. confessions of a teenage jesus jerk, review from publisher's weekly:.

  dushane writes with an insider's perspective about this unique world, balancing criticism with understanding and a convincing portrait of the struggle to integrate religion into a modern world, producing an ultimately touching story that will speak to atheists and believers alike.. .

  Australian campaigner concedes defeat on Working With Children checks

  sunday herald sun, melbourne.

  jehovah's witness children will continue to doorknock neighbourhoods with adults who have failed to gain police background checks after a bid to stop the practice failed this week.. gippsland carpenter steven unthank, a former member of the religion who says he was abused as a teen by a church elder, was given approval by victoria's chief magistrate to take the unusual step of launching a private prosecution of the religion over its refusal to require ministers to gain police checks, but says he cannot afford the $350 fee for filing the charges.. mr unthank yesterday said he could not pursue the religion on his own.. he said it was a disgrace that neither victoria police nor the justice department would enforce the working with children act, which requires ministers of religion to gain police checks before working unsupervised with minors.. the religion's corporate arm in australia, the watch tower society, says it does not believe its ministers need to obtain background checks to work with children because they do not typically work unsupervised with children.. ``it's an absolute beatup,'' a spokesman said.
