LDS Author Publishes Nationally with Mormon Character
PROVO, UTAH -- LDS author Dean Hughes has managed to accomplish
something unusual -- publish a book with a national character that
includes a faithful LDS Church member as a main character and make
religion part of the book. Hughes says his latest book, "Soldier
Boys," a World War II novel from national publisher Atheneum, is the
first he's published with a national publisher that features a Mormon
character and talks about his religion. Hughes says "I think part of
what is changing is the realization that certain books about or by
Mormons have done very well financially," Hughes said. "The best
example is President Hinckley's Standing for Something."
