About this author

For Andrew Bowen, a.k.a The Dirty Prophet, theology is a playground. His fiction and essays splash in the often murky waters of religion and spirituality, and have appeared in over a dozen venues like decomP, Metazen, Pulp Metal Magazine, Sheldon Lee Compton’s Bent Country, and Michael Solender’s Not From Around Here, Are You? He is the founder and editor-in-chief of Divine Dirt Quarterly and creator of Project Conversion. His novella, Triune, is now available for Kindle.
