Brett Carter wrote The Lutefisk Gospel while on sabbatical during his time of service to Zion Lutheran Church in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. He’s been writing ever since his parents gave him an electric (wow!) typewriter in 5th grade. He lives with his family and Sparkle the Magic Dog in Cottage Grove and is currently a Development Editor of Children’s Resources at Augsburg Fortress Publishers. A lifetime member of the Hairy Yams Writers’ Project, Brett also claims (with apologies to Elaine May) that one of his legs is real. If you like the book, please send Oreos.
