Great question! There are so many fascinating women in the Bible who deserve to have their stories told. I've always wondered about Pharaoh's daughter who rescued Moses, an Israelite baby. She raised him as her own in her father's palace while he was plotting the annihilation of the Israelite people. There must be so much intrigue and drama in that story, don't you think? After all, it would be like Hitler's daughter adopting a Jewish baby.
That said, I think my next book will be set in the more recent past, possibly the early 1900's. I'm still drawn to strong women who find themselves caught up in watershed moments of history. I'll let you know when I figure it out!

Good question!
I didn’t set out to write about this period. I fell into it by accident! I was inspired to write Esther’s story after learning about the discovery of her two-thousand year-old gravestone, an exciting and important archaeological find. It was the mystery behind the stone that drew me in and made me want to know more. Who was she? How did a girl from Jerusalem become a Roman woman buried in Italy?
And from there, I began to research the time period. I was stunned that I knew so little about one of the most formative eras in human history. It is a fascinating period that has many parallels with our world today, especially the civil discord and religious fanaticism.
