In 2009, a cache of 1st century manuscripts was discovered in Southern France. Jeanne-Marie de Nord, the young Canadian translator on the archeological team, tasked with translating the hundreds of Gnostic and Christian documents, realizes that some of the scrolls are a woman’s personal journal. The journal records a story that is hauntingly similar yet disturbingly different from what we think we know of the time. It’s a tale of learning, love, conspiracy and betrayal and raises many questions.
Why were the scrolls buried near Marseille? Who was this woman of the journal? What part did she play in the conspiracy to free Israel from Roman oppression? Why has her tale been suppressed for the last 2,000 years and who has been suppressing it? As Jeanne translates the scrolls looking for answers, all she finds are more questions.
She had better find answers soon, or she may lose the chance forever. Others are closing in on the project, intent on burying the scrolls for another 2,000 years and possibly Jeanne along with them.
It's the first in a series of stand-alone novels, and is available via my site:

Woke up in the middle of the night with a scene in my head. Wrote it down, and as it still made sense come morning, kept writing.

Write, edit, write, edit, write. Editing will never end, you just have to draw a line in the sand sometime and saw enough, let's publish.

Working at my own speed, publishing myself when I'm ready, and seeing a finished book that I can be proud of.

Set the project aside for a while and work on something else. Sooner or later I'll wake up in the middle of the night with the next chapter running through my head.
