The Sequel!
For my first novel, Kings of the Promised Land, it took a total of SIX YEARS from putting pen to paper until publication. I’m planning on a much shorter turnaround for the sequel.
I am very excited about this project - the sequel is the book I always wanted to write, and the first was a necessary prologue (although a great story in and of itself). Although I have been able to raise money for charitable causes by donating proceeds from my book, it has been my overarching goal to get people interested in the biblical narratives - to let others experience the same page-turning intrigue that I do when I read 1 and 2 Samuel. My novels are gateway drugs to the Bible!
I wrote Kings of the Promised Land before obtaining a master’s level seminary degree. I believe that I have a much richer appreciation for and understanding of good scholarship, and hopefully my craft of writing has improved over the years. No matter what, I take the task of bringing readers into these stories very seriously. I aim to be as faithful as possible to the source material.
Stay tuned for more details!
