While this is part of The End Times Saga, I didn't really include very many political elements in the story. I have an instance where he's watching TV and there's a story about Coptic Christians being slaughtered and the President claiming it was their fault that Muslims didn't like them. Then, I have Timothy meeting the new President Collins at the inauguration and then mentioning his death and the collapse of the U.S., which was fleshed out in Times of Trouble, Times of Trial, Jon Ryan, and Xavier Doolittle.

This novel had me stepping outside my comfort zone with what I normally write, since I was writing a story about a Country musician, and not a political thriller or even a sci-fi type novel. I actually found it difficult to keep it around PG-13(it is now), especially when these annoying stories about Miley Cyrus keeps showing up on our TV's and pops up in random places online, and I wanted my character to abandon being a Christian for a short time because he's surrounded by people who tell him how great he is and so on. I took ideas from Elvis Presley's life, along with being inspired by Katy Perry's and others' lives who were raised as Christians, but went all nutty once they were in the music industry, and even an episode from Justin Bieber's life from the last year or so, which helps to begin Tim's downfall. I also took parts of American Idol, The Voice, X Factor, and maybe even Star Search and mixed it all up at the beginning of the novel so Timothy could go through the whole talent show idea and win the competition. I hope readers enjoy this novel. Now, I have to figure out what to write next: an antediluvian novel, a novel about Collins and the guy who I have as the Mahdi, and then begin a Tribulation era type novel series with those two.

What this novel is about:

Timothy Phillips is a seventeen year old Christian young adult who loves to sing in church. One day, he's discovered by the producer of a national talent show. Timothy goes on the show, performs Country music, instead of the Christian Southern Gospel he prefers, and ends up winning his portion of the show. As he encounters increasing hostility towards Christians, he begins to follow the world instead of Christ. The story follows his highs and lows as he becomes a famous Country musician shortly before the end times.
