Two For Eternity: Judea

This was a touchy area for me to write about. Being Catholic, I didn't want to do anything that could be considered sacreligious, but Vrag, the antagonist in my story, is the ultimate baddie, so what better way to set him up as such than to have him be Christianity's ultimate villain. There has been so much written, featured and told about this the time of Jesus Christ in the land of Judea, that this was a bit tricky. I didn't think I needed to paint much of a picture of the land and the time period, since most people have probably watched a movie or two or ten that took place during this time. Still, I wanted to add some flavor to it, so in this period's piece I wrote about some of the cultural aspects of the time such as the importance of the marketplace in Judea, the public baths, and a pilgrimage to the land of Galatia.

Being a work of fiction, I didn't want to just regurgitate what can be found in a standard bible, but at the same time I didn't want to stray to far off course of what is commonly known and accepted during this time. I also purposely never refer to Jesus by name, opting to call Him the Nazarene. The reason being is that I didn't want to spell out everything for the reader, hoping the reader will want to dig deeper and perhaps even do some research of their own for some of the time periods I wrote about. So if you like some biblical fiction, give Two For Eternity a try on sale on Amazon.
