It has been a few years since my last novel was released. At the time I did a long series on self publishing (find it here). I found that the series was helpful to me even in this latest effort.
Check out the new novel over at Amazon (e-book) or Lulu (paperback). Note that I’m doing a free e-book download promotion at Amazon starting 2/27 and ending 3/4.
I asked claude.ai to build a promotion less than 350 words for this book and this is what it gave me. Not bad!
A biblical epic of faith, power, and prophecy in the ancient world
Journey to the tumultuous world of the ancient Near East in this gripping reimagining of the prophet Jeremiah’s extraordinary life. As empires clash and Jerusalem faces destruction, one reluctant prophet stands at the crossroads of history, torn between divine calling and human frailty.
Jeremiah never wanted to be The God’s voice. Yet as Babylon’s armies threaten everything he loves, he finds himself caught in a dangerous spiritual battle against the seductive Queen of Heaven who tempts his people away from their faith. From the mud-filled cistern where his enemies left him to die to the courts of Pharaoh himself, Jeremiah’s journey reveals the high cost of speaking truth to power.
With rich historical detail and psychological depth, “The Prophet and the Queen” explores:
- The fall of Jerusalem and the exile that changed Judaism forever
- The complex web of ancient empires—Babylon, Egypt, and Assyria
- The intimate struggles of a prophet who questions his own worth while remaining faithful
- The timeless tension between cultural assimilation and preserving identity
Perfect for readers of Francine Rivers, Geraldine Brooks, and Tessa Afshar, this meticulously researched novel brings biblical history to vivid life while exploring questions of faith, purpose, and personal integrity that resonate across millennia.
“A mesmerizing tale that humanizes one of the Bible’s most enigmatic prophets while illuminating the turbulent world he inhabited. Readers will be swept away by this powerful reimagining of ancient events that shaped religious history.”
