Rabbi Nachman of Breslov once said, “Whoever is able to write a book and does not, it is as if he has lost a child.” As an author, it is a quote that is especially meaningful to me. For, like raising a child, writing a book is a labor of love. In both cases, you invest a lot of time, thought and emotions into guiding them to be the best that they can be.
I remember being a young child, myself, and hearing my dad say that “we have only one purpose in life, and that is to leave this world a little better than we found it.” This thought has been a core principle that has guided me throughout my life, and it is what motivates me to write.
In a word, I write about freedom. Like the story of the Exodus from Egypt, I tell of escaping political oppression and of spiritual liberation from materialism, suffering and limited thought. For spiritual enlightenment is connected to political liberty. Rarely do individuals living in tyranny in this world have the luxury of contemplating otherworldly phenomena.
What Can You Expect…
In one sentence, you will get complete access to me, as an author, and my writing. You will get excerpts from my books, complete with additional author notes, character profiles and commentary, the history behind my stories, and preview content from my upcoming novel, Mckinley: Climb of Hope.
Here’s the monthly breakdown…
The First Sunday of each month, readers will enjoy an excerpt from my latest novel, True Identity. This excerpt will be available to both FREE and PAID subscribers.
The Second Sunday of each month, readers will receive either a “History Behind the Story”, or “Character Commentary” essay. Imagine waking up to find interesting history, or the reflections of my characters (on life, spirituality, current events, or world affairs) delivered right to your email inbox!
The Third Sunday of each month, readers will enjoy, yet again, a second excerpt from my novel, True Identity! I promise these novel excerpts will inspire and bring you reading enjoyment.
The Fourth Sunday of each month, Premium (Paid) Subscribers will receive content from my upcoming novel, Mckinley: Climb of Hope. This will be an inside look into my writing process and could include draft chapters, character development, inspirational material, and research for the book. An added benefit is that a portion of proceeds, both from “Suspense and Spirituality” and from future sales of this novel, will be donated to the American Cancer Society. So, your support for my writing, and reading pleasure, will help those struggling with cancer!
For those months with a Fifth Sunday, I will provide you with exceptional bonus material at no additional cost!
I hope my writing inspires and brings meaning into your life and look forward to our future engagement.
