The Bible's Most Fascinating People

An Illustrated Collection

Stories from the Old and New Testaments

Just published by Reader's Digest Books, it is available wherever books are sold.

My science fiction novels can currently be found easily on Amazon.com.  Just search under my last name.  Be careful to spell it properly. 

Better yet, you can read one of my science fiction novels for free.  Just go to my publisher's website and select the format you want, either PDF or Microsoft Reader eBook.

Antediluvian is the story of Noah, but not like you remember it from Sunday School. It's now science fiction.

And you can read the first half of another of my books,  Somewhen Obscurely. Like Antediluvian, you can get it as either a PDF or as a Microsoft Reader eBook. The description, from Amazon.com:

Mohado -- vulgar term applied to timeslipped workers. Living as virtual slaves, these desparate workers move back and forth through time at the whims of their employers. This is Aramond Smith O'Reilly's life. Witness to his mother's murder, kidnapped, and sold into a life of misery... He will never know where - or when - he will be. After escaping wretched conditions, Aramond rises above his situation. Purchasing a timeship, he becomes the very thing mohados dread and fear: a coyote.

Check out a short story, from Amazon Shorts, Moon Over Aiyalon, about an Israeli sideways time machine.  Only 49 cents.

 Inheritance tells a tale about archeology, ancient biological warfare, and a lost civilization.  Available as an eBook.  The paperback version is coming soon.
