What readers are saying?

"The Bishop & the Pawn was a riveting mix of mystery, religion, and the question of what is really good and evil. The stakes of "what goes thump in the night" are a lot higher when the thump has been under the floors of the Vatican for generations of papal leaders."

One of the youngest popes in recent history, Leo XIV, aka Shepherd, has just been elected by the conclave of cardinals. The bishop from New Zealand takes the Chair of Saint Peter and wastes no time beginning a mission to save the world. Given the vast access behind the papal curtain, Shepherd soon finds more hidden beneath the Vatican than just an Archive of old books. A trail of clues leads him to find a prisoner held for centuries by the church. Shepherd is pushed into a conundrum of moral and spiritual judgment that could alter the fate of all humanity in this tale of demons, deities, bishops, and pawns.

The event went great! I sold out all the copies the store had purchased for the event in just over an hour, and was invited back to do another signing in the coming year for The Bishop & The Pawn and for Evhelline MOrwin and the Quest for the Vault of Life once its completed. THey plan on ordering even more copies next time so I’ll be able to stay longer and meet even more new readers! I got to talk to some readers and share my writing journey as well as discuss some of the inspiration behind my stories. I left their on what can only be equated to some type of high and with a renewed energy to get my other books ready for the public as soon as possible. I wish I could just spend every day at events like that talking about my book and sharing the story with new people.
