I’ve given hints and little tidbits about my next release, By the Waters of Babylon (BTWOB), but it’s finally time to share with my newsletter faithful a little more detail about this EXCITING story! The novella uses Psalm 137 as its foundation for the story, pulling supplemental plot from passages in 2 Kings 24-25, 2 Chronicles 36, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Proverbs. I …
I’m guessing you’ve never thought of Batman while reading the book of Isaiah. Me neither. But in Isaiah’s Daughter, this courageous prophet must slip through a secret entrance in his personal wine cellar and enter a honeycomb of underground caves to rescue his friends.
