This afternoon, I managed, while doing revisions to my novel, Relics of Life, to produce what was needed to wrap up the storyline completely. I rewrote a scene, improving it, and added a scene to tie up any loose ends that hadn’t been done in my first draft of this amazing story.

I’ve got several weeks to a month or two before this story will be ready to be published, but it’s getting closer!

My last published book was in the spring of 2022. I’d rather prefer having at least one book out each year for my readers.

So sorry to my readers that I fell behind!

Here’s the possible book cover and blurb for Relics of Life:

Blurb:

The world is in turmoil from Russia to the United States.

Monks Sergius and Herman from a monastery in Russia are sent to the United States to find a saint’s prophetic writings and a small piece of the Cross of Christ that went missing during Stalin’s reign but were smuggled into America in 1978.

The monks’ search takes them to Virginia to the town of Fairview, where quiet introvert Stephanie and her family live in the era of a declining American Empire giving birth to mass surveillance, rampant crime, corruption, poverty, and loss of connection to God and humanity. In addition to the ominous conditions of Stephanie’s town and country is a catastrophic third world war.

Stephanie and her family face harrowing events that are tearing them apart. They must gain the courage to fight to reconnect. As the monks pursue the relics, they meet Stephanie and others at her church–the last one in town. Through their collective prayer and search for the holy relics, they hold onto hope for themselves and a broken, decimated world.

Updates on a summer publishing date in the coming weeks to month.
