Kataklusmós Q&A

This short Q&A describes how my novel, "Kataklusmós", differs from typical mystery-thriller-spy stories. There was a time when science, philosophy, and faith were considered to be different ways of looking at a single reality, but in recent centuries those subjects have been separated into specialties and sub-specialties that have little, if anything, to say to one another. "Kataklusmós" challenge Read more of this blog post »

7 years after “Toward the Gleam” was published, it gives me joy to announce the publication of the sequel, “The Lucifer Ego”, a rousing mystery-thriller. The theft of the ancient “Toward the Gleam” manuscript, and the Oxford archaeologist recruited to recover it. Prehistoric archaeology, psychology, mythology (including Middle-Earth and Narnia), and First Things.

Order the print version at: https://www.amazon.com/Lucifer-Ego-Se...

Or the Kindle version: https://www.amazon.com/Lucifer-Ego-Se...

If you are so minded, I’d be obliged if you’d post this message on social media, and post a review of the book.
