Release Date!

"Daughter of the King" is officially scheduled for release on the Prism Book Group website. The month is December, 2012. Yes! Sometime within the next 45 days, "Daughter of the King" will be ready for presentation to readers.

What's the book about? It's the story of a princess who lived more than three thousand years ago. In a time when fathers arranged marriages, Princess Michal dared to fall in love--with a hero named David. As recounted in the Bible, Princess Michal helped David escape from her insane father. King Saul punished his daughter by secretly giving her to a sadistic drunkard. After seven years of exile, she is rescued—only to find her old life is gone forever. Many of her relatives have been murdered. Her beloved David has acquired six wives in her absence, and is now King of Judea. Can Michal hope to be reunited with him? Princess Michal’s dream is to bear the son who will reclaim her father’s kingdom. She must draw on faith, patriotism, and strength to sustain her in the midst of war, infidelity, madness, and betrayal.

The 'bones' of the story are contained in the Bible, mostly in II Samuel. King Saul, King David, and Princess Michal were real people. I hope you will enjoy reading about them as much as Sharon Faucheux and I loved writing their story.

See It on You Tube

Wanna see something cool? Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsVUR6... . Yes, it’s a commercial, but it’s not a crumby commercial like the one handed to Ralphie in A Christmas Story. This two minute clip would be worth a visit for the music alone. Oh, BTW, I’m co-author of the book the trailer plugs…surely that would never affect my objectivity, would it?

It's Alive!

Daughter of the King is now available at http://goo.gl/5WLKj It's the story of Princess Michal, daughter of King Saul, the first monarch of ancient Israel. The events of Michal's life are in the Bible, first and second Kings and Chronicles. In an age when fathers arranged marriages, she dared to fall in love with one of her father’s soldiers—David, from the little town of Bethlehem. How could any woman resist him? Not only was David revered for killing the giant Goliath, the young man was handsome, courageous, an expert musician, and writer of touching poetry such as the famous 23rd Psalm. Through war, infidelity, disappointment, and betrayal, the one constant is Michal’s love for David.

The ebook is on Amazon now--bargain priced at $2.99--and should be on the Barnes & Noble website in a day or two. If you enjoy reading “Daughter of the King” as much as Sharon Faucheux and I enjoyed writing it, you’re in for a treat.
