About the author

Harold Eppley has been writing stories for as long as he can remember. In third grade he sold hand-printed copies of his "books" to classmates for a quarter each until his mother made him stop. A graduate of Saint Olaf College and Wartburg Theological Seminary, he is the author of 7 spiritual nonfiction books, co-written with his wife, Rochelle Melander. His first novel, Ash Wednesday, which takes a satirical look at contemporary American religion, represents a radical departure from his earlier work and contains unique insights gleaned from (too) many years as a church insider.
