I was born in Canada and remember as a small boy crawling in my snow-fort. I closed my eyes, and when I tried to open them, they were frozen shut. I didn't panic, but wiped away the ice crystals, unglued my eyes and kept on building my tunnel. Those were great days! I moved to Central California before seventh grade and couldn't believe I lived in a land where oranges grew on trees and you could pick grapes from the vine.
I used to wonder what I wanted to do with my life, what kind of work specifically. I was miserable not knowing and bordering on desperate. Then one day a friend gave me his typewriter. I began working on a novel. A different person told me it was much easier on a computer, so I bought one and began getting up at 4:30 A.M. each morning before work, writing for three hours. My eyes were unglued once again as the pang of misery left my gut. I knew exactly what I wanted to do: write. So now that's what I do, I write, and write, and write, and I love it.

Where to begin on this one?
A Is For Anachronism: The modern names of several constellations are listed, including Cassiopeia, Andromeda, and Perseus (misspelled Peruses). However, these are names of characters in a specific Greek myth, and at this time in history, the Greeks did not yet exist as a people.
M Is For Misused Words: This author has a bad habit of using words that are similar in sound or spelling to the words that he actually SHOULD have used. Where was the proofreader / copy editor who is supposed to catch such mistakes?
Examples: p. 15, stepped is used for STEEPED; p. 54, brier for BIER; p. 57, dinning / DINING, p. 63, everyday / EVERY DAY; p. 83, subtlety / SUBTLY; p. 88, afterward / AFTWARD; p. 121, wrinkle / WINKLE; p. 139, styles / STYLUS; p. 139, governmental/ GOVERNMENT; p. 162, shift / SIFT; p. 167, crock / CROOK; p. 174, lager / LAAGER; p. 182, riding / RIDDING; p. 217, too / TO; p. 242, unto / ONTO; p. 253, wined / WINGED; p. 253, revealers / REVELERS; p. 256, contended / CONTENTED; p. 260, exhalation / EXALTATION; p. 274, threat / THREAD.
(Whew!)

A lot of spelling and usage errors, but this was otherwise the most dramatic of the series.

nimrod a god? Bel and satan the true god? What happens?
Nimrod becomes power mad, believing he is to become a god through belief in satan. His desire to build a tower to heaven drives him to war. His wife seeks to obtain the lust of one who is married already. Tales of intrigue, lust, power struggle against Jehovah God, and the ultimate populating the earth through the destruction of Nimrod's great city. Excellent read.
