Abigail, a fervent believer in the apocalyptic teachings of a radio preacher, is desperate to save her son from Judgment Day as she readies herself for the Rapture—due to arrive in just a few days.

I’ve updated the Art Page with a gallery, for my new painting series: Knew Testament. The next phase will take (an indefinite number of) months. My intention is to write a novel in the meantime.
