The Final Countdown

Titulus Crucis/Title of the Cross (Chapter One)

January 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Check out the first chapter of the novel, posted now on my blog: The name plate was argued to bear remnants of the title bestowed upon Jesus at the time of crucifixion: “King of the Jews.” However nay-sayers were quick to discredit the find on a... (Read More)

Two Landmarks in the New Year!

December 29th - via: kickstarter.com
As I lounge at our house on New Years afternoon, I'm heartened by how close we are to two major achievements. First, We're only four backers away from the goal we set for New Years of 150 total supporters. Second, we're only three dollars short of... (Read More)

Blood Doctrine Audio Prologue (Merry Christmas!)

December 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
