New Series, New Blog.

The First Book in the 'Between The Verses' Series has been published. A new series of books, means a new blog.

Writing the Paradise books was a lot of fun, and a great form of personal study. But with that series concluding more than a thousand years in the future, I wanted a fresh start. So instead of looking further forward, I started over completely with Genesis. As with the Paradise Novels, there will be several points where the information we have is not sufficient to base a book on. Every significant point were I have relied on my own speculation will be marked, and my reasoning given. It's entirely possible that i am wrong, but the reader will have to make their own judgements in those areas.

For this series, I wanted to tell the stories of people who were present for Biblical Events, but not directly involved in them. Scripture has a close record of the men and women who were central to these events, even recording the words they said. But there are a hundred ways to learn more about them. So instead, I decided to look to the people affected, who are rarely, if ever, mentioned. This gave me a unique viewpoint, because we're reminded constantly to visualise what we're reading about during Bible Studies, and apply the lessons learned to our day. So each book in this new series will also have a modern day story, comparing those times with our own.

As a result, there's really no way to know how closely the books will tie together, or how many there will be. I'll make an effort to keep them chronological, and while there may be shorter novellas in between the 'main' books, each one will be intended as a standalone story.

Each book will be available over on the 'Between The Verses' series blog. Watch there for further updates.
