Yes...finally

Sorry about the delay,.  Why has it been so long?  Summer.  Weather.  Politics.  Economy.
All of the above.  Or none.  Just procrastination at writing. But,  read
I did and so now, the deluge.
If you like novels dealing with religious conspiracy  you will be fascinated by SANCTUS ( William Morrow 978-0-06-203830-2) by Simon Toyne. This novel brings brings together many of the usual elements.  The religious edifice that is famous for its vast collection of manuscripts and religious writings.  But they are totally unavailable to modern scholars.  It has the monks at odds with the Vatican.  It has a suspicious suicide of one of the monks.  And the counter plots of the monastery to keep the body aways from the local Turkish police is very odd and violent.  .It also involves the long standing enmity between this monastic order and the keepers of the "old" religious faith.  It involves the leaders of a humanitarian foundation. The subplots of the monks who will stop at nothing to conceal their   perversion of the old religion, an unusual police group, and a group in South America are added to by the surprised and unsuspecting journalist sister of the dead monk keep the book filled with action and violence as well as twists and turns of religious lore..  what is t\\he secret being concealed by the amoral abbot of the monastery?  What goes on during the rituals?  Who is dead monk and why are he and his sister so special?  Why will the group at the monastery kill to protect their secrets?  It is a secret that could shake the foundations of religion as it we know it.  what if
Eve were not the cause of mankind's woes as suggested?  What if....Well, If you want to now what if, I have 3 books to give away if you contact me here, on Facebook, or on twitter.
