Update: Through His Disciples Eyes is now published. Click this link to buy at Amazon, or scroll down to read about the plot.
It’s almost ready. If all goes smoothly, my novel will be published this month of November (2022). I’m not good at selling my work, but I am especially proud of this book. It’s a very unusual plot.
I had the idea fifteen years ago and began writing it about five years ago. Pulling together the three stories in one was quite a trick – and they all had to connect in the end. In addition, I interweaved concepts from self-help, spirituality, the Bible, and new thought ideas into an allegorical tale. Oh, and with a light touch of mysticism.
I’m putting my first reveal here before publication, along with the book cover. I hope it piques your interest. Check out my blurb below, and please share it with others who you think might find this interesting. I will update when it is finally published.
What if Jesus lived in modern times? Would history repeat itself?
In the year 2029, the world is broken, and so is Max Greenwood. In his attempt to find inner peace, he learns of a long-lost prophet—Joshua Cane—who lived in the 1950s. His life appears to mirror that of Jesus’s, complete with healing miracles, disciples, and being murdered in his thirties. Researching for more, Max uncovers information on two of the disciples. Tobias Jones is a tempestuous man who separates from Cane’s other followers to spread the prophet’s teachings on his own. His ideas to control the righteous message lead to trouble. Julia Flores is a teen whose mother kicked her out. Homeless and feeling unloved, she finds purpose in following Joshua Cane on his Mission to spread peace. As she travels with him, emotional issues from her past emerge, causing drama along the way. The stories of these troubled souls searching for meaning trigger life-altering revelations for Max Greenwood—revelations not only about Joshua and his disciples, but about himself and all of us.
Congrats on pulling off three stories in one and on the upcoming publication, Lori!

I honestly don’t have the first clue about marketing either. I’m just a writer. 🤷♀️
