"Spero is an imaginative fantasy that subtly instructs, entertains, and intellectually provokes the reader. It is fascinating reading. I'm definitely hooked on this series." Jean Heimann at Catholic Fire.
"...intelligent as well as inspiring..." Terry Barga at whattodoabout.com.
The first book in the Birth Pangs series, Fidelis, is Latin for faithfulness. The second book, Spero, is Latin for hope. Spero is an exploration, in fiction, of what hope is and why we need it. It is an exploration of what things are good to put our hope in and what things aren't. In the America of the future portrayed in the Birth Pangs series, all of the things that people have traditionally put their hope in have been brought low. There are no government agencies, no schools, and not even churches. In the face of daily perils, people have to figure out how where they are going to place their hope in dealing with them. In the end, there is one daily peril that surpasses them all: death. Spero is about people- even good people- putting their hope in lesser means to tackle lesser problems and being confronted with the consequences. Spero is a 'discussion' about our chief problems and what solutions, if any, are available to resolve them.Four months later than I had intended, but there it is. Now it is time for editing and all that jazz. You can look for Book 2 to be released around Christmas of 2008. As for the title… it will be released in due time, but if you have a guess, and are the first one to get it right, you’ll get a free copy of the paper back. Although as of this writing, some are hot on the trail.
The book came in at about 154,000 words.
I will be an exhibitor at this event: www.cornerstonefestival.com. This is more in connection with the Christian ministry I am involved in than the book, but I will have the book available for sale and more than happy to talk about it then, too.
