An acclaimed story teller, Dee is an avid student of history with an extensive knowledge of the region, time period, historical conditions and customs that make up the book's plot.
Dee is a graduate of Brigham Young University who, prior to
becoming a career educator, served a stint in the Air Force as
an interrogator/translator, and as a Spanish and Arabic instructor. Dee is also a speaker who’s presented to groups as large as 5,000 and been the keynote speaker at seminars, conventions, and youth conferences. He has taught high school and college in three states and has developed exciting new
techniques that promise to have a very positive impact on the
classroom. Over the years, Dee has written numerous short stories, poems and several novels. For years he has been encouraged to publish his works and now is the time. With his artful ability to make a story compelling, along with his extensive knowledge of the cultural and religious background of the people in ancient Israel, and a comprehensive understanding of the theories used in his book, Dee is highly qualified to write this novel. Education is his profession; writing is his obsession.

Hello friends!
It was an exciting few days as we passed two significant milestones. First we reached 100 pre-orders, then quickly blew right past the 250 mark, which is very significant. Thank you to everyone who has helped and shown interest in the book. It is deeply appreciated.
These campaigns tend to have the most activity at the start and at the end, so it would be amazing if those inclined to support the novel could jump on board soon to help create even more interest. Activity creates interest.
If you're yet to make a decision, please check out all the rewards - a few people have earned acknowledgement in the book and there are a couple of people interested in the reward that names a character after them. That would be so cool to do.
I know many of you have been spreading the word on Facebook too, which has been
awesome. The page has been viewed more than 300 times by links from facebook.
I couldn't end without thanking Wendy Lady Kruger who brought us past 250 pre-orders with her generous assistance. Thank you, Wendy. I am so grateful.
Have a great week everyone, and let me know if you have any questions.
