THE BONES OF GOD -- First publication, 1986, Avon Books, and now released in ebook format.

This was a 'serious' book made to look silly by a horrible cover on the original paperback edition (an ersatz Obi Wan Kenobi looking in a spaceship window)—see the left hand side cover above. I love this title, and still love the book (and I like the cover I've put together—see the right hand side cover—much better than the original).

I'd always wanted to write a book grinding my own particular axe that it's the disciples, not the prophet, who determine the course of the eventual religion, molding the prophet's teaching to their own agendas. I once started to do a fictional account of the life of Christ, but instead decided to take it into the future and widen my scope.

I was glad that John Douglas was willing to take a chance on the book, but I wish it would have been pushed more, or even given a half-decent cover. When I decided to put it out in ebook form, I figured I couldn't do worse... Hopefully, you feel the same way! THE BONES OF GOD was dedicated (again) to Denise Parsley Leigh
