BIBLICAL FICTION SERIES
Who were the Wise Men, and what happened to them? My biblical fiction series, The Magi’s Encounters, answers those questions. It shows what they risked and their knowledge of Yeshua really cost them.
Book 1 : New Star
Plot: Studying a star linked to an eternal king ensnares Akilah in three countries’ religious and governmental power struggles. He must choose to protect what he knows of Yeshua or stay true to Magi society and its religion. Either choice could cost Akilah his life.
Scrivenings Press has contracted me for the entire series. New Star released Sept. 24, 2024, and the response has been a rousing two-thumbs up! I’m so excited to share the Wise Men’s journey with you!
The print and ebook editions are available now. A larger-print, hardcover edition (listed as “library binding” on Amazon) released Feb. 3, 2025. Order New Star on Amazon.
Settings: Persia, Nineveh, Susita, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Artas, Petra, the Negev Desert, and Ayla
Events are based on events described in Matthew 2, Luke 2, Isaiah, Micah, Ezra, Numbers, and historical records of the day, including that of Josephus and Herodotus.
Book 2 : Survival Secrets
The second book in The Magi’s Encounters series is in editing with my publisher and will launch in late September 2025.
Plot: As Parthia’s power shifts to its young half-blood (Persian-Roman) king and his ambitious Roman mother, power in Herod’s kingdom shifts to three of his sons. Against that backdrop, those who believe in Messiah as the prophecies foretold are in increasing danger. Enemies, the environment, and the secrets the Wise Men harbor test their newfound faith in ways they never could have imagined. The risk and cost of knowing about Yeshua has already exacted a toll on the Wise Men. Akilah and others he cares about realize the only One who can truly help them navigate life’s storms is the God they cannot see and know little of.
Settings: the Wilderness of Paran, Egypt, Crete, Adiabene, Persia, Jerusalem, Galilee, Perea
The other two books in the series have been plotted. An epilogue is also planned.
