Hi all, Just a quick update...So my amazing producer/voice talent, Jill Myers, finished a week ahead of schedule. The book is under quality check review by Audible, which takes up to 14 days. I don't anticipate issues, as it all sounded amazing, so as soon as that's wrapped up, it should be scheduled to go to market. I will continue to update as I know more -- and thanks everyone for your interest! Rachel

So what's the big surprise I mentioned the other week? Prison Break is coming to audiobook! It'll be available on Audible, Amazon and iTunes to start with, and some additional channels after that. So what kind of timeframe are we looking at? Production will wrap up August 13th. There's a little bit of time needed for review and final details, but it should go live sometime the week of the 13th. I will of course post links when it's ready. I'll also plan on doing some giveaways to celebrate the release. Stay tuned!!

This blog post is devoted to Edlin Falgir's beliefs, particularly the branch of monotheism to which he belongs . The short answer is, a Christian denomination that has yet to come into existence (ie I made it up). I draw on Catholic teachings, with a little bit of the independent nature of some protestant sects for the main framework of his faith. It doesn't arise in Prison Break , but I would envision some of the symbolism and mysticism of the Orthodox church in Edlin's approach. The focus on works is a cornerstone of Edlin's philosophy - that, through works, his faith is justified. He does not adhere to rigid hierarchies of leadership, nor is he dogmatic. He sees faith, properly practiced, as a vehicle for good, but he does not demand that others adhere to his beliefs. Belief is a way for him to understand and make sense of the world. He believes in God, but doesn't pretend to have all the answers.

Is a pre-announcement announcement a thing? Because that's what this is! There's still some timeline details to work out before I can delve into more detail -- but soon (very soon!) I'll have some big news about Prison Break . I'm super pumped. Stay tuned -- I'll post more as soon as I can!

This blog post is devoted to exploring 'changing tides' facing the characters of Prison Break and the Unholy Trinity series. What "changing tides"? There are a lot of different forces in the Unholy Trinity series exerting various pulls on the protagonists and other characters. And, of course, there's the ups and downs of life, the "wheel of fortune", that we all experience. But these are exacerbated by the structure of the world, and the extremes that dominate it: extreme wealth and poverty, extreme privilege and want, extreme "justice" and exceptions. When society is so stratified, the ups are much higher and the downs much lower. As Prison Break and later Judas Kiss tell the stories of people far nearer the bottom of society's pecking order than the top, the downs are pretty low. How low? Imprisonment and death sentence low, for starters. In the world described, how can the 'tide change' for the protagonists? This...

This blog post is devoted to exploring one of the key themes of Prison Break and the Unholy Trinity series: interfaith cooperation, especially among the marginalized.   How does interfaith friendship impact Prison Break , or the Unholy Trinity series? Interfaith cooperation and friendship is really the backbone of Prison Break and the series. Without delving too deeply into the world (that's another post), the series takes place in a universe of limited and strictly sanctioned intellectual diversity -- and it's dangerous to hold beliefs that fall outside of that spectrum. One of Prison Break 's protagonists is non-religious (Agata) and the other is a priest (Father Edlin). Both hold beliefs that are decidedly outside the mainstream, but it's Father Edlin whose beliefs actually land him in trouble. How? Father Edlin sees the church as a mission from God, a calling to serve the people. Edlin believes that faith is justified by works, and that the state-sanction...

As promised, dear readers (all 15 of you! 😁 ), a special announcement about an upcoming release! Mercy is weakness. Forgiveness is blasphemy. Sin is crime. The unholy trinity - monotheists, polytheists and technotheists - rule in unison. Justice is not blind, but soulless. In a city of stratified wealth and endemic poverty, Father Edlin tries to make a difference. His little church and free clinics provide a flicker of hope to the downtrodden populace. But not for long. The men with guns show up, and it's only a matter of time before a forced confession of heresy is extracted. Now Father Edlin sits in a cell, awaiting the fulfillment of his death sentence. But somewhere in the night, a friend lurks, waiting for the chance to pay off an old debt... Available April 10th. Available for pre-order now !
