READERS
WANTED
We are looking for
a few good readers who love history, romance and the first and second centuries.
We invite you to aid the Bear with opinions and suggestions after reading his
novel Marcellus.
A Christian
romance novel set in the year 100 A.D. Drusilla,
a senator’s widow and the House Church’s patron, is dedicating the first
church building in Rome. Invited
for the weekend are Rome’s premier command Tribune, Marcellus, and his three
man staff. Drusilla’s youngest daughter is to be married to a senator almost
twice her age, and an advocate of the emperor worship. There is the wedding; a military display of sorts in the horror ridden
Colosseum; a dinner party; the dedication service; a quiet lakeside evening that
involves an ambush and the farewell. Then
there is the defect that kept the beautiful Corinna, Drusilla’s older
daughter, single and available for the giant Centurion.
How it works:
We
will send you, via e-mail, a chapter at a time. Chapters print out to about 13
pages. Finish one chapter and give
us your impressions and the next will be sent.
There is no cost
or obligation; our desire is that you enjoy this ancient period as it comes
alive with Marcellus and his command group, Drusilla and her daughters and
friend Prisca.
Our objective is
to get feedback and improve a novel, whose purpose is the exploration of turn
of the first century Christianity.
If you like
history, romance and contributing to the Christian community, then send us an
e-mail, put your slippers on, curl up in your favorite chair and explore Marcellus.
Can
a Roman command Tribune find happiness with a Christian matron whose life
objective is a ministry to the Widows? Can a battle scarred Centurion ever
develop a relationship? Was there a battle over the manuscripts of the NT?
Did
the first congregations face the abortion issue?
Read for fun and learn a bunch.
