Islam still remembers the Christian invasions of the Levant as barbaric butchery:
that legacy of spilled blood vitiates the efforts of peacemakers today:
this novel tells why.

what if William the Conqueror never invaded England,
there was no battle of Hastings,
the American colonies never rebelled,
and Britain stood alone vs Hitler?

A little about me: My philosophy of writing is simple: answer your muse, don't worry about making a living as an artist, fulfil yourself -- and when you are finally done with something, SHARE IT!

I am a family man with children, many still at home, and I am fifty going on sixty.
