ABNA 2009 Review of 'The Gospel According to the Roman Occupation'
ABNA 2009: "The Gospel According to the Romans" made it to the Quarterfinals.
Here is one of the professional reviews:
"This is exceptionally erudite, flawless, and subversively delicious. The author blends an almost vicious comedy to some serious history for a compelling historical fiction. The characters are richly drawn, the narrative fierce, muscular, compelling. The author has mastery of prose and story and knows how to mold the English language into an empire of a story. The action and dialogue move the story forward as well as develop the characters. The setting is atmospheric with the era pitch perfect. This is a story I would like to read in full."
