In Israel, a man clutching a backpack searches desperately for a boat. In Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a message from Lucas Davenport: You're about to get a visitor. It's an Israeli cop, and she's chasing a man who's smuggled out an extraordinary relic — an ancient inscribed stone revealing startling details about the man known as King Solomon.
"Wait a minute," laughs Virgil. "Is this one of those mystical movie-plot deals? The secret artifact, the blockbuster revelation, the teams of murderous bad guys? Should I be boning up on my Bible verses?" He looks at the investigator. She's not laughing.
As it turns out, there are very bad men chasing the relic, and they don't care who's in the way or what they have to do to get it. "They're crazies," she says.
"What kind of crazies?"
"Palestinian crazies, Syrian crazies, Egyptian crazies, maybe a couple of Israeli crazies. Turks. Some Americans, too, I suppose. Maybe the Pope."
Perhaps Virgil should start praying. Views: 828

I was looking at it to Co-Publish/Author with my friend, thinking we would find just a little more of the story, which we have not. From her stopping point in the book, the story could go any way. I thought I would put it out there to you, present and future authors. Write a chapter and submit it for review, If we include it, we will add you to the list of authors and go on from there. Let's see where we can take it, make in an anthology.The title is taken from the word file the manuscript was found in, 'Total December', which I have come to believe is actually a reference to her accumulated work of that month. Some of the work is rough, some needs formatted, but I will work on that when I have time over the next few months. I may even write a chapter if my muse cracks me in the back of the skull with a bat, screaming "you know what comes next!"Anyway, from this day forward it is a project, an experiment. Lets see where we can take it! Join in on this anthology and get your name out there for others to see!You can reach me by email @: [email protected]!JT Lewis Views: 827
