\"lattruthcover\"<\/a>Attention, shoppers!\u00a0 Just in time for Mithrasmas \u2013 or whatever the hell you choose to call this festive season\u2014we bring you the full ebook version of The Lateral Truth: An Apostate\u2019s Bible Stories<\/em>, available for your convenience in Kindle<\/a>, Kobo<\/a>, and Nook<\/a> formats:<\/p>\n

Was Moses really such a great liberator? How did a thug as thick as Samson get to be a hero? Wasn’t the miracle at Bethesda about as merciful as pulling wings off flies? The fifteen stories in The Lateral Truth follow selected biblical themes through to their illogical conclusions, building on questions the author was never brave enough to ask in Sunday school.<\/em><\/p>\n

Note: some of the shorter tales have been posted on this site over the past three years; now they\u2019re all neatly packaged up in e-form, along with stories and a novella that have never seen the light of electronic day. \u00a0Add in a wicked new cover designed by J. Pearce, featuring L\u00e9on Bonnat\u2019s painting of a buck-naked Job looking somewhat out of patience.\u00a0 What better gift could there be for that hard-to-please apostate on your list?<\/p>\n

But wait!\u00a0 There\u2019s more!<\/p>\n

Also available in Kindle<\/a>, Kobo<\/a>, and Nook<\/a> is my latest novel, Cadon, Hunter<\/em>, set in an era when tribal societies\"cadoncover\"<\/a> share the world with the earliest civilizations.\u00a0 After a young nomadic hunter-gatherer accidentally manages to devastate the confederacy of tribes he belongs to, he must embark with a few other survivors on a picaresque journey into the far more hazardous civilized world. \u00a0While not idealizing the Wild Ones as noble savages, the story turns the notion of \u201ccivilized\u201d on its head, and takes a side-swipe at the origins of religion.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty funny, too.\u00a0 Anyway, I think it\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n

Plus, I had to find some<\/em> use for that PhD in archaeology.<\/p>\n

Happy Mithrasmas shopping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
