It's a Conspiracy

Happy Friday, all--or I should say GOOD Friday. :-)



I think it's very fitting that I should want to spotlight a new book called
The Moses Conspiracy by Susan J. Reinhardt today. :)

Hi, Susan!



What inspired you to write The Moses Conspiracy?

 My late husband and I visited Gettysburg prior to Christmas in 2004. While standing in the old town square, surrounded by history, I could "hear" the forefathers' voices. However, they were like fading echoes.
After several failed attempts to write non-fiction pieces, I put it on the back burner and prayed for direction. In August 2005, my husband and I were talking about "the Gettysburg experience," and he said, "That's it!  That's your book! And you'll write it in 4 months and call it Ghosts of the Past."
I thought he was crazy, but caught the vision. The name changed to Echoes of the Past and later to The Moses Conspiracy. When I sat down at the computer, I had no clue what I was going to write. By Christmas 2005, I had 55,000 words.


What genre is your book?

I loosely define The Moses Conspiracy as Christian Speculative Fiction because it takes place in 2025. Although it takes place in the near future, I've avoided a lot of techno-babble. One take-away I wanted for the reader was the possibility this or something similar could happen.
What do you hope readers will take away from your book?

 There are several messages, including the faithfulness of God during difficult times, the importance of protecting our freedoms, and building strong family relationships.

 
What a lovely message!


Here's a little more about Susan's book:



A trip to post-terrorized Washington, D.C. in 2025 and a buggy accident in Bird-in-Hand, PA set in motion events that expose a diabolical plan to destroy the Christian community. Ellie and John Zimmerman find themselves embroiled in a life-threatening investigation, fighting a shadowy enemy.

Thanks so much, Susan!
 
Feel free to follow Susan on Twitter or friend her on Facebook.
 
I'll actually be taking off next week for Easter/spring break.
So, have a good Friday and Happy Easter!!
 
 
 
Do you celebrate Easter? What are your plans?
And who's looking forward to those Cadbury Eggs besides me? LOL

What an interesting premise for your book, Susan.
Happy Easter to both of you. Cadbury Creme eggs - sigh. I love them but once I have one I need more. It's not a pretty thing!

Have a blessed Easter!

Not really fond of Cadbury Creme eggs, but I am partial to biting the ears off of chocolate bunnies and harvesting black jelly beans. Have a Happy Easter and enjoy your Spring break.
