The Thrones of Genesis Series

A scorned prophetess. A deadly omen. Will this kinswoman of Adam and Eve persevere with intuition she can’t deny?

Book 1 – Ashes Like Bread: A Biblical Novel of Lamech and His Two Wives

2019 Readers’ Favorite bronze medal winner in Christian Fantasy

Zyla is used to the elders of the clan rejecting her dark glimpses into the future, and bitter that she doesn’t receive the honor she deserves. When her forecast of a terrible flood gets her exiled, she and her sister flee the mountain of Eden to live among evil descendants of the murderer Cain. Zyla is willing to do anything to advance her status, even if it means becoming a second wife to her sister’s desirable husband or aligning with forbidden spiritual powers.

When the flood Zyla prophesied slams into her new home, the outcast must decide who she really loves and what is worth risking death for. Will she be strong enough to find hope on the other side of the waters, or will the devastation sweep her and her prophecies away forever?

If you like ancient  legends and dramatic Old Testament re-imaginings, you’ll love this biblical fiction novel based on a story from Genesis 4.

Book 2 – The Seed Bearer’s Bride: A Novel of Fallen Angels, Nephilim, and the Woman Who Defied Their Power

2021 Foreword Indies finalist in Religious Fiction

In the mysterious world before Noah’s flood, the stars are ripe with prophecy about an ominous invasion of beings from the sky. The people of Adam and Eve await the event with dread, but Baraqua, a young woman of the clan, is unconcerned about anything but her schemes to marry a man forbidden to her because of her people’s strict marriage traditions. Through the long-awaited bride dream of one of the elders, Jared, Baraqua is forced to turn away from the man she believes she cannot live without and marry Jared, while the elders pray fervently that this headstrong scribe’s daughter will give birth to the world’s Savior, Anointed One.

This gripping historical fantasy novel about the era when fallen angels ruled the earth brings clarity to the mysterious “sons of God” of Genesis 6:1 and confirms the age-old belief that courage and love have the power to stand down evil.

Akliah is the de-facto wife of one of the Bible‘s most notorious villains. Yet her story is not Cain’s. It is entirely her own.

Gold in Havilah: A Novel of Cain’s Wife

Know this before we begin: I never planned to turn away from the true God. I didn’t intend to exchange heavenly love for fleshly, or dismiss that One who was all purity as though he were evil. Yet, I, Akliah, daughter of Adam, gorged on the same forbidden food he and my mother Eve ate on the day they chose to die. I was born with the tainting poison in my blood that first coursed through theirs in a garden called Eden. I craved the mysteries of unearned knowledge instead of the simplicity of God. That is the true curse that drove my parents from paradise—the lost desire for the heart of God.
