title: Hephzibah of Heaven
author: Carter, Mark A.
description: Mark A. Carter has said, "I am a bug who dreamed he was a man who promised God that he would write a book." And this author has written an inspirational, Mythpunk novel and deific romance indeed that champions women. "Hephzibah of Heaven" contains three love stories: Gabriel and Rebecca; Shepherd and Lily; and, Adi and Sheba. It is about a struggling writer, with a family history going back to the time of the crucifixion, who becomes gravely ill and promises God that he will write a book for him if he helps him recover from his illness. It is about Shepherd aboard starship Noah who escapes the end of the world brought about by collision with asteroid Lucifer, becomes Homo angelicus, and returns to Earth four million years in the future. And it is about Christ and Hephzibah, the crucifixion, a moment of deific anger, for love, and the two thousand year punishment that she receives. "Hephzibah of Heaven" shows us the crucifixion as we have never seen it, and our involvement in the lives of alien Angels and Demons of fire and light as has never been imagined. This Mythpunk novel is a must read page turner and romance tear jerker that you will cherish. - Mary Chanton Krater
