it also hit #7 in the free psychological thriller category (amazon uk) and it is appearing on other amazon bestselling lists in the united states and other english speaking countries.. .

I realise that the Metaphysical category for free ebooks isn't a huge category, but, as a new author, I'm still excited about it.

It also hit #7 in the free Psychological Thriller category (Amazon UK) and it is appearing on other Amazon bestselling lists in the United States and other English speaking countries.

This book is partially a satire of Sparlock the Warrior Wizard. It is also a philosophical thriller that discusses religious oppression, heresy, apostasy, and the obsession with predicting the end of the world.

I tried to make it accessible to a general audience that isn't familiar with Sparlock or Jehovah's Witnesses. I think that is helping with the marketing.

You can still get the Kindle ebook for free until July 24th at the appropriate link for your country:

After July 24th, it will be available at a reduced price for a limited time before reverting to the full price.

Here is a little more information about the novel:

I tried to write a story that doesn't require any pre-existing knowledge of Sparlock or Jehovah's Witnesses. I thought it would be better to appeal to a wider audience than just ex-jws. I haven't really tampered with the mythology of Sparlock the Warrior Wizard. Instead, I portrayed events in an alternate world that take place at about the same time as the Summer of Sparlock and it's aftermath. I also used history and mythology to present a fictional backstory for Sparlock.

There is an evolving mystery about a missing person and a financial collapse. The protagonist's investigation leads him to clues related to the Millerites and the Great Disappointment, Nelson Barbour, and Charles Taze Russell. The second book will deal with Joseph Rutherford and the later history of Jehovah's Witnesses.

I worked hard to present certain issues familiar to ex-jws in a fresh dramatic context.

If you don't have an ebook reader, you can still read this book on your computer by using the Kindle Cloud Reader http://www.amazon.com/CloudReader. There are also numerous apps for reading Kindle ebooks on phones and tablets.

If you have an ebook reader, but it doesn't support the Kindle format, then you can convert the file to a different format by using software such as Calibre

I would like to thank everyone who downloaded the book. Hopefully, this will help to expose a wider audience to Sparlock and some of the issues that former Jehovah's Witnesses have to face.

Thank you for your comments. I'm sorry it hurt Wasanelder Once's eyes.

The ebook version of this novel will launch at a special reduced price. Eventually, there will be a free promotion. I don't want price to be an obstacle for anyone who wants to read it.

The first book takes place in an alternate universe that shares a common history with ours. A series a dramatic events are portrayed that take place in "parallel" to the infamous "Summer of Sparlock" and its aftermath. This presents a new context from which to view the events in our world. An evolving mystery involves stories about Biblical and legendary characters who have had a profound effect on the lives of ex-jws and history in general.

Charles Taze Russell and the early Bible Student movement are mentioned frequently. Future books will take the story much closer to home and deal with the later history of Jehovah's Witnesses.

I've worked on this story for the better part of three years. This has involved extensive research into obscure and ancient texts. I hope that former Jehovah's Witnesses will enjoy the fresh perspective on the beloved Warrior Wizard. I have also tried to make the story accessible to those who are unaware of, or don't care about, Sparlock and Jehovah's Witnesses. (Of course, I hope they will care about these issues by the time they finish the novel.)

Spiritual Chess - A Short Story

by DT in

i wrote a short story about what might happen if a jehovah's witness and an apostate decided to play a game of chess.. you can read it here http://blog.sparlockofthemultiverse.com/spiritual-chess-a-short-story/.

DT

Thank you for your comments.

It looks like this thread might have prompted a real game of chess. That's kind of cool.

I remember playing chess when I was in the organization. Some witnesses were okay with it, but others liked to criticize it. They would sometimes point to an old article that was decades old to justify their views.
