Epic Poetry

Man of God-Fugitive, Lover, Prophet! Welcome to ancient Israel and a time of great crisis for the Lord's people. The land is ruled by tyrants and its prophets persecuted to near extinction. The fugitive Elijah must draw on his full armory of miraculous powers to overcome his mortal enemies. More than a reading, LeRoy's rendition of his own epic poem is a full-on performance, taking the great prophet through the extremes of elation and despair. Meanwhile, the author draws on his professional background as a narrator to embody a rich and varied cast of voice characters, from the fierce declarations of a mighty angel to the sinister seductions of deadly Jezebel. At times raunchy, yet always reverent, this beautifully choreographed 12-book epic will embrace you in a timeless story of love and danger, wonder and prophecy!

Will No-One Rid Me of This Troublesome Prophet?! Jezebel. Yes, that Jezebel. The queen whose name for millennia has stood for female wickedness. Killer of innocents. Seducer of priests. And the Old Testament's greatest supervillain! Not so fast, says Jezebel herself. Mad as hell at the reputation history has dealt her, she enlists "a failed writer of obscure poetry and other works no-one cares to read" to tell her side of the story in this book. Not "harlot queen," she insists, but "virgin bride," not murderer but moderate, and certainly not the bad guy in her struggle with the prophet Elijah, that "unkempt fire-and-brimstone hairy hermit," and his successor Elisha. It's a riveting and saucy yarn, weaving invention around Scripture's narrative, while offering compelling insights into the "monsters" who live, and even rule, among us! Let this royal rant transport you to one of the Bible's greatest showdowns, and into the mind of a great antagonist.
