ABNA

My historical novel, "The Gospel According to the Romans" has made the Quarterfinal cut of ABNA, the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. Meaning that of the 5,000 adult novels, only 250 of us remain. there's still a long way to go!
You can read the first 5,000 words as a free download in Amazon's Kindle Store at http://www.amazon.com/Gospel-According-Romans-ebook/dp/B003CV7S4A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1269470744&sr=1-1
And if you don't have a Kindle, you can get a free Kindle-for-PCs download at the same place.
All reviews and comments greatly appreciated. Warning: it is not a Christian view of Jesus, but a skeptical pagan view.

GOD LIMERICKS - 1

God made Heaven, earth, plants, people, fleas
In six days, and then rested at ease;
Then He thought: “In those stones
“I’ll hide dinosaur bones!”
(He was always a bit of a tease.)

WHEN DREAMS DRY UP

When dreams dry up—
When dead dolls dance in rags—
Children are grown—
The full tit, withered, sags—
In memory and wish
The wrinkled penis rises, not in flesh—
Gardens are left to weeds—
Taps drip unfixed—
Dishes reused unwashed—
The music skips—
When there’s no love, not tenderness or lust—
Then let the decades crumble, and the dust
Of marriage not be swept up, but blow away
away
away

GURU LIMERICKS 4 - HITLER

Hitler, son of a half-Jewish bastard
Dreamed of occult power; Europe, aghast, heard
Race-hate psychodrama;
His unending trauma
Destroyed the whole state that he’d mastered.
