The Book of Josiah - An Introduction

In the distant future, the Steel God has replaced the God of the Bible, and Science is the only religion. A non-believing priest, Josiah works desperately to complete his time machine, as Elisha and the Inner Circle strive to frustrate his new ideas. Josiah must flee to the Deep, the squalid streets of Camden Town and Kings Cross, escape the hordes of Piranhas and followers of the Steel God, to finish his life's work.

Jos is visiting his wife, taking a break from working on his time machine to fly to Luna City, when he meets the mysterious Jonah, a mad prophet and convicted murderer. But when terrorist strike London, what will Jos and Jonah be prepared to do to save the ship?

Jo is an old man, life wasted on the futile project of building a time machine, desperate to see his wife and daughter once more. When they died in a car accident, his whole life came to a halt and now lies covered in a thick layer of dust. But this peace is shattered when a former student of Jo's, Eli, invites him to join a team. Their project? To build a city on the moon.

Jo, Jos and Josiah - each one of them building a time machine, each one of them disturbed by haunting dreams. They can't possibly be the same person - can they?

Here we go...

Ok, new plan.

So right now I'm writing a fantasy novel based on a world where Jewish mythology is all true. It's like a Jewish version of Constantine (or Hellblazer if you want to be really accurate).

Right now it's very much a work in progress but I'm struggling with committing my ideas to the page where they belong, instead of stewing around inside my head. So the time has come to blog the novel as we go along.

It may not make any sense, major plot points may go nowhere, characters may appear or vanish at my whim but time can be rewritten, and there is no fate but what we make.

So follow me for this crazy ride as I publish a section of the novel every Monday.
