Story Behind The Book
It had been years since I'd written a novel, having been a screenwriter and non-fiction book author all that time, but one day I began writing a novel, "God Wars: Living with Angels," based on a wish fulfillment fantasy of mine, that being able to immediately visit justice upon the bad guys (and gals) of the world. So I created a character, a young woman, who gains magical powers and uses them to wreak havoc and justice of a sort on the bad people around her. But the screenplay wouldn't stop, it just kept getting longer and longer until finally it was nearly three times the length of a feature film screenplay and I realized I'd been bamboozled -- the story had forced me to write a novel against my will!!! So I gave in and converted it to novel format and thus was born "God Wars: Living with Angels."
