Conquest and What’s Next

I just finished the first draft of Conquest, the fourth—and last—book in the Charm Wars Series. While I’m waiting a few weeks before revising the draft, I thought I’d start writing another novel, but one that’s not fantasy.

Over 25 years ago, I wrote a couple of drafts of The Vatican List, a novel I never tried to get published. It’s about a young Jewish professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts who goes to the Vatican Secret Archives in Rome, Italy to do some research. While he’s there, he discovers that his father, who is an extremely devout Jew living in Cambridge, is actually a Nazi war criminal.

I’ve certainly learned a lot since writing The Vatican List, and the book needs a lot of work, which I look forward to doing.

Writing it will be a lot of fun.
